The co-op Trash Day game launched on October 13, 2026, on Steam, developed by Off by One Games, a studio formed by former Rocket League team members. With Very Positive ratings on Steam (around 98% positive reviews), the title offers up to 6 players in a physics-based trash-scavenging adventure with raccoons.
What happened?
In the Trash Day game, players control raccoons escaping animal control, stealing a wagon, and loading it with valuable trash across six areas to reach Raccoon Paradise. Physics is central: the wagon becomes harder to control as it accumulates items, requiring cooperation to push, flip, and overcome obstacles like traffic, traps, and rivers.
The studio notes that the demo had only one area; the full game adds five more, a new soundtrack with 22 songs, and tools like ropes and planks. Solo play is possible, but the game warns that the wagon is challenging for a single raccoon. It is 10% off until October 27.
Why does this matter?
The Trash Day game represents the return of Rocket League talent, famous for its fun and chaotic multiplayer physics, now applied to an accessible indie co-op adventure. With a low price (around $8) and focus on group fun, it appeals to fans of physics games like Gang Beasts or Overcooked, but with an original raccoon theme.
Japanese coverage from Famitsu highlights the physical chaos and charm, while initial Steam reviews are extremely positive, indicating good polish for an indie launch.
What changes in practice?
For players, the Trash Day game is an immediate option for light and funny multiplayer, ideal for friend groups. Support for Xbox and DualSense controllers, plus 16 languages, facilitates global access. As a small project, it shows that ex-AAA talent can create fresh experiences without large budgets.
