Is The Alters on Game Pass?

Is The Alters coming to Game Pass? The Alters is an upcoming sci-fi game combining third-person exploration and strategic base building, all in a bid to survive as an astronaut stranded on a hostile planet.


There's not long to go until The Alters release date arrives and we're able to take on the many roles of Jan. Using a nifty cloning device, Jan is able to create versions of himself to aid in his perilous journey to escape the planet, versions that answer the all important, what if question. If this all sounds right up your street, here's whether you'll be able to play The Alters on Game Pass.

First of all, we’re thrilled to announce that over 270,000 people have played the demo version! We’re incredibly happy with the positive feedback we've received so far, the hype is real, and we couldn’t be more grateful for your support.



This weekend is your last chance to play the demo, as it will no longer be available to download starting May 18th. We can't wait to hear your thoughts after the full release, we've made significant improvements in every aspect of the game since the first demo!

To make things even more fun, this week we launched an AI app that lets you become Jan Dolski! Just upload a selfie and you'll see yourself as a part of Jan's crew. Check it out here:

And that's not all! This week we hosted another edition of our Hands-On event, which was focused on The Alters. People from around the world had a chance to play the game, and their positive feedback has given us even more power in our Quantum Computer to deliver a polished product at launch.

The Alters - Expedition Log 4

Hi everyone!

As we are participating in Gamescom Latam in Brazil this year, we thought that's a perfect opportunity to tease another episode of the Expedition Logs!

Check out new episode on YouTube titled: "You probably won’t make it…"

[h3]Resources, scanning the surface and extraction[/h3]
Expanding and running a mobile base in The Alters will not be possible without extracting the planet's rich resources. Metals, minerals, organics, and - most importantly - Rapidium, are vital materials you will encounter while scanning the planet’s surface. Yet finding them will be a tricky task, as you will often find their surroundings riddled with dangers.

[h3]Anomalies[/h3]
Anomalies are lethal obstacles that pose various threats to our protagonist. They vary both in terms of looks and risks exposure to them entails. Some of them can be seen from afar while others will require an anomaly detector or a special tool to unveil. Anomalies can pose a serious danger to the mission as they can kill our Jan Dolski through radiation, as well as distort time and space around him. Luckily, we’re not helpless against them, as in time we’ll be able to create tools to counter their threat.

[h3]Biomes and collectibles[/h3]
Multiplying types and threats of anomalies was one of the key features we worked very hard to improve during the last few months of The Alters’ development. The other one was the planet’s exploration, as we want to make biomes present in the game as interesting and filled with secrets as possible.

Stay tuned for another episodes of expedition logs!

The Alters - Expedition Log 3

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

While playing The Alters, you will quickly discover that time management is one of the game’s crucial challenges. You will be gathering resources, developing your base, and dealing with unexpected problems while trying to outrun a deadly scorching sunrise.

The gameplay is divided into specific day and night cycles with radiation levels being too high to operate outside during a large portion of time. What adds even more urgency to the entire situation, our main protagonist and his alters only have a limited amount of energy they can allocate to work before they need to rest.

This means you have to carefully plan the actions for each day on the planet’s surface and onboard the base. Of course, life will probably write its own story, as you will most assuredly face many obstacles along the way, as well as be required to diffuse tensions between your alters on the spot. Will you be up for the challenge?

There are still things we want to show you about The Alters so see you in the next episode of The Alters - Expedition Logs.
