How much will Dumpster Gang cost?
No price has been published, and no business model has been announced. One cost question does have an answer: a PC Game Pass subscription includes it from day one.
What the store record shows
Reading the Steam record for appid 2870790 directly, there is no price block on it at all. Not a placeholder, not a currency, nothing. That is the normal state for a game that is months out and has no firm date, and it is the reason no site can honestly quote you a figure right now. It says nothing about whether a price exists internally.
The Microsoft Store listing is in the same position: it exists, it is the PC listing, and it has no purchase price attached.
The Game Pass answer
The announcement is explicit that Dumpster Gang will be available day one as part of PC Game Pass. For a subscriber that settles the cost question: the game arrives inside a subscription you already pay for, on the day it launches, with no separate purchase. Worth stating plainly, since it often gets reported as the game being free — Game Pass is a paid subscription.
Worth being precise about which subscription. This is the PC tier. The Ultimate tier includes PC, so that works too. A console-only Game Pass subscription does not help here, because no console version has been announced in the first place.
What a price would tell you
When a price does appear it will be informative beyond the number itself. Storefronts usually attach pricing as a release date firms up, so a price landing on the Steam page is a reasonable early signal that a specific December date is close.
Until then, the honest answer to what it costs is that nobody outside the studio knows, including this site.

Cost questions
+How much will Dumpster Gang cost?
No price has been published. The Steam store record contains no price information of any kind, which is what an unreleased, undated game normally looks like on a storefront. That means no figure is public — not that the studio has not decided one.
+Is Dumpster Gang free?
No business model has been announced at all — neither a price nor free-to-play. What is confirmed is that PC Game Pass subscribers get it on day one, and Game Pass is itself a paid subscription, so "free" is not the right word for that either.
+Do I need to buy it if I have Game Pass?
No. Day-one Game Pass means it is included in the PC tier of the subscription when it launches. If you later want to keep it outside the subscription, storefronts usually offer members a discount to buy, but nothing about that has been announced for this game.
+Will there be a deluxe edition or a preorder bonus?
Nothing has been announced. There is no edition list, no preorder and no season pass mentioned anywhere in the reveal materials.
