PvPvE Extraction Shooter 'SAND: Raiders of Sophie' Launches June 10 on Steam

Publisher tinyBuild announced during the Summer Game Fest 2026 livestream on June 6 that the PvPvE extraction shooter 'SAND: Raiders of Sophie' will release on June 10 for PC via Steam. Developed by Hologryph and TowerHaus, the game is set on a procedurally generated desert planet where civilization has collapsed. Players control a giant mobile base called the Trampler, which functions as transportation, storage, shelter, and weapon. The game supports solo or team play, with players looting other players and NPCs while extracting valuable resources. A server slam playtest began on June 6 and runs until the evening of June 7 European time; participants can join via the Steam store page and will receive a special weapon skin for the full game. The game also features a battle royale mode called Storm Dive Mode, where the safe zone shrinks and players fight to be the last survivor. The Trampler can be customized with different structures, engines, and weapons. The game supports Japanese display.
