About

You’ve fled your home, 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 you may wish to forego a heroic journey entirely in favor of colonizing uncharted planets.

AI-powered picks based on gameplay, mechanics & feel

Terraria

Terraria

Like Starbound, Terraria offers a vast 2D pixel-art world ripe for exploration, building, and combat, but with a stronger emphasis on boss progression and item discovery that constantly pushes you to delve deeper.

No Man's Sky

No Man's Sky

Swap Starbound's 2D planets for fully explorable 3D ones, maintaining the core loop of space exploration, resource gathering, base building, and uncovering ancient mysteries across a truly boundless universe.

Subnautica

Subnautica

Instead of space, dive into an alien ocean, where survival, crafting, and exploration drive a compelling narrative of escape and discovery, much like Starbound's journey across the stars.
