Deep Rock Galactic Yuletide Christmas Event 2023: Start Time and Content

Deep Rock Galactic offers an immensely enjoyable cooperative first-person shooting experience. Just like other games of its kind, it continuously introduces a wealth of fresh and distinctive content throughout the year through various seasonal events. One of the most beloved events in the game is the Yuletide Christmas Seasonal event, which, as you might have guessed, is themed entirely around the Christmas season.

As we approach the end of the year, many players are eager to learn what this year's event has in store for them. If you're among those curious gamers, you've come to the right place. Below, you'll discover all the information you need about the start date, content, and features of this year's Deep Rock Galactic Yuletide Christmas Seasonal event.

When Does the Deep Rock Galactic Yuletide 2023 Event Start

Update - It's now been confirmed that The Yuletide 2023 event begins on Thursday, December 14th at 13:00 CET.

While we don't have an official start date for the 2023 Yuletide Christmas Seasonal event, we can make some reasonable assumptions based on the dates of the previous event and the fact that it's a Christmas-themed event. The previous Yuletide Christmas Seasonal event started on December 15, 2022, and ended on January 5, 2023. So, we anticipate that this year's event will fall within a similar timeframe, likely commencing in mid-December 2023 and lasting approximately 2-3 weeks, concluding in early January 2024.

All Deep Rock Galactic Yuletide 2023 Event Content

Here's a roundup of what content you can look forward to:

Yearly Performance Bonus

Complete the Yearly Performance Bonus assignment, and we’ll transfer extra Performance Points, crafting resources, credits, and infused Matrix Cores to your account. But even better than that, we’ll grant you the shiny new Snowglobe hat!

Wanted Dead: Yuletide Elves

Bad news: The nitwits at Longbeard Freight have fumbled a live load of Yuletide Elves, and these festive little imps have taken up residence in the caves of Hoxxes. These pointy-eared rascals pose a threat to DRG’s mining operations, so you’re cleared to dispatch them with extreme prejudice.

Shoot the Elves on sight, bring back the bodies as proof, and Management will grant you (and your team) a Double Mission Performance Point Bonus as a reward for your troubles.

We found a big stash of old holiday hats in an orbital storage facility! And instead of shoveling them into the incinerator, we’ve decided to hand them out to DRG employees. This extraordinary act of seasonal generosity means no pay raises next year, but we’re confident everyone will be satisfied with this agreement.

Complete the Fashion of Yuletide Past assignment, and you’ll earn all the headgear from previous Yuletide events, in case you didn’t scoop them up before.

Extra Seasonal Stocking Stuffers

We’ve got a few more Yuletide goodies to give out, too! Finish the Yuletide Elf Hunt assignment, and you’ll unlock the following:

• Pickaxe set: ‘Chillaxe’
• Bosco framework: ‘Yuletide Special’
• Elf suit armor + headwear*
