All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Now, it’s time to strike gold. We are beyond excited to officially announce that the Gold Mining Simulator 2 Public Demo will launch on June 11, 2026!

The wait is over! In less than 2 weeks, the gates to Alaska are opening for EVERYONE on Steam. The demo release on PlayStation and Xbox will come in the following months.

🌍 Open to Everyone

Unlike the previous playtests, this demo is 100% open to the public. There are no random Steam selections, no limited spots, and absolutely no NDAs. If you are ready to dig, the Alaskan wilderness is waiting for you.

🛠️ Built on Your Feedback

Thanks to the thousands of you who participated in our closed technical tests, we were able to significantly improve optimization, tweak the dirt physics, and enhance the vehicle handling. The build you will play on June 11th is smoother, more polished, and more realistic than ever before.

⛏️ What to Expect in the Demo?

Here is a quick look at what awaits you on the claim:

  • Narrated task-based gameplay to guide you step-by-step through the gold mining adventure.

  • Overhauled earthmoving with vastly improved digging and realistic dirt mechanics.

  • Advanced washplant setup featuring a free-placed building system and stronger cables.

  • Refreshed panning that allows you to grab your pan and wash dirt in any water source.

  • Miner's Sense to help you quickly locate dropped items or broken parts in the dirt.

  • A living claim featuring interactable NPCs, a fully equipped shop, and an upgradeable player house.

  • Full customization with settings to adjust the game to your PC's needs, plus localization in 20+ languages!

🔔 Don't Miss the Launch!

Make sure to Wishlist Gold Mining Simulator 2 right now so Steam sends you a notification the exact second the demo goes live.


Fire up the engines, and we will see you in the dirt on June 11th! 🚜💨
