From Press Release:
SEATTLE — April 21, 2026 — Drill Core, the roguelite mining strategy simulator from developer Hungry Couch and publisher tinyBuild, aims for record profits with the upcoming ‘The Machine World DLC,’ launching on PC via Steam on Tuesday, April 28, 2026. New Platform Managers can join the crew as Drill Core arrives on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X|S the same day.
Drill Core Inc. invites new and returning employees alike to plunge into the ( not at all dangerous) unforeseen depths of the Tech Biome. Scavenge mechanical parts scattered throughout while encountering new foes, events, and bosses.
Mine during the day to secure resources, then leverage new drone turrets and buildings to fortify defenses before facing enemies at night. All employees will be provided with a banger soundtrack to maintain their focus on propelling Drill Core Inc. to record profits!
Recruit five new specialists with distinct gameplay-enhancing abilities, and ensure their safety along the way — they can only be recruited once! Craft updated builds through the Laboratory upgrade branch, and experiment with newly available permanent upgrades. Alter each run with the Distortions mechanic, sell it for valuable resources, or take on greater challenges with 10 new difficulty levels.
As a weary highly-motivated Platform Manager at Drill Core Inc., lead miners, guards, and carriers on perilous missions to extract valuable materials. Manage resources effectively to keep operations running smoothly, deploy turrets, and research cutting-edge innovations to overcome the obstacles that lurk within the core
“Drill Core Inc. is nothing without its dedicated Platform Managers, and we’re excited to welcome new hires across console platforms. After all, profits must grow!” said Konstantin Burov, Head of Hungry Couch Games. “For existing Platform Managers on PC, ‘The Machine World DLC’ provides new layers to uncover, challenges, and a multitude of quality of life improvements.”
Drill Core reaches the center in ‘The Machine World DLC’ available on PC via Steam on Tuesday, April 28, 2026. New Platform Managers descend onto PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X|S versions on the same day.
