Featuring exciting single-player content, the StarRupture playtest will put you firmly into the treacherous world of Arcadia-7. Simply click the “Request Access” button now on our Steam Page and enjoy it until July 31st.

While StarRupture is a co-op game at heart, where up to four players work together, we also want to ensure that the game is fun and engaging for those who play solo.
This playtest will introduce you to the core elements of StarRupture, ranging from base building and exploration to survival and combat.

Welcome to StarRupture, an intense first-person open-world survival game where you’ll build sprawling industrial bases, harvest valuable resources, and battle alien monsters. The planet is gorgeous, dangerous, and constantly evolving. Exploration, combat, and creativity are your keys to survival.

Meet Chris Bonnet - aka Prisoner 0212 - aka Scientist. He will be the character you play during the single-player playtest. You will have the opportunity to get to know him a little better during your time on Arcadia-7.


The playtest kicks off July 29 at 10:00 AM CEST / 1:00 AM PDT and ends July 31 at 7:00 PM CEST / 10:00 AM PDT. To join, just head over to our Steam page and click “Request Access”. It’s that easy—and yes, it’s 100% free!

The StarRupture Single-Player Playtest features over three hours of gameplay split between an early slice of the game featuring the game's core mechanics, a guided tutorial, and a free play option with map restrictions (the Playtest covers around 15% of the Early Access build map), but it’s a first taste of the fun that awaits in StarRupture.

Some gameplay mechanics will be locked out for now (and left for you to fully explore when the game launches in Early Access this Autumn), such as wildlife, base attack and defense, corporate assignments and rewards over a certain level (6-7 depending on the corporation), the Forgotten Engine, some weapon unlocks with mods, and enemies. So don’t worry about the spoilers, the game will have plenty of fresh and new elements once it launches!

The Playtest supports English VO and interface localisation, and the full list of supported languages for StarRupture’s launch in Early Access is available on the game’s Steam Page.

There is no time limit on your session—play as much (or as little) as you want! However, no co-op for now—we’re focusing on single-player balance and stability.

  PLAYTEST BUILD KNOWN ISSUES
  
  Menu & Saves
  
  1. Switching between tabs in the Options menu randomly causes some settings to become greyed out.
     
  2. The save file is not created in the slot selected by the player; it always saves to the first save slot on the left.
  
  Gameplay
  
  1. A crash may occur when attempting to place multiple Supported Platforms at once.
     
  2. A crash may occur when upgrading or deconstructing Rails.
     
  3. The game may temporarily freeze when placing multiple Supported Platforms for the first time in a session.
     
  4. Drones may stop delivering items to constructions. This can be resolved by deconstructing and rebuilding the affected rails and machines.
     
  5. When loading a save made during the Tutorial, the Tutorial widget does not appear until an objective is progressed.
     
  6. Dropped items stack up to a maximum of 100; any items beyond that limit disappear when dropped.
     
  7. If the Player obtains items with a full inventory, the excess items fall to the ground and may clip into each other.
     
  8. Deconstructing the entire base using the Deconstruction option in the Base Core spawns a container tower that may be unreachable by the Player.
     
  9. After reloading a session, all Quartz may disappear if the game was saved near a Quartz deposit. Quartz will reappear during the next Heat Wave.
     
  10. Unequipping the Building Tool while walking results in interrupting Player's movement.
      
  11. Hydration and Calories warning icons do not light up after loading a save.
      
  12. Machines set to OFF are turned back ON after reloading the save.
      
  13. The autosave function currently works only at the start and at the end of the tutorial.
  Visuals
  
  1. The Map currently uses placeholder visuals.
     
  2. Enemies may occasionally appear slightly blurry or may flicker.
     
  3. Upon loading a save made during a Heat Wave, the critical temperature state and some visual effects may be missing.
  
  Miscellaneous
  
  1. Dialogues may overlap sporadically.
