Team17 Announces 4-Player Co-op Junk Tower Builder 'What Goes Up'

Publisher Team17 announced on August 28 that Bossa Games is developing 'What Goes Up', a physics-based cooperative building game. It is scheduled for release later this year on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and will also be available on PC and Xbox Game Pass. The trailer premiered during the 'XBOX @ gamescom Broadcast 2026' Day 2 stream on August 27. Players work as employees of the waste disposal company 'Galactic Refuse', dispatched to planets littered with garbage from Earth. The objective is to stack junk into designated structures within a time limit, using tools like a gravity gun, jetpack, and bounce pad. The game supports solo play and online co-op for up to four players. Hazards include lava rivers, high voltage, meteor showers, and incompetent colleagues, but fallen workers can be revived via a 3D printer. Bossa Games, formerly Bossa Studios, previously created physics-based titles like 'Surgeon Simulator' and 'I Am Bread'. The store page lists Japanese language support as planned in-game.
