Evaluation
Starfighter: Infinity has been in Early Access since July 16, 2019 and remains there today. The solo developer (Ben Olding Games) has consistently expanded the game over the years, adding new star systems, alien races, ships, weapons, missions, and gameplay systems through dozens of updates. The store description itself notes that content is "being added all the time," and the game's stats grew substantially between 2019 and 2023 — from around 550 equippable items at launch to over 2,200, and from a handful of star systems to 28.
The last Steam news post appeared on February 16, 2023, announcing a new star system (Zeta Puppis) and a new alien race called The Abyss. In the preceding December 2022 post, the developer described the game as approaching a "home stretch" and specifically mentioned that a new race, star system, and "Megaboss" events were still in progress and coming soon.
However, there have been no further Steam posts since February 2023 — a silence of over three years as of June 2026. The developer had previously acknowledged a tendency to communicate more actively on Discord than Steam, so some development activity may be ongoing off-platform. That said, the promised Megaboss events and the additional content flagged in late 2022 have not been publicly confirmed as released. Given the length of the silence and the outstanding commitments from the developer's own posts, it is currently unclear whether those features shipped or whether active development is continuing.
Evidence
Last Steam update posted: new star system Zeta Puppis and new alien race The Abyss added. This is the most recent official communication on Steam.
Developer states the game is 'nearly on the home stretch' and confirms that a new race, a new star system, and Megaboss events are in progress and coming. These features had not yet shipped as of this post.

Craft, Loot Discover
- 84 playable ships (so far) with different stats and play styles unlocked as you progress.
- 1447 different items (so far) that you can buy, craft or loot. With a large variety of imagination - not just different numbers, weapons act differently have different effects. See the official website for a list
- Hunt down and mine precious minerals that can then be crafted into weapons/items
Fight- Realtime multiplayer PvP and PvE - keyboard or joypad based action involving skill. Action is skill based dogfighting style, with no fixed tactics: use a fast ship and evade, or a slower ship with tactical aids, and lots of shields. How you combine weapons and tactics is up to you.
- Designed so that pretty much any ship in game is a threat - you are not 'the chosen one', you have no special advantage over any other ship except your own cunning and skill...
- Neutral zones, warzones, free for all zones, duels and also jammers, interfering nebula dust all allow for different types of combat and tactics, or no combat at all...
- Encounter several other alien races in the game with their own ships and lootable weapons/items
Explore- 21 explorable star systems with between 100 and 289 sectors each, with lots of things to discover
- Loads of planets to find (100 so far) with their own back stories
- Ancient Relics drifting in space - not all are just dormant
- Explore inside space stations, chat to other players while turrets protect you from incoming enemies.
Organise
- Team up with other players to form your own organisation and compete with others
- Organisation run stations: Affect the star system around you - Nearby AI ships will be coloured and branded to your organisation and will have weapons specified by you. Therefore the galaxy is very much influenced by the people playing it.
- Get special ranks and ships for running an organisation with a certain amount of members
