Sniper Dan

Sniper Dan is a family-friendly 3D hidden object game by Denki. Instead of hunting enemies, Dan searches densely packed scenes for everyday problems and fixes them with a precise shot – for example broken machines, loose parts or other harmless mishaps.

The core combines observation, small puzzles and precise aiming. Clues lead to the problem in question, then the scene is searched through the scope and the right solution is triggered.

Sniper Dan was released on Sep 17, 2026. Denki and PQube published the game for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch; Nintendo also lists a native Nintendo Switch 2 version with the same release date.

The digital standard edition is available across platforms alongside a Hotshot Edition or the separately sold Hotshot DLC with cosmetic content.

Sniper Dan is available for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. The Xbox version supports Smart Delivery and Xbox Play Anywhere. On PS5, among other features, Remote Play and DualSense vibration and trigger effects are supported; Nintendo lists TV, tabletop and handheld modes and touchscreen support for the Switch version.

Every job follows the same basic principle: understand the problem from the clues, search the environment and hit the right spot. The rifle is therefore more a tool than a weapon. Instead of combat, the focus is on observation, pattern recognition and timing.

Jobs can have dynamic solutions, so the same task does not always play out exactly the same way. Alongside regular jobs there are answering machine jobs, emergencies, boss jobs and special challenges.

The Hotshot DLC adds 18 cosmetic items to the game, covering Dan's outfit, his office and rifle charms. According to Nintendo, no new gameplay content is included. The Hotshot Edition bundles the base game with this DLC.

On PC, Sniper Dan requires at least 8 GB RAM, a GeForce GTX 750 or Radeon HD 7870 and 1 GB of free storage. Recommended are also 8 GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 970 or Radeon R9 270X. Steam additionally notes the 64-bit requirement.

According to the official product description, Sniper Dan includes more than 160 jobs across six vibrant 3D locations. These include villages, parks, farms, airports and city areas, among others. The scenes hide more than 100 secrets, over 200 small environmental stories and numerous photo subjects.

Successful jobs earn money and reputation. Between missions you can upgrade and customize the precision rifle; costumes and collectibles can also be unlocked and Dan's office decorated. The office hub thus forms the permanent progression layer outside the individual jobs.

Alongside the main missions, Sniper Dan offers bonus games and additional modes. Officially named are, among others, Time Attack, Ammo Hunt and a photo mode, or Snapshot Mode. In addition, there are three mini-games: Bowling, Tennis and Air Hockey.
