ASTRONEER is getting new DLC & Major FREE Update!

Big things are coming for ASTRONEER. Huge, in fact! 

ASTRONEER: Megatech 

Our second major DLC update for ASTRONEER is scheduled to be released in November of this year, and it brings big changes to the game! Unlock the ability to build massive Megastructure projects that will test your base building skills through the use of both new and existing technology. Harness the power of Megatech to take base building and automation to a whole new level!  

This DLC will be completely compatible with existing saves and builds off of any progress you’ve already made in-game, so feel free to start fresh or load up your existing saves and start building! 

In addition, this DLC will be released alongside a free update for all players. The free update will include new items and the ability to create a Megastructure that will allow automated interplanetary transportation (kudos to those who guessed correctly!). That means moving resources and technology between planets while you sit pretty and play with your favorite galastropod. 

We’ll share more details in the future, but in the meantime you can already wishlist it!

A New Development Partner 

Continuing to develop ASTRONEER in parallel to a brand-new game? Releasing a new DLC expansion while development for STARSEEKER is still ongoing? You might be asking yourself how we’re able to manage it all. We’re still a smallish scrappy team, after all. Well, this is because we’re getting some help. 

Our co-development partners are called Red Kite Games, and they’re good people who are good at what they do. You might already be familiar with at least one of the many other games they’ve helped co-develop, such as Fall Guys and Two Point Hospital, but they’ve also been hugely influential in allowing us to develop Megatech and more. 

We call this out for the sake of transparency and crediting their work accordingly, so please show them some love too once you get to try out some of this new content. 

FAQ 

What’s the release date for ASTRONEER: Megatech? 

  • November 2025. We’ll narrow this down once we’re closer to release. 

Will existing game save files be compatible with the Megatech DLC? 

  • Yes.  

Will any free content be released with the Megatech DLC? 

  • Yes. A free content update will be released alongside the paid DLC. We’ll break this down in detail at a later date. 

How far into the game should I progress before starting the Megatech DLC? 

  • You can access the Megatech DLC as soon as you start a new game. That said, the majority of this new content will be most relevant to players who have already advanced a fair bit into the tech tree.
