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

Built from the ground up to be easily moddable. You have the tools to make the universe however you'd like it

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
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.
Man I love Starbound('s mods)! I love playing it with my friends (and mods) I could imagine not playing this game (without mods) It's such a good game (if you mod it) Long story short, this is one of those games you mod as soon as you download it..

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.

Лайк за то, что спустя 10+ лет из обновлений это "Слышь чмырь, купи пластинку".
beautiful visuals and music, but the game is sorely lacking in actual content and game systems which not even mods can rectify. I could write an essay on the problematic and slow development of this game as someone who has been playing since ~2014, but that's already been done to death in various youtube videos, so instead I'll just say that a lot of the work on this game was by unpaid and underage programmers. I wish all the best to the programmers and to curtis, but please do not buy this game
Install frackin universe, then its a 10/10 if you like building and tech tree games.
Oh Starbound, what a game you could've been... A shame the company that made you is comprised of lying, lazy developers.
game abandoned
Ну чтож, вот и стукнуло старбаунду 10 лет. За столько лет и поиграл в кучу игр, ту же террарию и кучу модов на неё же. Но ничего не смогло превзойти опыт старбаунда. Цитируя один комментарий из интернета: "Удивительным отличительным фактором Starbound от других инди игр, это саундтрек. Обычно в инди играх саундтрек всей игры длится около часа, в свою очередь у Starboud весь саундтрек длится более 7 часов". Эта игра подарила опыт путешествий по космосу тем, кто скорее всего никогда в своей жизни даже не приблизится к ракете или чему то прочему. Вселенная игры настолько велика, что всего топлива мира не хватит, чтобы изучить её полностью. Я считаю эту игру идеальной. Кто то скажет, что сканирование местностей рас душное. Но это только для тех, кто игру проходит не первый раз. Кто бы что ни говорил, какая бы там драма за кулисами разработки не стояла, игра уже вышла и она существует. С одной стороны, опыт игры был прекрасным. Но с другой, крайне больно понимать, что пройти через этот опыт снова будет невозможно, уже не получится собраться с друзьями и пройти её ещё раз, как тогда раньше. Игра оставила глубокий шрам на моём сердце, надо ли оно вам - решать собственно вам самим. Однозначно 10/10, таких игр больше не делают
[b] Do not buy this game. [/b] By itself, it is... alright. The story is shallow and the randomly generated planets get tiring after a while (although I hear the building is great!). On its own, I would give it a 6/10. However, community mods make this game far better. These mods don't fix some of the fundamental issues with the game (for example, how your ship can get corrupted if you put too much stuff on it), but they add a lot more life to the game. Unfortunately, this game has one of the worst histories I've learned about (unpaid child labor with the never-fulfilled promise of a job) with and was just abandoned one day. Look to other games for a space fantasy, don't get into this one.
The game is repetitive with scanning objects from different planets and going into an instance for the entire game. It's last update was back in 2019 and there has been silence after it, i would leave a positive review on this game but the modders put more love into this game compared to Chucklefish. You're better off playing Terraria.
