Welcome to the Christmas Universe
Astronauts, buckle up! With Astroneer, this year's holiday season is about to get even more exciting. This charming base-building space adventure, which has already captivated us with its blend of exploration and technological upgrades, is now getting us into the Christmas spirit. And why not? Who said you can't celebrate Christmas in outer space?
Astroneer: A Stellar Experience for Sandbox Fans
For those who are not familiar with Astroneer, here's a brief summary: You start with a simple loop of gathering and building, similar to Minecraft or Terraria. But as you progress in the game, it becomes about advancing your technology and exploring to access more essential resources. These resources are located on other planets within the game's solar system. Sounds like an exciting alternative to No Man's Sky? It certainly is!
Winter Update for Astroneer
System Era Softworks, the developers of Astroneer, gave the game a major upgrade in June - the Astroneer Custom Games Update. This gives you more control than ever before over how you play. Now, as the days get shorter and the first snow falls, it's time to cozy up indoors with the new Astroneer Project Cheer Delivery Event.
Festive Preparations
During the event, your tethers will be adorned with colorful holiday lights, and you'll have the opportunity to send all sorts of goods through the EXO Request Platform. Have you already got your base up and running? Then you probably already have one. If not, you can easily print one with a few resources.
Collect and Trade Gifts
Every item you submit will earn you reward points. Once you've collected enough points, you can exchange them for various packages. There's even the Holiday Throwback Bundle - a great way to catch up on cosmetics from past events. And of course, there's also a new Rockstar Palette and Cage Suit.
Jump in and Join the Fun
The Astroneer Project Cheer Delivery Event runs from Saturday, December 2, 2023, to Tuesday, January 16, 2024. Astroneer is available on Steam or the Microsoft Store, and can also be played for free through the Xbox app if you're a subscriber to Microsoft's PC Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate services.
