Remains

Remains is a space survival game that has been in Early Access since June 8, 2021. The developer, a solo developer operating under SoloQ, has continued to post updates and communicate plans throughout the game's Early Access period, though the pace of updates has slowed considerably. The most recent developer communication, posted on November 9, 2025, outlines plans for the 1.0 release. These include integrating cross-platform multiplayer (being prototyped in the developer's spare time), replacing third-party asset models with original artwork, and delivering a final story chapter — though the developer noted the story scope was scaled back due to limited revenue. The post also promises that any post-1.0 updates will be free of charge. Prior to that, a December 2024 holiday post reiterated similar goals (cross-platform multiplayer, level redesign, new buildings, model rework, and possible VR support) but noted a roadmap had not yet been prepared due to workload. The last major content update — the Droid Update (version 0.53) — shipped on October 8, 2024, adding functional collector and mining droids along with a reworked energy system. The developer has been transparent about the game's financial situation: Remains does not generate enough revenue to support full-time development, and the developer is simultaneously working on other projects. This has resulted in a slower and less predictable update cadence. The developer acknowledged this in the October 2024 post, stating updates will come but cannot be guaranteed to arrive quickly. The 1.0 release with its promised features (multiplayer, visual overhaul, story conclusion) remains the outstanding commitment, but no release date has been given and no update has been posted since November 2025 — over seven months ago as of today's date. Given the developer's stated resource constraints and the absence of a concrete timeline, the path to 1.0 carries meaningful uncertainty.
