Essential space sandbox game Astroneer drops to its lowest ever price

As wonderful as the No Man's Sky redemption was to watch, and even as the likes of Rimworld and Factorio have ventured among the stars, Astroneer remains my favorite space sandbox game of all time. It's the perfect blend of casual and complex, offering up incredibly powerful tools to shape its planets to your liking. Developer System Era Softworks has continued to expand on it since launch, most recently introducing some fantastic quality-of-life upgrades, and now you can grab it cheaper than it's ever been on Steam.

The Elevated Update

[p]Good day, Astroneers! We hope you enjoyed the EXO CARES event and managed to get your hands on a fancy new look in the meantime. Apologies that we haven’t gotten a 2025 Astroneer Roadmap out to you yet — planning and date-wrangling is still underway for the full year’s schedule. On the bright side, that means that today’s update should come to many of you as a total surprise…! [/p][p] [/p]

[h3]Stacked Platforms (Small & Medium) [/h3][p][/p][p]Going up! The advent of Stacked Platforms ushers in a new era of verticality and compact organization for Astroneers everywhere. Stacked Platforms are comprised of a top and bottom “bunk,” allowing them to hold twice as much as standard platforms in the same amount of horizontal space. The top bunk will dynamically adjust to the height of items on the bottom bunk. [/p][p]Small Stacked Platform [/p]

[h3]Print Filters (Small, Medium, and Large) [/h3][p]Astroneers have often desired some kind of sorting/filtering system for Printers. Slot any Printer into an appropriately sized Print Filter and that dream is a reality! Print Filters can be customized to only show/hide certain crafting categories. Remove entire sections from the Printers' UI with the click of a button! You can also put smaller printers on the larger filters to filter multiple printers at once![/p][p][/p][p]Small Print Filter [/p]

We are working on a new content update, while taking feedback from Glitchwalkers and incorporating it into our future plans. Just a concept, so no promises, but here is a glimpse into the scale of what we are working on for a BIG update:[/p][p]Can't wait to share more.

Announcing STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions

Today in the Nintendo Switch 2 Showcase, we got to announce the big project we have been working on in the background, STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions! Check out the slick video we dropped:

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

YOU CAN WISHLIST IT RIGHT NOW:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1454370/STARSEEKER_Astroneer_Expeditions/

STARSEEKER will take players on a multiplayer voyage of discovery, cooperative expeditions, and camaraderie. Exploring deep space on the ESS Starseeker, players will need to work together with the entire crew of the space station to complete planet-wide objectives across a multitude of star systems using cutting edge technology. STARSEEKER is a multi-platform game that is slated to release in 2026

If you would like to follow development and get your hands on BETA access as soon as it becomes available, make sure to join our discord using this link. SIGN UP FOR BETA ACCESS

To answer the biggest question that Astroneer fans: No, STARSEEKER is not a direct sequel or Astroneer 2. STARSEEKER exists within the same universe as Astroneer, but it’s a very different game. That being said, Astroneer is still in active development! We’ll have more to announce on that later this year, but we will definitely have a Summer Update and then a larger content update in the Fall, here is a lil preview of what we are cooking up:

And I will make a commitment to you all right here: No more "this might be the last year of development!!!" statements from us anytime soon. You all have spoken and Astroneer remains as popular as ever. We are doubling down and increasing the development team size on Astroneer to focus on multiple more years of support, with some REALLY ambitious plans, so stay tuned for more details.

- excited for the future,
