What is Dear Passengers?

Dear Passengers is an upcoming physics-driven co-op game where you and your friends run flights for an airline that should have been grounded years ago. The plane is falling apart, the cargo is barely legal, and passenger safety… technically appears on a checklist somewhere.

One of you takes the cockpit and actually flies the thing. Everyone else becomes cabin crew: serving meals, calming passengers down — or helping them out through the hatch — putting out fires, and wrestling whatever just escaped from the cargo hold. In the announcement trailer that includes a bird strike, an exploding engine, and a crate of very free crocodiles.

Dear Passengers comes from FLEXUS, a Kyiv-based studio of 70+ people making its first PC game after years of mobile hits. Within a day of the July 14, 2026 announcement, the game had passed 500,000 Steam wishlists, and The Game Awards' Instagram post about it collected over 100,000 likes. If you loved the friendslop chaos of Peak or R.E.P.O., this is that energy at 30,000 feet.

How Dear Passengers plays

In the event of an emergency, there will be another emergency. Please review this safety card.

1

Fly the plane

One crew member takes the cockpit. Weather turns, air pockets drop the floor out from under you, and birds have opinions about your engines. Keep it level while the cabin screams.

2

Work the cabin

Everyone else serves meals, pours drinks, soothes nerves and puts out literal fires. Uncooperative passenger? The hatch is right there. Physics will handle the rest.

3

Pick your manifest

Before takeoff you choose which passengers and cargo to accept. Sketchier manifests pay better — and make the flight far worse. Risk and reward, stapled to a crate of crocodiles.

4

Contain the chaos

Small problems become big problems fast. Ragdoll physics, escaped animals, storms, turbulence, proximity chat — every flight in Dear Passengers writes its own incident report.

Dear Passengers FAQ

Everything confirmed so far — no rumors in the overhead bins.

When is the Dear Passengers release date?

Dear Passengers is scheduled for 2026 on Steam. FLEXUS announced the game on July 14, 2026 and hasn't confirmed an exact day yet. A demo build is planned around Gamescom, with a public Steam demo to follow — wishlisting is the fastest way to get notified.

What platforms will it be on?

Windows PC via Steam is the only confirmed platform. Every official source — the Steam page and the announcement trailer — mentions PC only. No Xbox, PlayStation or Switch versions have been announced.

Who is the developer?

FLEXUS, a Kyiv-based studio founded in 2020 that grew to 70+ people making mobile games downloaded hundreds of millions of times. Dear Passengers is their first PC title, and they're self-publishing it.

How many players is co-op?

Steam lists single-player plus online co-op. The loop is one pilot in the cockpit with the rest of the crew in the cabin; FLEXUS hasn't officially confirmed a maximum crew size yet. We'll update this page when they do.

Is there a demo I can play?

Not yet. The founders say a demo is being prepared for Gamescom, with a public demo afterwards. There's no playable build as of July 2026.

How much will it cost?

No price has been announced. The Steam page is currently "Coming Soon" with wishlisting enabled.

What languages are supported?

English, Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Turkish, Ukrainian and Japanese — all with full interface and audio support, according to the Steam page.

Why do people call it "friendslop"?

"Friendslop" is the affectionate label for physics-heavy co-op games engineered for laughing with friends — Peak, R.E.P.O. and company. Dear Passengers is widely tipped as the genre's next breakout: it crossed 500,000 wishlists within a day of its announcement.

Is this the official Dear Passengers website?

No — this is an unofficial fan page. FLEXUS hasn't published a standalone official website; the closest thing is the official Steam page, which also links to the developer's Discord.
