Greetings, Space Explorers!

A long-awaited moment has come:

Solar Expanse has just been released in Early Access!

Get ready to explore the space and take the reins of a space agency, and lead humanity to become an interplanetary species!

State of Early Access

We are aware that our game still requires a lot of attention. That's why we plan to provide continuous support and develop it together with the community. After today's launch, our first aim is to ensure that everyone in the community can play without any major problems. If necessary, we will provide hotfix updates in the upcoming days, reacting to the most important issues.

Once it's confirmed that the game is nice and stable, we will proceed with adding new content and features to Solar Expanse. Those things will be decided based on your feedback. That's why we really want to encourage you to complete the in-game surveys that are available in the Main Menu. Your feedback helps us a lot with ensuring that we are heading in the right direction.

Pricing and bundles

The game is available for 17.99 EUR/17.99 USD and we are selling it with a 10% launch discount which is available for the upcoming two weeks. You can also buy Solar Expanse in one of the bundles to get an additional 10% discount! If you haven't played any of the games that they include, we really recommend doing so!

See you in space!

SpaceOps Team
