Updated galaxy scale to the confirmed Early Access launch wording and post-launch tense
SpaceCraft is an online space exploration and building game developed and published by Shiro Games. Players journey through a vast universe of thousands of solar systems and planets, mine and craft resources, design and build their own ships, and trade with other players in a galaxy that evolves through player actions. The game launched in Early Access on June 11, 2026 for PC.
SpaceCraft blends open-ended space exploration with deep building and a player-driven economy. You pilot a spaceship through systems filled with planets, asteroid fields, abandoned space stations, and derelict ships, scan and mine for raw materials, craft those materials into ship parts, and assemble custom vessels. You can play toward several fantasies at once: a lone explorer charting forgotten worlds, a wealthy trader working the marketplace, an industrial tycoon automating production, or the leader of a powerful Corporation.
Pillar | Summary |
|---|---|
Pilot a ship in real time through thousands of star systems, moving seamlessly from deep space to planet surfaces and jumping across the galaxy with Faster-Than-Light technology. | |
Scan systems and planets, then use tools and your ship to extract raw materials from planets, asteroids, and abandoned structures. | |
Turn raw materials into valuable refined materials, components, and ship parts. | |
Assemble crafted parts into custom ships, from small nimble vessels to heavy transport cruisers, with every component affecting performance. | |
Buy ready-made ship designs from other players to build instantly, or sell your own perfected designs. | |
Buy and sell resources, ship parts, and blueprints in a marketplace where every transaction affects prices. | |
Create or join Corporations, assign roles, and collaborate from small crews to vast commercial empires. | |
Build and expand planetary bases, transforming outposts into fully automated resource hubs. | |
Use drones and cargo ships to automate mining, interplanetary logistics, and supply chains. |
SpaceCraft is built around a shared, persistent universe that, at the Early Access launch, spans multiple sectors, hundreds of star systems, and thousands of planets. From mining to crafting, trading to combat, every action influences the world around you, and player choices shape the economy, the environment, and the balance of power. The marketplace is fully player-driven, so supply and demand move prices as players buy and sell.
SpaceCraft is a PC title released through Steam. It entered Early Access on June 11, 2026, after an original target of May 20, 2026. For full details see Release Date and Platforms, Early Access, and System Requirements.
See Getting Started for a new-player walkthrough of the early game.
SpaceCraft has a backstory the developer has shared: humanity, nearly wiped out in a struggle against an enemy called the Tripods, escaped through a mysterious portal to a distant part of the universe and must now rebuild and found a new home. The player begins as an ex-convict working for an organization called The Company, starting on one of its space stations with a single ship and no money. See Setting and Story for the full premise and Space Stations for the hubs where you refine and trade.
Advancement runs on two systems, a Permits tech tree and several Experience paths (Exploration, Technology, Science, and a planned Combat path). See Progression: Permits and Experience.
