has released its first paid expansion after five years of free releases and development. Glitchwalkers is a change of pace for Astroneer, a story and character-focused expansion that takes the varied mechanics of the old game onto a new planet with its own separate progression and save file.

Long-time Astroneer players will also dread and/or celebrate the return of a feature from Astroneer's earliest early access days: Storms! The new glitched storms aren't exactly like the old, dangerous dust storms of the Early Access period that'd blow you and all your unsecured stuff away, but they are pretty cool.

System Era Softworks says that in addition to the release of storms there's also new unannounced and hidden content added to the base game of Astroneer. Which is pretty bonkers, honestly, because they've spent years giving this game big free content updates past the 1.0 release into Early Access from 2019. That's past the three years in Early Access!Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.
