- An Important Update about Outerstellar... - 21 August 2026
Hello, Explorers! First of all, we want to thank you. You who have played and supported Outerstellar throughout the years and different iterations of the game. Your presence in the community means the world to us. When we originally launched Outerstellar, we didn’t think about marketing or Steam Algorithms; we just built a game that we loved and wanted to share it with players as soon as possible. And we were thrilled to see a dedicated player base form around our game. But the reality of game development is that you need more people and players to see your game to be truly successful, and we were already buried by the Steam algorithm. Still, we persisted, updating and overhauling the game throughout the years. But this year we decided to stop and think. And we realized that our game, and its community, deserve a proper fresh start. That’s why we’re incredibly excited to announce our ne…

- Update 26328 - Raiding window - 16 January 2026
Raiding window update Thanks to everyone who tested our last update, especially those who submitted bugs to us! It is a huge help to us. Based on your feedback we have numerous quality of life and exploit fixes, along with a significant rework to how raiding occurs. We now restrict raiding to a 4 hour window. This window is usually 18:00 - 22:00 in the timezone of the server, so we hope you can find something that works for you. When you join the server, check the Pause menu for details of that particular server. Raiding is still disabled by default, and is enabled by building and filling an Aura Beacon. Once filled, raiding will start the next day, in the next time slot. Once 3 raiding cycles are complete the beacon is destroyed. Completing a beacon now enables raiding for just 3 days, with 1 day start delay Raiding is enabled for a 4 hour window each day only (coded to server timezone…

- Outerstellar OG - 18 June 2025
After listening closely to our incredible community, we’ve pivoted back to the original survival experience – the vision Outerstellar was born from. While the battle royale chapter added exciting innovations, we’ve fused the best of those elements into a refined, immersive survival mode that feels deeper, richer, and more intense than ever before. But we’re not stopping there. New surprises await. This is more than survival. It’s evolution. And we’re building it with you. Join us as we shape the future of the game together – your feedback fuels our updates, and your voice is helping us prepare for full release. The game is maturing, and it's almost ready to emerge from Early Access. Are you ready to survive what's coming?
