Featuring exciting single-player content, the StarRupture playtest will put you firmly into the treacherous world of Arcadia-7.

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.

Running from July 29th to July 31st, this single-player playtest offers the first exciting taste of StarRupture gameplay, and you can now apply for access via Steam on our main product page over here. Selected players will receive a Steam confirmation that they are eligible to play at the playtest kickoff on July 29th.


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—solo or with up to 3 friends. The planet is gorgeous, dangerous, and constantly evolving. Exploration, combat, and creativity are your keys to survival.

The first closed playtest kicks off July 29 and ends July 31. 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.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to our fresh and exciting Developer Update. This month, we’re inviting you to check out our co-op mode in action, and we’re sharing more info about the effects of the scorching fire wave, and how you can unlock your inner interior designer.

After publishing the newest extensive look at StarRupture co-op gameplay video, we have received a ton of feedback and comments! Thank you for being so active, this helps us understand what you’re most excited about in the game and lets us answer at least some of your questions in this Developer Update.

The event of the Ruptura’s Fire Wave brings a lot of danger for every living being on the Arcadia-7 planet. But you know what they say - “better safe than sorry”. And that’s where Base Core comes into play.

The passage of the wave of fire does not mean that our base will be wiped out - thanks to the brilliant invention of the Selenian Corp - Base Cores. Base Cores - crucial for setting up your base - protect and cool down the buildings within their perimeter.

You will also be able to level up the Base Cores so they will be able to restore the factory operations even faster… but it will come at a price, and we’re not necessarily only speaking here about the resources needed to do it…

In StarRupture, you and your friends will be able to not only scratch the itch of creating your own, custom factories but also cool and chilling-looking habitats.
The Habitats you will build across the planet’s surface will be your safe spots. They’re not only perfect hideouts to stock & refill your supplies and plan your next actions, but also great places to hide from the scorching heat or waves of enemies.

With the building tool, you will be able to create your habitats on the flat lands of the planet, or even more wicked designs on the hill sides.
You will be able to customize your habitats with additional segments and combine them with vertical or horizontal connectors, add additional airlocks for entrances, and viewports for an extra look at the vistas.

You will also be able to freely decide where to place your storage, progression, and crafting machines. Hopefully, your vision will align with that of your teammates, but if it doesn’t, you can always build another habitat in a different location.

We can’t wait to see the creative designs of your habitats you will make in StarRupture.

In StarRupture, you will be able to take your 3 friends on a mission in which you will extract, automate, and ship the resources from the Arcadia-7 planet.

You will mark a new chapter in the history of humanity - and the future of the Claywood Corporation - the company that sent you across the galaxy to explore and document this undiscovered world.

As you progress further, you will uncover different resources that need different machinery to collect them. They have one thing in common, though - Drone Rails. They will not only function as a transportation route to connect them with other machinery or storage buildings, but also as a means to transfer the energy needed to power them.

Last month, we showed you the monoliths - now… we’d like to show you how they’ve changed!

They’re now much harder to find - that’s for sure! And they are very much connected to the base defense… but we will reveal more about it later on.

And that’s all for our StarRupture Developer Update in June - we hope you’ve enjoyed the never-before-seen content and that you’re hungry for more!

Stay tuned for our fresh & exciting updates on socials and right here on Steam as well, as we’re on our road to the Autumn 2025 Early Access launch.

Until next time,
Creepy Jar Team
