Common questions about SpaceCraft, the online space exploration and building game from Shiro Games.

What is SpaceCraft?

SpaceCraft is an online space exploration and building game. You explore a vast universe of thousands of solar systems and planets, mine and craft resources, design and build ships, and trade with other players in a galaxy that evolves through player actions. See Overview.

When does it release?

It launches in Early Access on June 11, 2026, after an original target of May 20, 2026. A Beta is scheduled to run from May 20, 2026. See Release Date and Platforms. Beta invitation waves are scheduled for May 20 and June 8, 2026, and a single player Demo and a Playtest can be requested ahead of launch.

What platforms is it on?

SpaceCraft is a PC game released through Steam, with Windows as the supported operating system. No console versions have been announced.

Can I play solo, or is it multiplayer only?

Both. The game lists single-player along with multiplayer and online co-op, so you can explore and build alone or team up with others. See Corporations and Co-Op.

What are Corporations?

Corporations are player groups you can create or join to collaborate at a larger scale, assigning roles and dividing tasks across interplanetary operations. See Corporations and Co-Op.

Does it have PvP?

At Early Access launch, combat is player versus environment, against threats such as space pirates and hostile planet creatures. Direct player versus player combat is not part of the Early Access launch; the developer has discussed a possible consent based PvP option for the future but has not confirmed it for the current build. See Combat.

How does the economy work?

The economy is player-driven. You buy and sell resources, ship parts, and blueprints, and each marketplace transaction affects prices. See Trading and the Player-Driven Economy.

How long will it stay in Early Access?

The developer expects at least six months in Early Access, with the exact length depending on feedback and development progress. See Early Access.

How much does it cost?

The launch price had not been publicly announced at the time of writing. The developer plans to gradually raise the price at the full 1.0 release. See Editions and Pre-Order.

What do I need to run it?

At minimum, Windows 10 64-bit with an Intel i3 8350K, 8 GB RAM, a GeForce 1060, and 25 GB of storage. See System Requirements for recommended specs.
