What it is
Deep Dish Dungeon is a co-operative first‑person dungeon crawler from Behold Studios, published by Raw Fury. It blends exploration, light survival and crafting with puzzle and Metroidvania elements: you forage and scavenge in a hand‑crafted dungeon, return to camp to craft tools and cook meals that modify stats, and (if you choose) tackle the game with up to two friends. Release is confirmed for 13 October 2026 on PC and Xbox Series X|S, with day‑one availability on Xbox Game Pass.

Story and setting
The game drops you into a single, sprawling dungeon that’s been constructed room‑by‑room rather than procedurally generated. The marketing and store text frame the dungeon as an enigma to be unravelled: corridors, chambers and hidden passageways hold resources, puzzles, monsters with varied behaviours and the story seeds you piece together as you descend. The tone sits between fantasy and low‑level horror—the visuals and trailers emphasise atmosphere more than overt narrative beats—but the developer has been clear the focus is exploration and discovery rather than a heavy linear plot. Sources describe returning to a campsite between runs as part of the pacing, where crafting and cooking change how you approach the next descent.
How it plays
Deep Dish Dungeon is first‑person. Core loops are exploration, resource gathering, campsite management, crafting and combat. Food and crafted tools unlock progress: recipes and new gear alter your stats and open new routes through the dungeon. The game supports solo play and online co‑op with up to three players in total (yourself plus up to two friends), and stores and trailers make a point of cooperative information‑sharing and joint problem solving rather than competitive systems. The Steam and Xbox descriptions list features such as cross‑platform multiplayer between PC and Xbox, Steam achievements and cloud saves. A free demo has been available for players to try sections of the game ahead of launch.
Platforms, editions and UK specifics

Trailers, showcases and what they showed
The game was included in the ID@Xbox / IGN showcase during April 2026, where Raw Fury and Behold released an overview gameplay trailer demonstrating first‑person exploration, campsite mechanics, cooking, crafting and co‑op. At Gamescom (Xbox segment) on 27 August 2026 the publisher released a date‑reveal trailer confirming 13 October 2026 and reiterating the Game Pass day‑one announcement. Steam’s store page and community posts have also hosted gameplay clips and supported a playable demo during Steam events such as Next Fest.
