Outerstellar is a sci-fi survival PvP game set on a dangerous planet marked by the remains of failed colonists. Its persistent world brings changing weather and time of day to a barren landscape, while abandoned structures hold resources and secrets. The premise puts exploration alongside the immediate challenge of making an environment described as unfit for human life survivable.
Players harvest plants and ore, scavenge abandoned areas, and use research and crafting to shape their approach. A research tree lets teams prioritize technologies around their chosen style of play, while base building extends beyond shelter: players can upgrade, power, and equip a base to control local resources. Finding or unlocking items also opens deeper access to mysterious structures, linking exploration with progression.
That combination of cooperative planning and direct player conflict defines the game’s format. Outerstellar supports multiplayer PvP, and its crafting includes advanced weapons for defense or raids against other players.
