Evaluation

Aloft entered Early Access on January 15, 2025 and has since received five major content updates: Critters & Wonders, Puzzles & Pyrologics, Bloom & Blight (November 4, 2025), Gliders & Gales (February 12, 2026), and Discovery & Ancestry (August 26, 2026). The developer explicitly stated on August 13, 2026 that Discovery & Ancestry is "the final content update during Early Access," with the team planning to turn its full attention toward the 1.0 launch once it shipped. The August 26, 2026 launch post reaffirms this, stating: "With Discovery & Ancestry now live, the team will spend some time making sure everything is running smoothly before turning its full attention to the upcoming 1.0 launch. More details are to come." The game remains flagged as Early Access on Steam, and the developer has been clear and consistent that a 1.0 release is the next major milestone. No completion date has been announced for the 1.0 launch. The game is still in active development working toward that goal.

About this game

Aloft is a feel-good, cozy survival game set in the clouds, where you can transform any island into a flying ship and explore the vast skies.

Navigate the world, discover new islands, gather resources, build your dream home, and take care of your animals, solo or as a group of up to 8 friends.

Yet within nature’s beauty, a corruption spreads. Root it out and cure the fungi threat that devours all other life. Uncover lost knowledge, brew powerful antidotes, enrich the biodiversity of the islands, and restore balance to the airborne ecosystem.

Aloft’s feel-good survival is more about rewarding positive action than punishing mistakes.

The sky provides everything you need; cook up delicious meals for buffs, gather resources to craft tools, and explore to find new technology. Soar the open sky freely and discover ancient ruins to uncover the secrets of the past.

Soar the open skies in a vast sandbox world and turn any island into your personal skyship.

Build and customize it into your personal home. With a helm, rudder, and sails constructed, you are ready to sail the winds and explore the skies. You are the captain of your adventure!

The wind is an ever-present ally in Aloft.

Install windmills and a network of cables and pulleys to automate your machines and production. Fly into strong winds to supercharge your crafting power and sailing speed, but make sure your sails can handle it.

Each island is its own living ecosystem, vulnerable to unsustainable gathering and the fungi corruption.

Find and cure islands from corruption by defeating the mushroom creatures in combat. Craft antidotes to save animals and restore islands to a state of harmony. By restoring their biodiversity, you gain access to new special resources, and make them more resistant to the corruption.

Collect seeds and animals on your travels and bring them to your home island.

Plant various crops in your garden to cook up delicious recipes, and care for the cuddliest of animals to gain rare resources. Form a true bond by meeting all their needs, and they will even protect you.

Creativity lies at the heart of Aloft, which can be enjoyed as a peaceful solo experience or with up to 7 other players.

Bring your entire island base when you join another player’s world, and create a small village of sky explorers. Use the in-game island creator to design anything you can imagine, then share it with the community to populate their worlds.

Craft the island of your dreams, challenge the corruption, restore balance, and express your creativity in the limitless skies of Aloft.

See you in the clouds!
