Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.71/day in the week to Sep 7 → 24.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.
About
Welcome home! The award-winning sci-fi city builder is back - remastered, expanded, and more stunning than ever. Your mission: colonize Mars and survive the process, from exploration and infrastructure to welcoming human colonists and achieving long-term stability. There are new challenges to overcome, new strategies to plan, and now with an upgraded look and feel for a new generation of explorers.
All you need for this relaunched mission to create a thriving Martian settlement is a steady supply of resources, oxygen, decades of training, experience with sandstorms… and a curious attitude to discover the purpose of those weird black cubes that appeared out of nowhere. With a bit of sprucing up, this place is going to be awesome!
Surviving Mars: Relaunched brings together the original colony management game from Haemimont Games, its entire catalogue of expansions, improved and reworked, from major expansions to cosmetics and radio stations, as well as the all-new Martian Assembly update. Upgraded graphics together with updated UI will give veteran players the definitive Surviving Mars experience, and provide an ideal launch point for new commanders as well.
Are you ready? Mars is waiting for you.
The new Martian Assembly brings an expanded endgame challenge never seen in the original. Shape your Martian society through laws. Balance the needs and demands of your colonists, keep the peace and develop a long-term plan for Mars - up to and including independence from Earth!
Building a thriving colony on a planet not fit for human life brings its own challenges. Construct life-support systems, power grids, domes, and supply chains, and keep them running, because blackouts on a planet without oxygen are never a good idea. And you’re not alone. With the included ‘Space Race’ expansion, rival colonies backed by competing sponsors add even more pressure as you fight for resources and the future of Mars.
Balance critical resources like oxygen, water, power, and food to keep your colony alive. Drones build and maintain your infrastructure, while the revamped ‘Martian Express’ adds trains that move people and supplies across longer distances. Every colonist has their own needs and behaviors and smart management is essential for their survival.
Advance your colony through a deep research system that unlocks new buildings, production methods, and essential upgrades. Discover breakthroughs, resources, and hidden secrets reaching ‘Below & Beyond’ the Martian surface. With randomized maps, varied sponsors, and unpredictable Mysteries, every playthrough offers new challenges, and every decision shapes your story of survival and growth on Mars.
Terraforming is no longer a distant dream, it’s your next challenge. With the included ‘Green Planet’ expansion, you can engineer Mars into a more habitable world. As the environment transforms, introduce animal life with ‘Project Laika’, bringing the first creatures to thrive alongside your colonists. The future of Mars isn’t just survival, it’s building a self-sustaining, living planet.

Scumbag move Paradox. Welcome to the perpetual ignore list. Congratulations. Also, I wonder exactly what the improvements are, because I got irrevocably stuck in the BASIC tutorial twice, due to completely assinine design and incorrect/incomplete information and the lack of a way to cancel unwanted buildings. So, thanks for the free weekend. Now I can review this steaming pile without spending a single dime. You got that right, at least. It's not even as if the relaunch is better than the original, on the contrary. You removed the tutorial narrator, and changed it into something much less enjoyable. What else did you enshittfy? I couldn't recommend this blatant cash grab any less.
The newly added politics content feels like AI slop :-( The quotes for politics are generic and gives off a strong AI-generated vibe, and the faction favor mechanic feels out of the blue and doesn't really make sense story-wise. I fear that the devs were taking a wrong turn for this game's development (I mean wrong for my personal taste). Ever since the abstraction team took over and then fired, it feels like the game is focusing too much on adding half-baked gameplay, while neglecting the overall vibe of what makes the game surviving mars---a grand sci-fi with a twist of lighthearted care-free sarcasm. It was evident in the trailers of the original surviving mars; but now with the relaunched version, these vibes are all faded and stiffened, as the game starts to feel soulless. But anyway, let's see if the devs will improve it in the upcoming years. The game could certainly use some more bug-fixes (haven't seen any game-breaking ones, but they certainly do exist). Meanwhile, I personally would recommend any returning players to perhaps wait and see? (The game is okay if you haven't played the original, but if you are like me and owns the original version with most of DLCs... then the current state of the game, as of early 2026, doesn't really justify the extra money it asks.)

I loved the original game and it was smooth on my laptop. This game starts lagging after some time an freezes from time to time. Also the improvements are not enough to explain making a relaunch out of it. At this moment I can´t recommend buying it.
I had the original game with only a couple of DLCs. The deal for Relaunched was good because I got all the DLCs along with it. That being said, there is little good about the Relaunched I can say. The game was half baked. It's extremely buggy even in Patch 1.04 (I still get toxic rains despite almost finishing the terraforming). The pop-ups are buggy and annoying. Asteroid mechanics is tedious and frustrating. Explorer AI doesn't work underground. You have to hold its hand at all times. Political parties are annoying with constant pop-ups and requests that you can't fulfill. The population and science snowball towards the end of the game and become an annoyance. I feel that the game is just not fun. They need to fix the bugs and balance it. Only then I may come back and play some more. I am setting it aside for now. Can't recommend buying it.
Started a new game, Ulta settings, FPS drops to 30 on an empty map everytime I open the build menu or select units, tried with Med settings and still experiencing the same issues, it's like Cities Skylines 2 all over again, needless to say didn't even attemp to build a colony after I experienced such issues on an empty map.
Surviving mars is a good game the first one anyway. the second one went to the political aspect with no way to shut it off if is not your bag. If I wanted to play a political game I would run for office. I quit playing frost punk 2 because of the politics in the game and that is the reason I will quit playing this one.
This game is still completely and utterly bugged. Sending rockets home sometime has hundreds of tourists just showing up as "departing" and giving you billions in funding for no reason. Rockets teleport home without travelrime randomly. Numerous other problems too. It may be a good purchase if you want to try the complete game at some point, but right now the focus clearly has not been on anything resembling a polished experience.
Somehow after all these years Relaunched version still feels like an early access game. Some things work, some don't like trains, or overall balance of the game. Underground is a total mess. Asteroids are cool, but are not necessary to complete the game. Overall if they could manage to clean the game from bugs and issues it would be really good game, but right now it's not, only early game feels good.
A lot more lag. Feels like a relaunch just to grab money…
I was looking forward to the relaunch. However, in its current state I only can give it a thumbs-down. Many game mechanics that have mostly worked in the original game are now bugged beyond comprehension. I hope the studio will fix it, but so far it is a little bit of nostalgia and a lot of double-u t f.
