StarRupture Co-op Playtest available now for a limited time!

The StarRupture’s Co-op Round of Playtest will put you and your friends firmly into the treacherous world of Arcadia-7.

As we want to check the co-operation aspect of our upcoming Early Access launch, the playtest features trying the core elements of StarRupture, ranging from base building and exploration to survival and combat, in online co-op in a group of up to 4 players. If you prefer the lone wolf experience - no worries, the single-player option is still available.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Running from December 3rd to December 8th, this co-op playtest offers the first exciting taste of StarRupture gameplay. If you want to get in, just click the Request Access button on the game’s product page in the Steam Client and download the Playtest.
You may also invite your Steam Friends to join you on the adventure by sending them an invite to the Playtest, so you can build, explore, and survive together on Arcadia-7 planet.






StarRupture Playtest Co-op Round:
What You Need to Know



Welcome to StarRupture, an intense first-person open-world survival game where you’ll build sprawling industrial bases, harvest valuable resources, and battle alien monsters—solo or in a group of up to 4 players. The planet is gorgeous, dangerous, and constantly evolving. Exploration, combat, and creativity are your keys to survival.





[h2]🧪 How to join the playtest?[/h2]


The closed playtest runs from today till December 8th. To join, just head over to our Steam page and click “Request Access.” It’s that easy—and yes, it’s 100% free!





[h2]🎮 What’s in the Playtest?[/h2]

The StarRupture Co-op Playtest features an early slice of the game, featuring the game's core mechanics, a guided tutorial (in single-player mode), and a free play option with map restrictions.


Some gameplay mechanics and more advanced progression levels will be locked out for now (and left for you to fully explore when the game launches in Early Access on January 6th, 2026), so don’t worry about the spoilers; the game will have plenty of fresh and new elements once it launches!


The Co-op Playtest features a more polished experience than July’s Single-Player Round Playtest: we’ve tweaked the performance, ironed out a lot of gameplay mechanics, and we’ve squished a lot of bugs (tons of Vermin were harmed during our internal playtesting), and yes: the autosave is working now!


Your feedback on the playtest will be really helpful for us to deliver you the best possible experience on the Early Access launch - you can fill out our short feedback form over here.

There is no time limit on your session—play as much (or as little) as you want! However, this event will be limited only by the good old calendar - it will finish on December 8th.





[h2]🤝Meet our (anti)heroes[/h2]

During the Co-op Playtest, you will be able to try out in action all of our 4 (anti)heroes - each with their own backstory, traits, and character. They will have plenty of chances to speak with GAL and each other to comment on the current situation. Be sure to try out each one of them to see who is your favorite, before the game launches in Early Access ;)

StarRupture Single-Player Playtest available now

Featuring exciting single-player content, the StarRupture playtest will put you firmly into the treacherous world of Arcadia-7. Simply click the “Request Access” button now on our Steam Page and enjoy it until July 31st.

While StarRupture is a co-op game at heart, where up to four players work together, we also want to ensure that the game is fun and engaging for those who play solo.
This playtest will introduce you to the core elements of StarRupture, ranging from base building and exploration to survival and combat.





Welcome to StarRupture, an intense first-person open-world survival game where you’ll build sprawling industrial bases, harvest valuable resources, and battle alien monsters. The planet is gorgeous, dangerous, and constantly evolving. Exploration, combat, and creativity are your keys to survival.

Meet Chris Bonnet - aka Prisoner 0212 - aka Scientist. He will be the character you play during the single-player playtest. You will have the opportunity to get to know him a little better during your time on Arcadia-7.





[h3]🧪 Closed Playtest is available for a limited time only![/h3]

The playtest kicks off July 29 at 10:00 AM CEST / 1:00 AM PDT and ends July 31 at 7:00 PM CEST / 10:00 AM PDT. To join, just head over to our Steam page and click “Request Access”. It’s that easy—and yes, it’s 100% free!



https://store.steampowered.com/app/1631270/StarRupture/



[h3]🎮 What’s in the Playtest?[/h3]

The StarRupture Single-Player Playtest features over three hours of gameplay split between an early slice of the game featuring the game's core mechanics, a guided tutorial, and a free play option with map restrictions (the Playtest covers around 15% of the Early Access build map), but it’s a first taste of the fun that awaits in StarRupture.

Some gameplay mechanics will be locked out for now (and left for you to fully explore when the game launches in Early Access this Autumn), such as wildlife, base attack and defense, corporate assignments and rewards over a certain level (6-7 depending on the corporation), the Forgotten Engine, some weapon unlocks with mods, and enemies. So don’t worry about the spoilers, the game will have plenty of fresh and new elements once it launches!

The Playtest supports English VO and interface localisation, and the full list of supported languages for StarRupture’s launch in Early Access is available on the game’s Steam Page.

There is no time limit on your session—play as much (or as little) as you want! However, no co-op for now—we’re focusing on single-player balance and stability.

PLAYTEST BUILD KNOWN ISSUES

Menu & Saves
  1. Switching between tabs in the Options menu randomly causes some settings to become greyed out.
  2. The save file is not created in the slot selected by the player; it always saves to the first save slot on the left.

Gameplay
  1. A crash may occur when attempting to place multiple Supported Platforms at once.
  2. A crash may occur when upgrading or deconstructing Rails.
  3. The game may temporarily freeze when placing multiple Supported Platforms for the first time in a session.
  4. Drones may stop delivering items to constructions. This can be resolved by deconstructing and rebuilding the affected rails and machines.
  5. When loading a save made during the Tutorial, the Tutorial widget does not appear until an objective is progressed.
  6. Dropped items stack up to a maximum of 100; any items beyond that limit disappear when dropped.
  7. If the Player obtains items with a full inventory, the excess items fall to the ground and may clip into each other.
  8. Deconstructing the entire base using the Deconstruction option in the Base Core spawns a container tower that may be unreachable by the Player.
  9. After reloading a session, all Quartz may disappear if the game was saved near a Quartz deposit. Quartz will reappear during the next Heat Wave.
  10. Unequipping the Building Tool while walking results in interrupting Player's movement.
  11. Hydration and Calories warning icons do not light up after loading a save.
  12. Machines set to OFF are turned back ON after reloading the save.
  13. The autosave function currently works only at the start and at the end of the tutorial.

Visuals
  1. The Map currently uses placeholder visuals.
  2. Enemies may occasionally appear slightly blurry or may flicker.
  3. Upon loading a save made during a Heat Wave, the critical temperature state and some visual effects may be missing.

Miscellaneous
  1. Dialogues may overlap sporadically.
