Earlier this year, those paying attention might have noticed an extraordinary game emerging on social platforms, centered around excavating a hole and seemingly nothing beyond that.
Indeed, that game is A Game About Digging a Hole, and following its tremendous success on PC, it’s set to appear on consoles.
The viral sensation indie game is burrowing its way to PS5 on 9th December 2025:
The game is fundamentally a straightforward concept; it’s entirely focused on digging a hole in search of discovering treasures beneath the ground outside your new residence.
As you excavate, you uncover resources that can be sold, and the money you earn can be invested in enhancements to expedite and simplify the digging process.
It’s a highly basic feedback loop, and when you layer on top a sense of intrigue — just what treasures await if you dig deep enough? — it results in a brief yet captivating experience.
The game is priced at £4.29 on Steam, and we anticipate the cost will be similar on the PS Store.
