Space-cat survival and base-building game MewnBase has now left Early Access, for those of you who love your smaller games it's a nice pick.

It's been a long road getting here but it seems we're inching closer to Cloud Imperium Games actually releasing Squadron 42, their cinematic single-player space adventure set in the Star Citizen universe. They also talked up Vulkan support with their ongoing tech work.

Stellaris Astral Planes is the latest main expansion announced today for Paradox Interactive's popular space strategy game, and this one sound delightfully different to their previous additions and quite exciting.

Deimos Games announced they're shutting down but their games code is already open source, and now both Helium Rain and Astral Shipwright will be going free to play.

Well this is quite an expected update, No Man's Sky - Echoes is live as another free upgrade for players and it's a pretty big update for the game full of new content.

Coming soon they say, a fresh big update to No Man's Sky is on the way and they're celebrating 7 years since the release with a new video.

You can get a whole lot of crazy space sci-fi in this Spaced Out Humble Bundle and there's some really good picks. So here's what you can get and what compatibility to expect on Steam Deck and desktop Linux.

ΔV: Rings of Saturn from developer Kodera Software is a physics-based hard-science mining sim, and the 1.0 release is out now.

Need your 4x space fix but find the likes of Stellaris just a bit too long? Perhaps keep an eye on the upcoming release of New Stars.

A big one for Stellaris is here with the Stellaris: Galactic Paragons expansion launched along with the 3.8 "Gemini" patch for all players.

Starsector is something quite special, originally called Starfarer it's been in development for quite a few years now and a big new release is now available.

Stellaris: Galactic Paragons is the next expansion for my favourite space strategy game from Paradox Interactive and it's coming May 9th.

Egosoft have just released the next major expansion for X4: Foundations named X4: Kingdom End, plus a major free upgrade is also out now that brings full Steam Deck Verified support.

ROCKFISH Games have now launched EVERSPACE 2 and it looks awesome! One of their original Kickstarter promises did not make it though, with Native Linux support being cancelled as they will support it with Proton instead.

No Man's Sky works great on Linux desktop and Steam Deck with Proton and now I need to jump back in because the Interceptor update sounds great.

After quite a while of waiting, Ominux Games have released The Wilderness update for space colony building sim Starmancer.

Relic Space combines together smooth turn-based movement (think like Jupiter Hell) with tactical combat, RPG mechanics and 4X elements.

No Man's Sky has another big update out now that includes an overhaul of quite a few features like much better VR support, and a new Expedition.

If you love free and open source games keep an eye on the 2D space sim Endless Sky, which just got a new Beta release with version 0.10.0 giving some fresh gameplay improvements.

For those of you curious on what's happening with EVERSPACE 2 for Linux, ROCKFISH Games have given an official update on what to expect.
