A Game About Digging a Hole Is the Next Viral PC Hit Burrowing onto PS5 Soon

Earlier this year, those paying attention will have likely seen an unusual game cropping up on social media, all about digging a hole and seemingly nothing more.

Well, that game is A Game About Digging a Hole, and after its huge success on PC, it's now coming to consoles.

The viral hit indie title is tunnelling through to PS5 on 9th December 2025:

The game is very much a what-it-says-on-the-tin situation; it's all about digging a hole in pursuit of unearthing treasures in the ground outside your new home.

As you dig you find resources, which can be sold, and the cash you earn can be spent on upgrades to make the digging faster and easier.

It's a very simple feedback loop, and when you add on top a layer of mystery — just what will you find if you dig deep enough? — it makes for a short-lived but compelling experience.

The game only costs £4.29 on Steam, and we expect it'll be around the same on PS Store.
