Coffee Stain Studios' first-person automation sim, Satisfactory, is gearing up for its full release this year, as it approaches the fifth anniversary of its early access debut. The game, which introduced a co-op, open-world twist to the resource exploitation genre, has successfully sold over 5.5 million copies since its launch in March 2019. Initially released as an Epic Games Store exclusive, Satisfactory later expanded to Steam, attracting a wider audience with its engaging blend of exploration and automation in a vibrant sci-fi setting.
The upcoming version 1.0 promises to enrich the Satisfactory experience with a brand-new narrative and an array of new features, building on the improvements brought by last November's Update 8, which transitioned the game to Unreal Engine 5. Coffee Stain Studios has committed to continued development post-launch, ensuring that Satisfactory's evolution doesn't stop at early access exit. Players eager to contribute to the final polishing phase can now sign up for a forthcoming closed beta, marking an exciting phase in Satisfactory's development journey.
