DPS: Desktop Pension Squad Wiki

DPS: Desktop Pension Squad came out in Early Access on Steam on 11 November 2026. It is free to play, made by detailgames and published by storytaco.

Five: Minos, Diana and Mori & Gula from the start, and Chopper and Geumeum with their Character Pack DLCs; the Geumeum pack is not listed on the Steam store as of 12 November 2026. Your Formation starts with one hero, and two Engraving nodes raise it to three.

Normal, Torment, Nightmare and Hell. Each has four chapters of ten stages, and stage x-10 of each chapter is a boss fight that needs a map.

Stage x-10 needs one map: Scout's Map on Normal, Commander's Map on Torment, High Commander's Map on Nightmare and Charred Map on Hell. A win uses it up; a loss keeps it. The first clear of stage x-9 gives one, and Boss Chests can hold more.

Yes. The trade ship sends Legendary and higher gear and socket items, and the four boss maps, to your Steam Inventory, where you can sell them on the Steam Community Market. Trade is locked for the first 3 days of a new account.

No. Every pet you have unlocked adds its bonus all the time, equipped or not.

Yes. Offline time pays EXP to your heroes and Souls, based on your stage, for up to 8 hours. Under 288 seconds away pays nothing. EXP a hero cannot take because of the stage's level cap turns into Souls. Pets and Engraving can raise the base amounts shown on the chapter pages.

The Workshop fuses nine items of the same rarity into one random item. Gear, accessories and socket items come out at the same rarity or higher; ores come out one to three steps further along the chain Ironstone, Forgestone, Manastone, then on to the next tier. The Workshop page lists the chances. Auto Fuse, which fuses again and again by the rules you set, needs the Convenience Pack.
