Satisfactory is a fantastic success story. From its early access launch in March 2019 to the announcement just two weeks ago that version 1.0 would be releasing in 2024, developer Coffee Stain Studios has continued to build an open-world sandbox game that's truly special, carving out its own segment alongside the likes of Factorio, Minecraft, and Terraria as a casual-friendly building game with an immense sense of potential. With 5.5 million copies sold, an 'overwhelmingly positive' 97% Steam rating, and its full release set for later this year, PCGamesN speaks to community manager Snutt Treptow about what the future holds.
