Solo or up to four-player co-op where you bolt together a fully modular spaceship — thrusters, cables, sensors, whatever holds — then launch it at unexplored planets and see what breaks first. Half the game is the build phase turning into a shouting match over ship design; the other half is finding out who was right when it explodes on approach. Released August 6, 2026 to 94% Very Positive reviews.

Approximately Up is your best chance to experience spaceflight in whatever you and your crew (singleplayer or co-op multiplayer with up to 4 players) can bolt together! Build ambitious spaceships, experimental machines, or anything in between — it’s entirely up to you. Control your creation from a first-person view right from the deck of your ship. Take on a story with around 200 hours of gameplay, complete challenging objectives, hunt achievements, face the dangers of space, and collect new components to expand your current spacecraft — or completely rethink it and build something new. One is never enough! Build spaceships!Everything begins with a single piece of frame and grows into a massive, complex ship built from thousands of components. Create automated systems, PID controllers, experiment with different input controllers, sensors, and meters — connect them to whatever you need, and let the magic (or chaos) happen! Once it looks ready (or not), hit launch and see what happens! Complete challenging objectives!Retrieve a package stuck in a giant tree. Crack open a mystic rock with a bomb. Fix a distant planet’s broken ionosphere to stop its extreme winds. Find mystic or radioactive flowers. Track down ancient mastodons, heat up a strange hexagonal crystal, or dive deep underwater ... Can you and your spaceship handle it all? Have a fun!Who forgot to connect that cable? Why is the thruster mounted backward? Are the solar panels enough? Does the door even have a button? Is the radar working? That’s where a lot of the fun begins. Play in co-op with up to 4 players and build complete spaceships, automated systems, logic circuits, PID controllers, and more. Every system matters, and even small design mistakes can turn into very real problems once you leave the station. Or jump into a Creative world with unrestricted building and create whatever comes to mind. Explore the new planets!Is the planet covered in oceans? What’s hiding beneath that thick atmosphere? Can you see the surface through those massive clouds? Everything’s waiting for you to find out! Explore 15 unique planets, each with its own look, feel, and dynamic soundtrack that changes in real time as you explore and make new discoveries! So how does it works?You start on Earth and slowly explore a system of 15 planets, each with its own size, gravity, atmosphere, temperature, and …
