Hades' Star: DARK NEBULA is coming soon to Steam and Steam Deck!

Over the past 2 years, we've been hard at work strengthening the foundation of Hades' Star, so that the game can remain popular and viable for many more years in the future. The result of this effort is called Hades' Star: DARK NEBULA, a massive update to the game that is coming soon to Steam.

There are multiple posts at blog.hadesstar.com, describing the motivations, design goals and development process that went on during these years to give the update its final shape. You can review those if you want to dig deeper. However, most players will want to see how their daily gameplay will change, and what to do to keep progressing in the game at an optimal rate. For that purpose, we've prepared the following upgrade guide:

Hades' Star: DARK NEBULA on Steam Deck


The Steam Deck is a wonderful device that is perfect for games like Hades' Star. We have experimented a lot with it, and have created a completely new version of the game to suit the hardware. We found early on that the Steam Deck does not offer a great touch experience, so instead we've focused on a gamepad-exclusive interface. We can't wait to show you soon how well the game works on the device.



Hades' Star: DARK NEBULA is currently scheduled for release on October 30, as an update to the current Hades' Star game on PC and Mac. Unforeseen issues may push this date back. The custom, Linux-native Steam Deck build will launch along with this update, and we aim to have it verified as fully compatible at launch or shortly after.

Thank you for supporting Hades' Star, and hope to see you in game!
