The Best Stellaris DLC



Paradox's take on the space 4X genre is slowly growing its DLC offering. It'll still take a few years to grow to the size of the studio's other games like Europa Universalis IV and Crusader Kings II, but after three years there is enough of it that frugal gamers may still need some help picking through the options.

We've sent our science ships to scan each add-on for value and return with their results, so come check out our breakdown of all of the add-ons and expansions released to date, what they're good for, and whether they're worth picking up.

The Best Stellaris DLC

In order from most essential to least...

    Utopia*
    Federations*
    Apocalypse*
    Leviathans
    Synthetic Dawn (Bump this one up if you really like the idea of playing killer robots)
    MegaCorps

* = All of these are $20-tiered expansions which feels a little steep considering the feature sets are quite lean. There's an argument to be made that you're subsidising all of the work that's gone into the free patch, but as a 'Value for Money' PSA, might be worth waiting until these are on sale.
