Chucklefish would like to invite Xbox Insiders to join the Starbound Demo, starting today Wednesday 28th August – Wednesday 4th September! The playtest will be available to both Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S players in all regions, but space is limited so users will be accepted on a first come, first served basis!
What is Starbound?
Starbound, a sci-fi sandbox adventure, available for the first time on console!
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 decide 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. The choice is yours!
To find out more about Starbound, check out the official website.
