Dumpster Gang’s free demo turns friend groups into a raccoon heist crew

·

Dumpster Gang lets up to four players raid a family home and a farm as a gang of raccoons, and its free demo is out now on Steam and Xbox on PC. Some jobs are too heavy for one raccoon, so the game pushes players to work together.

The game is the first project from Coyote House Games, a new studio founded by two college friends. It is published by Curve Games, the company behind the physics co-op hit Human Fall Flat. Players scavenge dumpsters, steal junk, raid snacks and work through a to-do list of small crimes on each level.

Besides the tutorial, the demo includes a suburban family home and a farm. Curve Games has not said how many levels the full game will have. The tasks in the game are like: kidnapping a chicken, just brewing coffee or milk a cow and splash the milk on the farmer’s bed.

The Exterminator

Cause enough chaos and the Exterminator shows up. He tries to stop the raccoons from finishing their tasks and catches anyone he can get his hands on. Caught raccoons have to be freed by their teammates.

Teamwork is key

Some tasks in the demo need more than one raccoon. Heavy doors won’t open for a single player, and bulky objects have to be dragged through the level as a group. Solo play is supported too, but groups should plan on using voice chat.

The raccoons look great and are seriously cute, and the whole thing is a lot of fun with friends.

Official trailer released alongside the demo and the PC release date announcement

The full game launches on December 3, 2026, on PC via Steam, Xbox on PC and PC Game Pass. Versions for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2, including Xbox Game Pass, follow in March 2027.
