GRAVHOUNDS

GRAVHOUNDS is scheduled to enter Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview on November 2, 2026.

GRAVHOUNDS is officially announced as a day-one Xbox Game Pass release for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC.

The PC version is listed on Steam with single-player and online cooperative multiplayer support.

A free GRAVHOUNDS demo launched on Steam on October 12, 2026, featuring four playable Gravhounds and seven planets.

The developer confirmed that progress from the October 2026 demo does not carry over to the Early Access release.

GRAVHOUNDS supports solo gameplay and online cooperative missions with up to four players.

The October 2026 demo allows players to skip tutorials and enter multiplayer directly from the main menu. Solo play still requires completing a tutorial.

Players can transport supplies to teammates, coordinate construction, protect infrastructure, and rescue crew members under attack.

The official Xbox listing includes Xbox cross-platform multiplayer and cross-platform cooperative features. Steam-to-Xbox crossplay should be confirmed separately before being advertised.

Players can undertake jobs alone, explore planetary environments, gather resources, and defend their operations without a full squad.

Selene is one of the four playable Gravhounds included in the October 2026 demo.

Zane is a playable demo character and was the most frequently selected Gravhound during the September open playtest, accounting for approximately 30% of character selections.

Dozer is one of the four officially confirmed playable Gravhounds in the October 2026 demo.

Finn completes the four-character roster confirmed for the October 2026 demo.

The October 2026 demo Mod Deck Builder allows players to select 10 common Mods for their deck.

Players can include up to two Showstopper Mods alongside their selected common Mods.

Reward Pods provide randomized upgrades during missions, with the demo's Mod Deck Builder restricting Mod draws to the selected deck.

Players can change their selected Mod Deck between expeditions to experiment with different combinations.

The officially described upgrade system supports different approaches emphasizing mobility, firepower, defense, or combinations of bonuses.

Research Point rewards were reworked for faster progression in the October 2026 demo.

The Grav Beam allows players to grab resources, move equipment, position Build Kits, and manipulate physical objects.

Players can launch objects across the battlefield and use nearby materials as improvised projectiles against enemies.

The Grav Beam can transport useful items, including health pickups, toward teammates during cooperative missions.

The industrial propulsion rig supports multidirectional boosting, jumping, hovering, and rapid battlefield repositioning.

Players can grind along pipeline infrastructure at high speed, with their propulsion rig receiving unlimited boost while riding the pipeline.

The October 2026 demo update introduced free ground dashing and improved pipeline grinding.

The October 2026 demo includes seven explorable planets distributed across two solar systems.

The Coffee Cat escort mission involves protecting the crew's hub-based feline ally while traveling through dangerous planetary territory.

The Refinery mission involves defending a fixed position while gathering resources with the Collector.

Purrmafrost was identified as a particularly challenging planet during the September open playtest, with a reported mission success rate slightly above 50%.

The demo development updates describe additional planetary features, including shrines, teleporters, side activities, and activity completion rewards.

Remaining on a planet longer can increase potential rewards, but enemy swarms become progressively more dangerous as the shift continues.
