Explore the vast, infinite universe for the first time on console, with all-new controller support, optimised for Xbox.
London, UK – 24th October 2024. – Chucklefish today announce that their debut title, Starbound, has landed on Xbox consoles!
As its first foray onto consoles, Starbound launches for the first time on Xbox with full controller support, and a toggleable auto-aim accessibility feature. Players can explore the universe with a crew of up to 4 friends. Starbound on Xbox will contain all the free content updates from the PC version.
About Starbound:
You’ve fled your home after an alien attack, only to find yourself lost in space with a damaged ship. Your only option is to beam down to the planet below and gather the resources you need to repair your ship and set off to explore the vast, infinite universe…
In Starbound, you create your own story – there’s no wrong way to play! You may choose to save the universe from the forces that destroyed your home, uncovering greater galactic mysteries in the process, or forego a heroic journey entirely in favour of colonising uncharted planets.
Settle down and farm the land, become an intergalactic landlord, hop from planet to planet collecting rare creatures, or delve into dangerous dungeons and lay claim to extraordinary treasures.
Discover ancient temples and modern metropolises, trees with eyes and mischievous penguins. Make use of hundreds of materials and over two thousand objects to build a sleepy secluded cabin in the woods, a medieval castle, or an underwater arcade.
Features
- Choose from one of 7 playable intergalactic races and customise your character
- Save the universe in a story campaign featuring unique characters, bosses, dungeons and quests!
- You’re the captain of your very own starship! Customise, expand and commandeer it to explore a procedurally generated universe
- Explore the universe with a crew of up to 4 friends
- Establish a colony on uncharted planets and collect gifts from your tenants – if they like you, they may even ask to join your ship crew!
- Three game modes – Casual (no need to eat), Survival (eat to survive/drop items on death) and Hardcore (permadeath)
- Craft thousands of objects – building materials, armor, weapons, furniture and more!
- Capture unique monsters to fight alongside you or keep in your planetary zoo
- All content is available in online drop-in/drop-out co-op
- Toggle auto-aim at any time – a new accessibility feature introduced for controllers
- Complete with all free content updates from the PC version
