Deep Rock Galactic’s post-launch support marches on in 2024, with at least two more seasonal updates slated to come following its well-received third season.
New content drops usually make the procedurally-generated caves of Hoxxes both more dangerous and rewarding, which is why you may be wondering what the Season 5 start and end dates might be.
Deep Rock Galactic’s Season 5 follows after two seasons’ worth of battling the Rockpox disease and its corruptive influence. Below, we’ll go into all the details unveiled so far about it, including when the fifth season’s long-awaited start and end dates could occur.
Deep Rock Galactic Season 5 Start and End Dates
Developer Ghost Ship Games originally intended to keep the length of DRG seasons somewhere between 4 and 6 months, however, in late 2023 that changed.
The announcement of Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core led to Season 5’s start and end dates being pushed back.
DRG Season 5’s start date is now expected to occur at some point in June 2024, as per the roadmap shared. Its end date is likely to be slated for 2025, when Season 6 launches.

“In a perfect world, we’d continue full steam ahead on Deep Rock Galactic while developing Rogue Core at the same time. But we’ve only got so many helping hands on board, and only so many hours in the day,” the developer wrote answering the question of why it cannot work on both games simultaneously.
“Instead of trying to do a little bit of work on each game every day, we’d rather block out bigger chunks of time where we give one project our full attention. This might not be the fastest path, but we think it’s what will allow us to give you the best games we can possibly make.”
Deep Rock Galactic Season 5 Content
The full list of features and details for Season 5 will be revealed during the Ghost Ship Publishing: On The Horizon Digital event, where Søren Lundgaard (CEO) and Mikkel Martin Pedersen (CCO and Game Director) will be hosting a Q&A session to answer questions from fans.
Deep Rock Galactic Season 5’s content remains shrouded in mystery at the moment. It should bring a new theme which will act as a prelude to Rogue Core in some way.
There’s a possibility that we’ll also get some form of new gadget that lets us more efficiently eliminate Hoxxes’ many hostile bugs.
A new Performance Pass will likely be introduced, coming with its own string of rewards and a new cosmetic tree through which we can progress.
In addition, we also expect Deep Rock Galactic’s Season 5 to be accompanied by a new premium cosmetic DLC.
More details will likely be shared as we get closer to launch and we’ll be sure to update this article as soon as we know more.
That’s what we know about Deep Rock Galactic’s Season 5, its start and end dates alongside the content it introduces.
