Evaluation

ASTRONEER first launched in Early Access in 2016 and reached its full launch on February 5, 2019, and it has kept receiving updates since. The Megatech content arrived on November 20, 2025. The developer then moved to a monthly patch schedule and, on May 20, 2026, confirmed monthly updates will continue until at least the end of 2026, with a special free update planned for December 2026 for the game's 10th anniversary that will add new gameplay content. A June 10, 2026 patch post repeated that commitment. The most recent patch, 1.44.4, shipped on September 16, 2026. In that post the developer said the new content for the year-end anniversary update will be revealed later, and that save file management features are still in progress. The studio is also developing a separate title, STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions, which entered Early Access on June 11, 2026, and it says ASTRONEER remains a focus. Because new content is still to come, the game's content is not yet complete.

About this game

Astroneers undergo rigorous training to explore the frontiers of outer space for the good of all humankind. Creativity and ingenuity are key to their survival!

RESHAPE THE ENVIRONMENT

Astroneers are trained to use the Terrain Tool, a powerful instrument which can dig, collect, shape, build, and color terrain in any way they wish.

GO HANDS-ON WITH BASEBUILDING

Build custom bases throughout the solar system to survive and thrive anywhere! Objects are snapped into place in a modular system that allows Astroneers to create unique builds. Automation systems, crafting stations, power plants, resource harvesters, and railway facilities are built from the ground up and can be customized to suit any situation.

LEARN TO SURVIVE A STRANGE SOLAR SYSTEM

This unrecognized system consists of seven celestial bodies. Each of them can be explored entirely, from the rounded surface all the way down into the core. Astroneers will have to grapple with their unique geography and challenging biomes if they seek to understand them.

UNCOVER THE MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVERSE

These strange worlds are dotted with mysterious structures and artifacts, while Astroneers themselves receive confusing comms from unknown sources. Curious Astroneers may seek to understand these anomalies, and with them, the secrets of the solar system.

ALONE OR TOGETHER

While they're perfectly capable on their own, Astroneers are team players who are always happy to offer a helping hand! Group up with other Astroneers and work together in 2-4 player online co-op. Playing solo online allows fellow Astroneers to drop in and out of your world at their leisure.

WHERE WE ARE

Astroneer began as an Early Access title on Steam in 2016, and reached 1.0 in 2019. We wouldn't be here today if not for our community's support, feedback, and ideation. As we continue on our journey, we want to reiterate our pledge to continue building on the foundation that is Astroneer with free, ongoing content updates.
