How much will Deep Dish Dungeon cost?
The price has not been announced. Neither the Steam page nor the Xbox store shows a figure, and Raw Fury has not confirmed editions. Ignore placeholder prices on forums and trackers until the official listings update.

Is Deep Dish Dungeon coming to Game Pass?
Yes, day one on Game Pass across console, PC, and Cloud. The placement was confirmed through the ID@Xbox spring showcase coverage, and Xbox Play Anywhere support adds shared saves between Xbox consoles and PC.

Do demo saves carry over to the full game?
No. Demo progress lives in a separate save file that does not transfer to the October 13, 2026 release. Treat the demo as practice for the cooking and crafting loop, which our beginner guide teaches step by step.

Does the dungeon have a map or compass?
No. The dungeon is handcrafted with no map and no compass. Progress comes from memorizing landmarks such as bone piles, statues, torches, and sealed doors. If you dislike navigating by memory, try the free demo first before committing to the full game.

How many players does co-op support?
Solo or online with up to 2 friends, for a maximum of 3 players. That figure comes from Steam materials and the May 2026 fact sheet. One Raw Fury page instead says up to three friends, which conflicts with the Steam figure, so plan around the smaller party until launch confirms the lobby cap. The full timeline lives on our release date page.

Is there a Mac version?
The full Steam release lists both Windows and macOS, but the demo is Windows only. Mac players skip the demo and start with the full game on October 13, 2026.

Is cooking really the main mechanic?
Yes. Developer Behold Studios built the game as a first person survival dungeon crawler where cooking opens the way forward, and the studio also calls the concept a survival metroidvania. Dishes gate paths and encounters, the campfire anchors every run, and crafting supports the loop rather than replacing it.
