The fungus has taken over the moon. The cleanup crew is robotic, underpaid, and heavily armed. Mycopunk, the co-op sci-fi shooter developed by Pigeons at Play and published by Devolver Digital, launched its full 1.0 version on PC (Steam) and PS5 on October 20.
First released in Early Access in July 2025, Mycopunk reached 1.0 after a series of major updates shaped by player feedback. The full launch also marks the game’s debut on PS5, bringing it to console players for the first time.
A Cleanup Crew Dropped Onto a Fungus-Covered Moon
Mycopunk blends squad-based shooting action with mischievous humor and a distinctive sci-fi world. When a mysterious fungus spreads across the moon of New Atlas, players are sent in as a cleanup crew to wipe it out.
According to the Steam page, players are robot cleaners employed by the corporation SAXON. Build a team, gear up, and drop onto the moon’s surface to eliminate the fungal threat. Co-op supports up to four players.
Grid Upgrades and Build Synergies
Weapon customization is at the heart of combat. Choose from a range of futuristic weapons, then use a grid-based upgrade system to enhance their performance and craft a weapon all your own. Teammates can also combine abilities and loadouts to create different synergy builds.
Speed matters: enemies can pick up fragments dropped by other enemies and grow bigger and stronger, so it pays to clear swarms quickly.
Between missions, players return to the orbital transport H.U.B. to prepare for the next operation. The developer says it’s packed with minigames, activities, and hidden secrets.
The 1.0 Update: New Guns, Characters, and Hats
The full release adds new guns, grenades, mods, maps, and characters. Alongside the new content, the developer also highlights an important addition: characters can now wear hats.
In Korea, Mycopunk is priced at ₩16,500. On PS5, the game is available at no extra cost from day one for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers.
Who This Is For
Strong fit for: friend groups looking for a four-player co-op shooter in the vein of Deep Rock Galactic; players who love tinkering with weapon builds; fans of Devolver’s offbeat humor; PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers, who can jump in at no extra cost.
Cautious fit for: solo players, since the game is built around team play; players who need confirmed language support.
Less ideal for: those looking for a story-driven single-player shooter.
What to Watch For
With the PS5 launch arriving via PS Plus, Mycopunk could see a big influx of new players. How well the community grows across platforms, whether crossplay is supported, and what post-1.0 content looks like will determine its long-term momentum.
The Takeaway
Mycopunk arrives at 1.0 as a more complete version of what made its Early Access stand out: robot janitors, a fungus-choked moon, grid-based weapon tinkering, enemies that bulk up on their fallen friends’ fragments, and a goofy orbital hub to unwind in between runs. With new guns, maps, characters, and yes, hats, plus a day-one spot on PS Plus, it’s a strong moment for one of Devolver’s more chaotic co-op offerings.
Available now on Steam and PS5 (included with PS Plus Extra/Premium).
