The cooperative game Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions is preparing for its early access launch on June 11. Those interested can try it out beforehand during a public phase starting June 4 on PC, PS5, Switch 2, and Xbox Series. Best of all, progress will carry over to the final version, combining space exploration, planetary missions, and combat.
How progress transfer works between the beta and the final game 🚀
The public test will begin on June 4 and last a week, granting access to a portion of the star map and several initial missions. The development team has confirmed that save data will migrate seamlessly to the early access version. This includes unlocked items, ship upgrades, and experience points. Servers will be active on all platforms, with cross-play support between PC and consoles.
Spoiler: space is still very big and empty 🌌
Of course, they promise you'll be able to explore planets, fight creatures, and build bases. But if we've learned anything from other space games, it's that 80% of the time you'll be searching for a rare resource while your ship runs out of fuel. At least this time, you can drag three friends along on the mission so they can suffer with you. That said, progress is saved, so there's no excuse to give up.
