About Starbound
Starbound is a 2D sandbox adventure game developed and published by Chucklefish. It left Early Access with its 1.0 release in July 2016 and built a lasting following thanks to its mix of open-ended exploration, base building, and a procedurally generated universe to roam.
The core loop sends you across a galaxy of procedurally generated planets, each with its own biomes, creatures, and loot. You mine resources, craft gear, build colonies, recruit NPC tenants, and follow a story that takes you from a wrecked starship to the far edges of the universe. Co-op turns that solo journey into a shared adventure where a crew explores and builds side by side.
Starbound plays solo or in online co-op with friends. Progress is persistent, so your ship, colonies, and unlocked systems carry between sessions. On a private dedicated server, the universe stays live around the clock, letting any crewmate log in and pick up exploration without waiting on the host.
