About Starbound

Starbound is Chucklefish’s sandbox. Steam: you have fled home with a damaged ship, beam to the planet below, repair the vessel, and push out into a procedurally generated universe.

Steam: pick 1 of 7 playable races, decorate and expand your starship, colonize planets, collect tenant gifts, and capture unique monsters. Three modes: Casual, Survival, and Hardcore (permadeath). Craft thousands of objects. Steam Workshop. All content is available in online drop-in/drop-out co-op.

Steam categories: Single-player, Multi-player, Online Co-op, Online PvP, Cross-Platform Multiplayer. Steam does not publish a same-machine session category. Payment covers the standard game. Starbound - Soundtrack (268090) stays a separate Steam music app.

The loop is beam down, farm or dungeon-run, return to the ship, then jump to the next world — solo or online drop-in co-op. Kinguin marks this Region Free Steam offer valid until June 2027.
