What Moon Sweepers Is and Where to Start
Moon Sweepers is DragDrop Games' lunar cleaning, exploration and automation game: your job is to clear Dust from the Moon and sell it to fund better equipment. Start with the paid Windows game on Steam, then take the free Toothbrush from the starting station's supply wall.
Identify the Game Before You Buy
Look for DragDrop Games as both the developer and publisher on the Steam product page. Moon Sweepers was released on October 23, 2026, and the starting route covered here is its Windows PC release through Steam. Its gameplay combines cleaning, exploration, automation and base building, with your growing operation serving the larger goal of clearing the Moon.
Check Your Windows PC
Compare your computer with the minimum PC requirements before buying. The minimum specification calls for 64-bit Windows 10, an Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 processor, and 8 GB RAM. The graphics requirement names an NVIDIA GTX 1650 or AMD RX 570, alongside DirectX 11.
The minimum requirements also include a broadband internet connection and 2 GB of available storage. Check those alongside your processor, memory and graphics hardware when deciding whether to install. If you are arranging a session with friends, compare everyone's setup with the requirements before settling on a time to play.
Start Playing Through Steam
The Steam listing offers the paid full Windows game. It does not provide a separate free demo or browser-play option, so use the full game's product page as your starting point. Check the purchase details shown there before continuing, then follow the route below to reach your starting equipment.
- Open Moon Sweepers on Steam to reach the official product page for the paid Windows release from DragDrop Games.
- Purchase Moon Sweepers through that Steam page to get access to the full Windows game. Review the displayed purchase details before completing the transaction.
- Install the Windows game through Steam so you can begin playing. Use this route after checking that your computer meets the listed requirements.
- Take the free Toothbrush from the starting station's supply wall once you are in the game. This gives you the cleaning tool you begin with.
Understand the Cleanup Goal
Your overall objective is to clean the Moon, starting with a Toothbrush and expanding your equipment as you earn. The lunar Dust you collect fills your storage, and you deliver it to a depot and launch shipments to get paid. Those earnings buy new cleaning tools and increased carrying capacity, while further progression opens cleaning vehicles and automated machinery.
Make an early delivery your immediate goal so you can get comfortable with collecting, transporting and selling Dust. Once that cycle makes sense, pay attention to the part of the job that keeps interrupting you. That gives your next equipment purchase a purpose and helps you decide what to learn before expanding the operation.
Choose Solo Play or an Online Crew
Moon Sweepers supports single-player and online co-op for up to 16 players. Start alone if you want to learn the cleaning and delivery cycle at your own pace, or choose co-op if working with friends is the main attraction. Choose the approach that suits how you want to spend the session, and give yourself room to learn the basic job.
Steam lists full controller support, Steam Cloud and Steam Achievements among the game's features. English is included among the supported languages and has full audio support. If your input method or language options affect your decision, check those features alongside the Windows requirements before purchasing.
Choose a Useful Next Upgrade
If gathering Dust feels slow, consider improving your cleaning tool. If storage fills quickly and you keep leaving the work area to deliver it, increased carrying capacity may be more useful. Compare those needs with the distance to your depot, then choose the improvement that addresses the interruption you are actually experiencing.
Find Official Community Help
The Moon Sweepers Steam Community page gives you an official community destination to return to after starting. The developers also direct players to Discord for bug reports, suggestions, news and development updates. If something interrupts your first session, use those destinations to describe the problem and follow announcements about the game.
