Dumpster Gang is scheduled to launch in December 2026 on XBOX PC, with Day One availability in XBOX PC Game Pass. Xbox Wire revealed the game on August 27, 2026, but did not announce an exact release day or price. The official announcement is detailed in the Xbox Wire post.
This co-op sandbox supports 1 to 4 players, with each participant controlling a raccoon. Players will sneak into buildings, steal scrap metal, raid snacks and search dumpsters while trying to cause chaos and escape a relentless exterminator.
Raccoon raids mix stealth, scavenging and slapstick chaos
Climbing, sneaking and collecting items turn each expedition into a compact chaotic puzzle. The loot also serves a longer-term purpose: it can be used to customize the gang’s hideout, giving the raids some continuity beyond a single escape.
Hats are another customization option, and Curve Games says they will grant unique abilities. Their number and individual effects remain undisclosed, so the tactical depth of this system cannot yet be assessed.
Curve Games presents Dumpster Gang alongside its physics-based games for friends, including Human Fall Flat and Wobbly Life. That positioning makes the intended appeal clear: group play built around physical comedy, improvised trouble and a shared objective.
The December launch still has no exact date
The confirmed window is December 2026 on XBOX PC, with inclusion in XBOX PC Game Pass at launch. The announcement has not specified a price, edition or additional platform. For groups planning an end-of-year co-op session, the exact date is the key detail still missing.
