Your best friend has vanished down a suspiciously large hole. There are traps, crumbling ledges, and one very unforgiving force waiting below: gravity. Publisher Daedalic Entertainment and Leverkusen-based indie studio Quad Head have officially announced that their breakout co-op cave adventure Pratfall is making the leap from PC to consoles — landing on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 in early 2027. Pre-orders are scheduled to open late 2026.
What Is Pratfall? — Dig, Fall, Rescue, Repeat
Launched on Steam back in April 2026, Pratfall quickly won over players with its simple, irresistible premise: every dog owner would dive into the unknown for their best friend. Here, you do exactly that — and it’s chaotic, physics-heavy, and utterly hilarious.
- Explore a massive, procedurally generated cave system — no two runs are identical across three distinct biomes
- Dig, blast, and build your own path using pickaxes, drills, bombs, ziplines, and more
- Team up — play solo or gather up to 4 players in smooth online co-op; catch friends as they fall, revive them when they don’t stick the landing… or just toss them into hazards if you’re feeling chaotic
- Find all the missing dogs — it turns out yours isn’t the only one who vanished; rescue pups, earn rewards, and unlock cosmetic treats from the park’s gumball machines
- Voice proximity chat — hear your teammates echo as they drift apart into the dark; panic sounds even better when it’s distant
- Destructible terrain — walls, floors, and bridges can be broken, blown up, or mined away; the world is as fragile as your balance
From Steam Hit to Full Console Launch
Originally self-published by Quad Head on PC, Pratfall caught Daedalic’s eye with its infectious blend of approachable fun and genuine challenge. The result? A publishing partnership that brings the game to every major console platform. For Quad Head — a small team based in Leverkusen, Germany — this marks their biggest milestone yet, turning a beloved indie hit into a cross-platform favourite.

Why It Works — Gravity Is the Real Villain
Pratfall’s genius lies in its refusal to let you feel safe. Ledges crumble, jumps miss, and one mistimed step can send you tumbling through multiple screens of dark cavern. Yet it never feels unfair — just gloriously funny. You’ll laugh at your own clumsiness, cheer when a teammate catches you, and groan when someone’s explosive enthusiasm takes out the floor beneath everyone. It’s co-op designed to bring you closer — mostly so you can grab each other before plummeting.
Ready to Jump?
PC players can already grab Pratfall right now on Steam. Console keepers — mark your calendars: pre-orders open late this year, and the descent begins early 2027. Whether you’re rescuing your pup or just rescuing your friends from themselves, this is one cave expedition you won’t want to miss.
