Steel Giants DLC: tackling colossal ships

On 23 September 2025, Ship Graveyard Simulator 2 for PS5 adds two major expansions: Steel Giants and Submarines. Players will dismantle massive ships, including icebreakers and oil tankers, and explore radioactive submarine wrecks. With new contracts, mechanics, and treasures, the scrapyard experience grows bigger and more dangerous than ever.

The Steel Giants DLC introduces four of the largest wrecks yet: a container ship, a gas carrier, a nuclear icebreaker, and a massive oil tanker. Each comes with unique challenges, requiring careful planning and precision. Players must deal with new mechanics such as steam pipes, which need to be safely shut off before dismantling can continue.

In addition to the giant ships, the DLC brings fresh contracts, hidden treasures, and achievements. These additions ensure that every dismantling job is more than just a task. It’s a puzzle demanding strategy, patience, and attention to detail.

Submarines DLC: dismantling the deep

The Submarines DLC shifts the focus beneath the waves, giving players access to wrecked submarines filled with danger and mystery. Unlike surface ships, these vessels allow entry from multiple angles, offering creative freedom in how players choose to break them down. Floors, walls, and connectors can be removed in new ways, making each job feel different.

This expansion also introduces gameplay mechanics involving radioactive materials, heightening both the risk and realism of the simulator. With added achievements and collectables to discover, dismantling submarines offers players an entirely fresh challenge compared to traditional shipbreaking.

Proven success leading into new expansions

Originally developed by Polish studio Games Incubator, Ship Graveyard Simulator 2 launched on PC before being ported to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch by Ultimate Games S.A. On Steam, the game maintains a strong reputation with a 78% positive rating based on nearly 3,000 reviews.

The console version on PS5 already features the Warships DLC, which adds massive military vessels. The arrival of Steel Giants and Submarines promises to elevate the experience further, offering players new ways to test their skills in one of the world’s most dangerous jobs.
