Find & Report Illegal Goods in Docked’s New “Contraband” DLC, Out Now

Track down illicit cargo with the X-ray tool and a new forklift while restoring Port Wake’s reputation on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S today

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. July 28, 2026 – It’s time to clock back in! Today, Saber Interactive released “Contraband,” the second major DLC for Docked, bringing new jobs, a new mission, a new vehicle, and a new game mechanic to the port simulation game on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The “Contraband” DLC is free to download now for owners of the “New Horizons” expansion pack or the Deluxe Edition of Docked.

Just when Port Wake was one step away from achieving International Port status, a strange container lands the family business in the middle of a controversy that threatens the harbor’s reputation. The port needs you to act as an inspector, using your X-ray tool to search and scan cargo to find any contraband and report it to the authorities. With a new mission and 12 new jobs to take on, it’s up to you to move palettes to aid the investigation, root out any fishy business, and restore the dock’s reputation to its former glory.

Luckily, you’ve just become forklift certified! The new vehicle is here to help you swiftly lift and move palettes for scanning. Unlike most of the other heavy machinery at your disposal, the forklift is small, quick, and mobile, ideal for the urgent task at hand. The forklift can also work in tandem with the Straddle Carrier, Reach Stacker, MHC Crane, RTG crane, STS crane, and RMG crane, making it the perfect addition to your fleet.

Docked‘s “Contraband” DLC is available now on PC and consoles as part of the game’s Deluxe Edition or the “New Horizons” expansion pack, which also features the “Deep Waters” DLC.

Players will also be able to pick up a physical version of the game when Docked‘s Deluxe Edition hits store shelves for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X on October 22.
