- Planet S Version 1.3.0 - 18 December 2025
Hey everyone! We thought we should end this year on a high note with another big patch! This update brings three major features so lets take a look: 8 Player MatchesPlanet S now supports matches with up to 8 players up from the previous limit of 4 players. This hold true for both single and multiplayer matches meaning you can play with 8 human or bot players or anything in between.We made some optimizations over the last patches including this one to enable more players per match. On top of that we will also expand the available pool of player / faction colors and this update also brings a reworked diplomacy menu (the overview page) to accommodate more players.New World TypeThis update also adds a new world type called "Extended".

- Planet S Version 1.2.7 - 5 December 2025
Hey everyone! This is another smaller update to address a couple of isses that showed up since the last patch. This patch also changes the savegame location! Savegames & Config files Previously Planet S stored its config files and most importantly the savegames in the install directory of the game (usually in "C:/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/Planet S/saves" on Windows). This usually works but users that aren't using an admin account to log into Windows ran into problems when saving their games. In those cases their savegames just weren't written to disk at all as the game would need admin rights to write into that directory. Losing all your progress is obviously pretty annoying so thats why we will be changing the location for config files, savegames and flag presets to a different location where admin rights are never required. The new location will be C:/Users/{username}/Saved…

Hey everyone! The Yggdrasil Foundation is an independent research organization funded by the Coalition for intergalactic Travel (CIT). Their main goal is to research potential points of interest in galaxies yet out of reach. They operate from the planet with the same name, located in a solar system guarded by the Yggdrasil Division of its military alliance. Theodor Renex and his best friend Vincent Oswald Chambers are the lead scientists of Yggdrasil. When they discovered the possibility of a unique new type of planet, they handled that information with great care. But despite their efforts to keep it a secret, rumors about its supposed impossible materials and new forms of life started spreading.

- Teaser: Prof. Heinrich Dresher - 24 January 2025
Prof. Heinrich Dresher is a former council member of the Coalition for intergalactic Travel (CIT) and is thus regarded as one of their great pioneers. He is driven by his thirst for knowledge which eventually led him to a feud with the Yggdrasil Foundation. When CIT refused to back him up, he decided to take matters into his own hands. Dresher betrayed CIT and stole their sensitive research data to provide it to his new organization – the Circle of Omniscience. He knows exactly that CIT would never dare to make a move against him. The Circle’s current goal is a mystery, but they are rumored to have struck a deal with the Crimson Wolves. Something big is about to happen. We hope that you liked this little teaser as well! We are planning to share some more substantial information about the DLC next week, so keep an eye out for that! Enjoy! Glimmerlight Games
- Teaser: Crimson Wolves - 17 January 2025
The Crimson Wolves are regarded as one of the most dangerous groups of mercenaries in the entire galaxy. It is said that their forces could even rival official military alliances. Despite that they follow a simple philosophy: They don’t pick fights they aren’t paid for. Their leader’s name is Kroger. While he’s often portrayed as a fierce maniac, in reality he always keeps a calm mind. As long as there’s enough money on the table, he’s willing to take any contract – be it the extermination of relentless pirates or the besiegement of a highly militarized planet. Usually he acts as the Commander himself. And soon he will meet his match. We hope you enjoyed our next little teaser! Glimmerlight Games
- Teaser: Coalition for Intergalactic Travel - 9 January 2025
The Coalition for intergalactic Travel (CIT) emerged from a collaboration between some illustrious pioneers who all shared the same goal: To expand the reach of humanity beyond a single galaxy. Their greatest invention to date is the Exo spaceship, which has already revolutionized travels between solar systems far apart from one another. If they manage to refine it even further, who knows where it might lead them? CIT is governed by a council of dedicated scientists while their research missions are conducted by their Commanders. Lucas works as an assistant for CIT’s Commanders, serving as the link between them and the inhabitants of their colonies. He’s rather excitable and tends to get along with everyone. Usually he tries to steer away from conflicts, but he will soon realize that CIT’s newest Commander is not as hesitant. We hope you enjoyed this little teaser! The topic resulted fr…
