Who is making Dear Passengers?
Dear Passengers is developed by FLEXUS, an indie studio building a physics-based co-op airline chaos simulator in the friendslop tradition alongside titles like R.E.P.O. and Lethal Company.
Can I play Dear Passengers solo?
Yes. The game supports single-player in addition to online co-op. Many systems — passengers, cargo, weather, and random events — still apply when flying alone, though the social chaos obviously scales up with friends.
What platforms will Dear Passengers launch on?
Steam for Windows PC is confirmed. Minimum specs call for Windows 10 64-bit, an Intel Core i5 at 2.5 GHz, 8 GB RAM, and a GTX 1060 or RX 6600 XT with DirectX 12. Console versions have not been announced.
What kind of game is Dear Passengers?
It is a co-op airline simulator focused on emergent, physics-driven chaos. You split duties between pilot and cabin crew while managing unruly passengers, suspicious cargo, turbulence, bird strikes, pirates, and whatever else FLEXUS hides in the hold.
