The questions people are actually asking about Dear Passengers, answered from confirmed information only — with the unknowns left honestly unknown.
Dear Passengers was revealed in July 2026 with a trailer, a Steam page and a 2026 window — and not much else nailed down. This FAQ sticks to what FLEXUS has actually confirmed, and says plainly where a detail has not been announced instead of guessing. The questions below are grouped into what the game is, when and where you can play it, and how co-op works, so you can jump straight to whatever brought you here.
Dear Passengers puts a whole crew inside one cramped, collapsing cabin.
About the game
What is Dear Passengers?
Dear Passengers is a chaotic physics-based co-op game where you and your friends crew the world's worst airline. One player flies the plane while the rest run the cabin — serving passengers, securing cargo and dealing with everything that goes wrong on a flight that was never going to be smooth. It is being built by the Ukrainian studio FLEXUS as their first PC release.
Who is making Dear Passengers?
The developer and publisher is FLEXUS, a studio based in Kyiv, Ukraine, founded in 2020. They built a following on mobile with idle games such as Train Miner, Tower Craft, Mow My Lawn and Dye Hard, together passing 300 million downloads. Dear Passengers is their first game built for PC rather than phones.
Is Dear Passengers like Overcooked or Lethal Company?
Press coverage keeps comparing it to Peak, R.E.P.O., Overcooked, Moving Out and Lethal Company, and labels it 'friendslop' — chaotic co-op built for playing with friends. The airline setting and the pilot-versus-cabin split are its own twist, but if you enjoy frantic co-op where one mistake spirals into disaster, it sits in that family.
What can go wrong on a flight?
Plenty. Confirmed hazards include bird strikes that can blow out an engine, bad weather, turbulence and air pockets that fling passengers and luggage around the cabin, and illegal cargo such as crocodiles escaping their crates in the hold. Some fixes even send crew outside the aircraft mid-flight, which is exactly as reckless as it sounds.
Release & platforms
When does Dear Passengers come out?
FLEXUS has given a 2026 release window for Dear Passengers on Steam, but no exact month or day has been set yet. The Steam page is live for wishlisting, which is how you get notified the moment a firm launch date, price, or demo is confirmed. Until then, 2026 is the only dating the studio has committed to publicly.
What platforms is Dear Passengers on?
Dear Passengers is confirmed for Windows PC through Steam. No Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, or other console version has been announced, and every official source so far points to a PC-only release. If that changes, the Steam page and the studio's own channels would be the first place it appears.
Is there a Dear Passengers demo or playtest?
There is no public demo or playtest available right now. The only thing you can do on the Steam page today is add Dear Passengers to your wishlist. FLEXUS has not said whether a demo or Steam Next Fest build is planned, so wishlisting is the reliable way to hear about one if it happens.
How much will Dear Passengers cost?
No price has been announced. FLEXUS has not listed a figure on the Steam page, and comparable co-op party games sit across a wide range, so any number you see quoted is a guess rather than an official price. The launch price should appear on the Steam listing closer to release.
Playing together
Co-op is the whole point here. The airline is designed to be crewed by a group: one player flies while the others work the cabin, and the fun comes from how badly those jobs collide when the plane starts misbehaving. You can also play solo, but expect a slower, more deliberate game — one person cannot fly the plane and calm the passengers at the same time. For the full breakdown of who does what, read the roles and co-op guide.
How many players is Dear Passengers?
It supports single-player, multiplayer, co-op and online co-op, with one player piloting and the others working the cabin. FLEXUS has not published a maximum crew size, so any specific player count floating around is not confirmed. What is clear is that the game is built around a small crew splitting cockpit and cabin duties on the same flight.
Pre-flight cargo choices decide how dangerous a Dear Passengers run gets.
