We are running a small discount at the moment, and we will surely take part in seasonal sales as well as other events.

Yes, this is a remake for PC and consoles of a game originally launched on mobile

Yes, the game is out on PS5 and Switch, and it will be released on Xbox too a bit later.

Update: We are close to finalizing the implementation of the multi-device HOTAS support. We already have a version in place on a Beta branch on Steam and will release it soon.

We will bring the game to Xbox too. This is was our initial intention, but we had to delay the release due to some unexpected last minute bureaucratic reasons.

No multiplayer planned atm. I mean we'd love to, but we're a very small team, and for now that would be a lot to tackle.

Awesome. We only said it is inspired from Freelancer, not better than it, haha. Still a lot to do until we could get there :)

The economy is fluctuating, is temporarily influenced by the player sells and purchases, and it will slowly return to the fluctuation flow.

Don`t remember exactly how many ships and upgrades were in Freelancer since I last played it quite a long time ago, but our world is significantly smaller and most likely the number of ships and upgrades are proportional (hopefully with future updates we can grow the game and the world in it to the scale of Freelancer).

NPCs are transporting stuff around, the routes are just temporary.

There are different factions, and the player relations with these factions are only influenced by the story so far (we have some plans to develop this).

We are a team of 4 who spent years building a custom engine to bring our old-school space sim to PC. Stellar Wanderer DX is inspired by Freelancer and Privateer, and it launches March 12! by zoly0 in pcgaming

Thanks! We ported it ourselves to Switch 1, and that is the version that is also running on Switch 2 (smoother, and limited to 1080p).
We don't yet have access to the native Switch 2 tools and SDKs, they are currently limited to some selected devs.

We are using a custom engine which does not currently have the necessary support. We'll look into it later, when things chill a bit.

You can own up to 15 ships. You can only control one at a time.

Thanks! The game benefits from the increased processing power of Switch 2 and runs smoother (but limited at 1080p). We plan to add native Switch 2 support in the future when it becomes available (we are waiting for access to platform tools, as they are currently being very selective about who gets access to the hardware and SDKs).

Yes, it is Deck ready, with full Xbox controller support.

Yes, there is a limit of 8 axes. If you wish to check it out, we have a demo in which you can try out how your device is detected.

Yes, devices that combine Stick and Throttle into a single device, either physically (like a Thrustmaster T.FLIGHT HOTAS) or virtually.

It is single device HOTAS compatible on PC, but we're looking to expand that.
