• The Housing Update is Out Now! - 16 August 2026

  Update 0.20.0 is now available. When we shared our housing progress report, you saw an early look at one of the largest additions we have ever made to Beyond Solar. Since then, we have continued adding content, improving the visuals, polishing the controls, and making sure your home feels like a real part of the game. Today, we are opening the doors: player housing is now available in the public. Build it room by room, furnish it, and make it yours. Build a Home Among the Stars Every pilot begins with a permanent Starter Cabin. From there, you can expand into a home of up to 20 connected rooms, choosing from seven additional room layouts ranging from a compact Pod to a full Grand Hall. Build upward, outward, or a little of both. Try different layouts, rearrange rooms as your plans change, and use the live house map to keep track of a growing home. If a room no longer fits your idea, it…

• Building a Home Beyond the Solar System - 6 August 2026

  Development preview: This is a look at work currently in progress. The features shown below are not yet available in the public Steam build, and their visuals, balance, content, and final release scope may change during development. A work-in-progress home assembled room by room. Since the last update, most of our development time has gone into one of the largest additions we have attempted for Beyond Solar: player housing. We are building housing as a useful part of the game, not a static trophy room. It will be a place you can build, customize, use between missions, and eventually share with other pilots. To make that work, housing now connects to progression, combat rewards, achievements, the campaign, the Arsenal, drones, friends, multiplayer, and save data. Here is what has been taking shape behind the scenes. Build a home, one room at a time Every home begins with a permanent Star…
