Don't Starve Together's Summer Intermission Brings Swimsuits, Water Balloons, and a Mobile Release

Klei Entertainment has published a summer intermission announcement for Don't Starve Together under the banner "No Day at the Beach," bridging the gap before the next substantial content update.

What changed

  • Streaming Drops: The "Bugburst Waterballoon" has been added to the Chitinous Collection, obtainable via streaming drops.
  • Free Login Reward: Logging into the game during the limited-time window grants a "Beach Day Chest," which contains a random selection of five swimsuits from the Seaside Collection. The collection spans three different styles of aquatic attire.
  • Mobile release: Playdigious has released Don't Starve Together: Pocket Edition on Android and iOS. The announcement links to Playdigious's site for details.

What's next

Klei notes the development team is "deep into the next update," described as the conclusion of the shadow arc. A beta is not yet ready, though the studio characterizes it as "not too far away."

For players, the immediate action is straightforward: log in during the limited window to secure the Beach Day Chest before the offer lapses.

A short intermission has arrived for Don't Starve Together under the banner No Day at the Beach, bridging the gap before the team's next major update.

What changed

  • Free Login Reward: Players who log in during the limited-time window receive the "Beach Day Chest," containing a random selection of five swimsuits from the new Seaside Collection, which comes in three distinct styles.
  • Streaming Drops: The "Bugburst Waterballoon" has been added to the Chitinous Collection and is obtainable through stream drops.
  • Mobile Release: Playdigious has released Don't Starve Together: Pocket Edition on Android and iOS. Klei links to Playdigious's site for details.

For players, the login reward offers a low-friction way to expand a wardrobe while the studio finishes what sounds like a significant story chapter.
