October 20, on Windows PC via Steam. The date was announced in the official release date trailer (August 2026). Until launch day you can wishlist the game and play the free demo covering the Daegus opening.
Is there a demo?
Yes — a free demo has been live on the Steam store page since June 2026. It covers the game's opening on Daegus, the tropical oasis world: your first outpost, crew task assignment and the research loop. Demo progress does not carry over to the full game.
How much does the game cost?
Pricing had not been confirmed as of October 17, 2026 — the Steam store page will show the final price on launch day. Check the store page directly; we keep our game overview page updated with confirmed launch details.

Is Star Trek: Outposts Unknown multiplayer?
No — the store page lists it as a single-player game. It is a narrative-driven builder: you command the U.S.S. Resonant and its crew through the story of the X'Lehari system and the Tetryon Rift mystery.
