Out of Orbit

Out of Orbit is a space sandbox RPG in Early Access, developed by a solo developer (Bryan at Case Yellow Labs) who is actively building the game toward a full 1.0 release. Since launching in October 2023, the game has shipped two major named updates: RPG Part 1 on December 13, 2025, and RPG Part 2 on May 14, 2026. A steady stream of feature patches and bug fixes has accompanied these, along with regular community communications throughout development. The most recent developer posts confirm significant content is still in the pipeline. On August 8, 2026, the developer announced that work on the RPG III update had begun, describing it as covering new weapons, restricted areas, deeper health mechanics, sleeping mechanics, a full storyline, and side quests. A follow-up dev diary on August 29, 2026 showed further progress on RPG III features including a Pirate Den station, a new Pirate faction, contraband mechanics, and a Sector Heat reputation system. The developer explicitly described RPG III as "the final update before the multiplayer update," meaning at least two substantial updates remain before the game reaches its 1.0 goal. Supporting the multiplayer roadmap, on July 27, 2026, the developer pushed a major backend update that upgraded the game engine specifically to improve Steam multiplayer integration, describing this as "an important milestone toward the multiplayer update." Developer communication has been consistent and frequent throughout 2026, with no signs of financial distress or development uncertainty. The game remains clearly in active development with well-communicated future plans.
