Aloft celebrates Earth Day and reaches 200,000 Sky Sailors! 🌍

Ahoy Sky Sailors,

Today we celebrate something close to the hearts of everyone at Astrolabe — Earth Day!

As we shared earlier, we have partnered with Cool Earth to support indigenous communities and protect rainforests. That means that today, by playing the game and watching Aloft streams, you're helping make a difference — in the skies and on the ground.

We are contributing on our side as well! We recently participated in the Earth Appreciation Steam Festival and we decided to donate 5% of our net revenue of that Festival to Cool Earth!

Last but not least, we’ve recently hit a milestone: 200,000 Sky Sailors now soar the skies, making countless worlds better in Aloft! We’re so thankful to have the Aloft community by our side throughout this journey; whether you’ve just joined the adventure or have been soaring the skies with us since the demo days.



Happy Earth Day, Sky Sailors. 💚

Join the celebration by tuning in to the Cool Earth streams and showing your support. Let's lift each other — and the Earth — up!

See you in the clouds!
