Starseeker Early Access set June 11

System Era Softworks set June 11 for the Early Access launch of Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions, giving the co-op space game a firm release date after previously targeting 2026. The date was published May 21 in an official post on the game’s website and repeated in store and trailer materials. The release is broader than the initial context suggested: the official announcement and multiple platform listings say the game is coming to PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2. The companies also said Early Access will launch at $29.99. ### Which platforms are actually confirmed for June 11? The May 21 announcement from System Era and publisher Devolver Digital lists PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 for the June 11 Early Access debut. That matters because some early summaries mentioned only PC, PS5 and Switch 2, but the official materials and third-party listings include Xbox as well. Steam’s store page also reflects the game’s current positioning as a multiplayer-focused release in the Astroneer universe. The page describes it as a new game centered on cooperative expeditions, discovery and shared objectives aboard the ESS Starseeker. ### What is Starseeker, exactly? System Era is pitching Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions as a standalone game set in the Astroneer universe rather than a direct expansion. (blog.starseekergame.com) The official description says players launch expeditions from the ESS Starseeker space station to the planet Tephra, where they complete missions, gather resources, craft items and advance through reputation paths while following an ongoing story. (store.steampowered.com) The Early Access version is described by the developer as a “fully playable” online multiplayer game with cross-platform play and cross-progression. That framing suggests System Era is treating June 11 as the start of a live development cycle rather than a limited technical test. ### What will be in Early Access on day one? The official roadmap says the launch build will include expeditions to Tephra, hundreds of missions and tasks, item crafting, reputation progression and narrative content. (blog.starseekergame.com) System Era also said it plans to expand the game after launch with additional updates covering new regions, events, story content, gear and mechanics. A trailer released alongside the date announcement shows traversal and co-op action built around planetary objectives, alien hazards and shared station-based progression. (blog.starseekergame.com) Trailer descriptions published by outlets carrying the video repeat the June 11 date and the four-platform launch lineup. ### Is there anything players can try before June 11? June 4 is the next date on the calendar. Gematsu, citing the official announcement, reported that a public playtest begins that day across PC, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and that progress from the test will carry over into the Early Access release. (blog.starseekergame.com) That carryover detail is one of the clearest practical takeaways for players deciding whether to jump in early. (youtube.com) It means the June 4 test is being positioned less as a disposable beta and more as the opening step into the live game. That is an inference from the carryover language in the announcement. ### How does this fit into the Astroneer franchise? (gematsu.com) System Era first introduced Starseeker in 2025 as a separate multiplayer project inside the Astroneer setting. The earlier announcement said the game was planned as a multi-platform release in 2026 and invited players to follow development through beta access updates. June 11 now gives that plan a concrete release point. (gematsu.com) Before then, the next public step is the June 4 playtest, followed a week later by the $29.99 Early Access launch on Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2.
