Early AccessFree demo
Dirt Town Demo launched on 13 Nov, 2026 as a free standalone build featuring a compact mission map, four store objectives, and three core machines plus one secret vehicle.
Early Access
Early Access is scheduled for 4 Dec, 2026 and is not yet open for purchase.
No dollar or regional price number is published yet. Early Access is priced lower than the eventual full release, and Early Access buyers retain the full game at no extra cost.
No fixed duration is set for the Early Access period; Skyturns notes that the core terrain physics are ready and they want players in the sandbox early. Snow is the first addition named on the roadmap, followed by broader plans for more maps, machines, and environments spanning forestry, road building, mining, racing, and mudding. The initial Early Access state centres on a medium mining and road-building map with a wheel loader, hauler, dozer, excavator, and dirt bikes.

Auto-level grading with sticks, tow chains, exiting on foot, rock drilling, tree and brush crushing, and physical attachment hooking form the six Early Access tool features, none of which appear on the demo feature list.
Four primary objectives headline the demo alongside the in-game Sand haul & more panel. Early Access adds five sandbox side missions covering dirt bike track racing, cliff truck jumps, gravel crushing, buying a compactor, and swamp drainage.

The full release supports online co-op for up to four players with Multi-player, Co-op, Online Co-op, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing tags, whereas the demo is single-player only.
Roadmap priorities and edition differences
Whereas the free demo takes place on a small single-player mission map built around a 40-tonne sand haul, the initial Early Access build opens a medium-sized mining and road-construction map designed for solo or four-player co-op crews.
Snow is the first post-launch weather and surface addition named for Early Access. Longer-term goals for the full version include expanding into forestry, dedicated mining benches, road engineering, off-road racing, and deep mudding.
Although no numeric price has been announced yet, Skyturns states that Early Access will launch at a lower price point than the finished 1.0 release and that early buyers keep the full version without paying again.
Moving from the demo to Early Access upgrades the weather and soil simulation: clay joins sand and gravel, rainfall dynamically creates creeks and puddles, and swamp drainage unlocks new resource pockets.
