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.

For me it's a day 1 purchase if the story delivers.
It was a strangely enjoyable game on PC. Who hasn't day dreamed about digging a massive hole in their back garden?
The Devs must have seen the ten knock-offs on the store and decided they wanted a piece.
Have hole-heartedly dug watching this ground-breaking game on YouTube, but I've heard you have to dig-deep for the platinum.
Gets coat
Calling it! Next viral hit: "Colonoscopy: the game"
Hole-digging master already exists on PS. It's a copy of this game. It works really well and is surprisingly polished. I have the platinum.
They say Concord is down there somewhere if you dig far enough
Looks to have a lot of depth to it.
Just buy No Man's Sky and dig across the universe.
if the ps store wasnt getting absolutely crushed right now i'd be adding this to my wish list.
@Balaam_ that would actually be a (funny) cool reason why the ninjas are after the fans that got it up and running, if there was a fully working version on a random ps5 at the bottom. 🤪
Strangely enjoyed hole digging master. So will probably grab this.
Some people don't need training to dig themselves into holes...
(Is there an Xbox edition? lol)
There are so many copies of this game on PS Store already...Sony just doesn't care about improving their systems to restrict asset flip garbage scams to be sold in their story, to the point that even people here commenting already got scammed and bought such clones
I'm sure I saw Markiplier play this on his channel at some point. Odd choice for console
Every kid who played in a sand box or at a beach knows the joys of digging a hole.
I got this for my Steam Deck a bit ago when it started blowing up! You wouldn't think it would be that fun but it tickled my ADHD brain enough to 100% it, highly recommend!
But are you a dwarf?
@Czar_Khastik I hear the narrative is OK but there's a lot of holes in the plot.
