Stars Reach

A sandbox science fiction MMO from Raph Koster's studio, with simulated, changeable planets, player-built towns and many crafting careers.

Overview

Stars Reach is a sandbox MMO from Playable Worlds, a studio led by Raph Koster, a designer known for Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxies. Players colonize planets in a far-future galaxy where the world itself is simulated: terrain can be dug and reshaped, ecosystems spread, and fire and water behave as part of the world.

The game is built around many career paths rather than combat alone. Players can be crafters, builders, explorers, entertainers or fighters, and a player-driven economy ties them together. Settlements and homes are built by players, and communities grow on shared planets.

Stars Reach entered early access on Steam in August 2026 as a one-time purchase and is still in development. Expect ongoing changes and new systems as early access continues.
