June 08, 2026

Captain Jupiter of the ESS Starseeker dropped by the PC Gaming Show to unveil a fresh gameplay look at STARSEEKER, the next co-op space adventure from the makers of Astroneer. The game launches in Early Access on June 11 for PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2. New Gameplay Trailer Shows Combat, Terraforming, and More

What the Trailer Revealed

The good Captain gave us a tour of the key features coming to this interplanetary voyage:

  • Combat – face unknown threats across alien worlds
  • Exploration – uncover cosmic mysteries
  • Terraforming – reshape landscapes to your will
  • Traversal – new ways to get around planets
  • Astronaut customization – suit up your spacefarer in style

All of this awaits you and your fellow explorers the moment Early Access begins.

Co-op First, But Solo Works Too

STARSEEKER is built for cooperation, camaraderie, and companionship – but you can absolutely fly solo. Complete objectives on your own or swing by the station to team up with new friends. Everything you do pushes a shared common goal forward, and the more you play, the deeper into the unknown you'll go.

The ESS Starseeker: Your Persistent Hub

The heart of the experience is the ESS Starseeker itself – a vast, ever-evolving space station. This persistent hub is where players gather to plan expeditions, upgrade gear and abilities, and just hang out between missions. Think of it as your home among the stars, growing alongside your journey.

Early Access: June 11 on All Major Platforms

Mark your calendars: STARSEEKER enters Early Access on June 11 for:

  • PC
  • Xbox Series X|S
  • PlayStation 5
  • Nintendo Switch 2

The year wasn't specified during the showcase, but the date is locked in. Expect more details from developer System Era Softworks as we get closer to launch.
