After celebrating five years of space-filled fun and having over 11 million players since the Astroneer 1.0 release, the developer is ready to throw another planet into the game’s universe. Continuing the survival sandbox gameplay experience, this new DLC goes to extremes on this newest and largest planet in the game. New biomes, technology, gameplay features, and the game’s first true villain await.

In the Glitchwalkers DLC, players will be transported to the enormous world of Aeoluz. Located in a glitched solar system, players will be tasked with counter hacking Lyn and breaking firewalls in order to restore the ATP to normal functioning parameters.
This massive world hosts a variety of new surface and cave biomes for players to explore. A new tech tree along with modules offer new ways to progress and unlock technology both new and old. The Glitchwalkers DLC expands the Astroneer universe while keeping all the crafting, building, and exploration that players have experienced.
