About
In Starbound, you create your own story - there’s no wrong way to play! You may choose to save the universe from the forces that destroyed your home, uncovering greater galactic mysteries in the process, or you may wish to forego a heroic journey entirely in favor of colonizing uncharted planets.
Settle down and farm the land, become an intergalactic landlord, hop from planet to planet collecting rare creatures, or delve into dangerous dungeons and lay claim to extraordinary treasures.
Discover ancient temples and modern metropolises, trees with eyes, and mischievous penguins. Make use of hundreds of materials and over two thousand objects to build a sleepy secluded cabin in the woods, a medieval castle, underwater arcade, or even a space station.
Starbound has been built from the ground up to be multiplayer and easily moddable. You have the tools to make the universe your own and modify the game to suit your play style - add new items, races, planet types, dungeons, and quests - the possibilities are limitless.
Choose from one of 7 playable races and customize your character
Save the universe in an epic story campaign featuring colorful characters, bosses, dungeons, and quests!
You're the captain of your very own starship! Decorate it, expand it, and use it to explore a procedurally generated universe
Colonize uncharted planets and collect gifts from your tenants - if they like you, they may even ask to join your ship crew!
Three game modes - Casual (no need to eat), Survival (eat to survive/drop items on death) and Hardcore (permadeath)
Craft thousands of objects - building materials, armor, weapons, furniture and more
Capture unique monsters to fight alongside you

Built from the ground up to be easily moddable. You have the tools to make the universe however you'd like it
Add-ons
Each DLC is estimated with the same model as a game, then summed — a modeled figure, not reported DLC sales.
Sums Steam only; Xbox, GOG publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.
Updates
Build ids and update times come straight from Steam's PICS — the same source SteamDB reads. Patch history grows as we record new builds.

Reviews
One of my favorite OWSC Sandbox games that was unfortunatley shafted by the devs after it was revealed they were exploiting workers and providing zero compensation for their assistance in the games creation. (Chucklefish can turn gold into sulfur when given enough time. In other news forks were found in a kitchen.) If you're wanting to play this game don't buy it from the steam page

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

While the game isn't without issues, Starbound is a genuinely fun time. The backstories & designs of each race are all unique, the amount of customization is staggering, and the gameplay's basic, simple fun that looks quite nice. What will most likely make-or-break the experience for you is the quest system, which I personally like to prevent this from becoming a "wiki game" where you have no clue what to do. It sections the game stages off very, very clearly & helps keep the (again, staggering) amount of crafting items from getting overwhelming. This does keep the game from being a true sandbox until late-game, but I'm not here for that, I'm here for the adventure aspect. Starbound also has years worth of good mods by a passionate scene, such as Shellguard & Arcana, making up for the abandonment of official development. Personal suggestions to anyone picking the game up- get the Open Source Starbound client for much better performance, and avoid the Frackin' Universe mod, as FU [strike]fittingly for that name[/strike] has a large amount of stolen content.
Можете свои виниловые пластинки запихнуть куда поглубже
I got pranked by a vinyl. A great piece of coal eternally waiting to be turned into a diamond. Play with mods. This could've, would've been my favourite survival game of all time. I would've jumped on DLCs if the developers needed money to continue improving the game.
This game used to be my favorite for winding down but now it's literally a dead husk of it's former self Chucklefish kills games, they do not care about you, they care about the money, most of their games have been abandoned for quite sometime Seeing that they wanted to "celebrate" a 10 year aniversary just puts the nail in the coffin. They could've done literally anthing else. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, IT IS CONSIDERED AS ABANDONWARE
Hopped into the game dug up some dirt blocks and crafted a few thousand soda cans. What a wonderful game.
Devs abandoned the game just 3 years after release, tried to sell everyone on a vinyl 7 years after they abandoned it. "Please oh please buy our merch for our game that we abandoned."
I really had big hopes for this game but it falls into the trap of no mans sky in a worse way, samy worlds with no real direction or purpose. Exploration gets boring quick and the npcs are not very interesting.
Лайк за то, что спустя 10+ лет из обновлений это "Слышь чмырь, купи пластинку".
