About ASTRONEER

ASTRONEER poster

ASTRONEER carries you into the 25th century, an Intergalactic Age of Discovery where explorers brave hostile worlds to unearth rare finds and unravel the universe's secrets. This indie adventure is a space sandbox at heart, letting players team up to establish bases above or below the surface, craft vehicles for interplanetary travel, and mould the landscape itself into whatever they imagine.

The standout tool is the terrain deformer, which treats the ground like clay. With it you can carve tunnels toward a planet's core, raise ramps into the sky, or sculpt sprawling megaliths purely from the environment around you. Creativity and ingenuity, more than raw firepower, are what keep you thriving out here.

Exploration spans a solar system of seven distinctive planets, each one fully deformable and traversable from its spherical surface down through winding cave systems to a mysterious core. Every world hosts its own surface and cave biomes, layering fresh challenges onto each journey. Building is intuitive too, with components and objects that snap together to form bases and vehicles. On PC, it's a relaxed yet endlessly inventive playground for solo and cooperative explorers alike.
