About
Get ready to explore, discover and interact with a multitude of species as you journey among the stars. Forge a galactic empire by sending out science ships to survey and explore, while construction ships build stations around newly discovered planets. Discover buried treasures and galactic wonders as you spin a direction for your society, creating limitations and evolutions for your explorers. Alliances will form and wars will be declared.
Like all our Grand Strategy games, the adventure evolves with time. Because free updates are a part of any active Paradox game, you can continue to grow and expand your empire with new technologies and capabilities. What will you find beyond the stars? Only you can answer that.
Stellaris now includes the base game, three expansion packs, and a collection of digital goods.
Stellaris: Chart a vast, procedurally generated galaxy where every star system holds a new mystery to uncover or an alien civilization to encounter. Forge a unique empire: from your first warp jump to galactic domination, you decide whether the universe remembers you as a benevolent pioneer or a relentless conqueror.
Utopia: Unlock the full potential of your empire with this expansion focused on the evolution of society. Whether you're building mega-structures or ascending to a higher plane of existence, Utopia helps you create a future that’s as bright as the stars themselves.
Synthetic Dawn Story Pack: Take command of a Machine Empire and reshape the galaxy in your own image. Will you lead your mechanical creations to peaceful coexistence, or will the rise of synthetic life spell the end for organics?
Humanoids Species Pack: the most-played phenotype now gains more variety with unique civics and a new origin. Along with their own unique ship class, new portraits, and more, there’s never been a better time to explore the future of humanity.
And on top of this, the Digital Collector’s Book, a Signed Wallpaper, a Unique Forum Avatar and Icon!
Every game begins with a civilization that has just discovered the means to travel between stars and is ready to explore the galaxy. Have your science ships survey and explore anomalies, leading you into a myriad of quests, introducing strange worlds with even stranger stories and discoveries that may completely change your outcome.
With characteristically complex unique planets and celestial bodies, you will enter a whirlwind of spectacles in a highly detailed universe.
Through customization and procedural generation, you will encounter infinitely varied races. Choose positive or negative traits, specific ideologies, limitations, evolutions or anything you can imagine. Interact with others through the advanced diplomacy system. Diplomacy is key in a proper grand strategy adventure. Adjust your strategy to your situation through negotiation and skill.
An eternal cycle of war, diplomacy, suspicions and alliances await you. Defend or attack with fully customizable war fleets, where adaptation is the key to victory. Choose from an array of complex technologies when designing and customizing your ships with the complex ship designer. You have a multitude of capabilities to choose from to meet the unknown quests that await.
Grow and expand your empire with thousands of randomly generated planet types, galaxies, quests and monsters lurking in space.
Customize your Empire! The characters you choose, be it a murderous mushroom society or an engineering reptile race, can be customized with traits like ethics, type of technology, form of preferred space travel, type of habitat, philosophies and more. The direction of the game is based on your choices.

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.

Reviews
This game seems to endlessly repeat itself over and over unless you buy the DLCs or get a mod. I found some of the mechanics confusing and pretty annoying at some points. I could just be not getting it or not patient enough, but I would not recommend to somebody who does not want to sit through hours worth of tutorials.
nice Game

Excellent jeu de stratégie avec une rejouabillité infinie grâce a la personnalisation de sa campagne, je recommande fortement. Seul point négatif est la quantité de DLC se qui pousse à l'achat.
Game in the past has been amazing. I had redownloaded it to play it but it seems that the launcher no longer works. :(
Finally a game community without poor people!

Great strategy game
You see my playtime. I have given this game many chances. But this game is the definition of a mile wide, inch deep. Every game plays the exact same, no matter what. Want to win with diplomacy? Better tech for it. Win by military might? Requires tech to do. Wanna be a billionaire? Need technology for that. Wanna do espionage? It's balanced so poorly that you are useless beyond imagining. Wanna be an industrial superpower? Requires tech. This wouldn't be bad if acquiring tech was done differently. But this game is balanced so that you can't just get the diplomacy techs, you can't just get the military techs, you can't just get the industry techs. It's a system where if you go for one, you go for all. How that plays is you need to out-science everyone else. Every playthrough is a science victory playthrough. Sure, it's fun once or twice, but there's no such thing as a "low tech horde" or a "diplomacy" or "financial" victory. Everything is done via generating science. If you want to be powerful, your ONLY OPTION to interact with stuff like diplomacy or military or economy is by rushing tech and doing it better than anyone else. This game has great theming. It makes you feel like you're having a unique playthrough, it shows you the pretty colors and menus. It makes you feel like you're doing something different. But then it disappoints you. You realize that, to accomplish your goals, you have to rush science, and realize this is the 12th game in a row you've done it. And, to be clear, I'm not saying "the only meta is this". I'm not saying "If you want to win this is how". I am saying that the core mechanics are physically locked behind generating science, making it the only way to play the game. This is not an issue of metas, it's a fundamentally broken system that doesn't work. Also, they sell $250 of DLC, all of which is content that should be basegame. The base game is skeletal. And there's STILL content missing that you probably should use mods to add, like gigastructures. It's a mediocre game that disappoints longterm players. And it's devastating because you can *see* the potential for a good game underneath. The components are there. But it's so horribly balanced and implemented that it just doesn't work. Only paradox game I'll give a negative review. ♥♥♥♥ the company, they make good games, except for this one.
