After 5 years in Steam Early Access, sci-fi sandbox Space Engineers is preparing for a full release and server wipe.
Since Space Engineers is going out of Early Access on Thursday, February 28th, we will be wiping our servers on Monday, February 25th, 10 am UTC. Our servers will be down for 4 days.
The “Major Overhaul of Survival” update will include a variety of quality of life improvements. It is going live on Thursday, February 28. This is going to be a big day for Space Engineers because it also marks the game moving out of Early Access.
Space Engineers is a sandbox game about engineering, construction, exploration and survival in space and on planets. Players build space ships, space stations, planetary outposts of various sizes and uses (civil and military), pilot ships and travel through space to explore planets and gather resources to survive. Featuring both creative and survival modes, there is no limit to what can be built, utilized and explored.
The game features a realistic, volumetric-based physics engine: everything in the game can be assembled, disassembled, damaged and destroyed. The game can be played either in single or multiplayer modes.
