Beyond These Stars was released on Oct 16, 2026 for Windows PC. It is available on Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store and Microsoft Store. The title has also been part of PC Game Pass since launch. Steam offers a German user interface and lists the single-player mode.

On Kewa's back, the Peeps build a city with homes, fields and workshops. The paths between production buildings affect the flow of goods. To use space efficiently, players can reshape the terrain, dig channels and plant forests.

As you progress, research unlocks new buildings and resources. This creates longer production chains and increases demand for goods from other star systems. The Peeps' contentment and Kewa's sensitive habitat set limits on expansion.

Steam lists Windows 10 64-bit as the OS and 7 GB of free storage. The minimum requirements there are a Core i5-6600 or Ryzen 3 3200G, 8 GB RAM, and a GTX 960 or Radeon RX 570. Recommended are 16 GB RAM, a Core i5-9600 or Ryzen 5 2600X, and an RTX 2070 or Radeon RX 6600 XT.

The giant space whale Kewa is the home and travel companion of the Peeps. It has its own needs and reacts to how the settlers treat its habitat. Overusing resources can damage the ecosystem and shrink the habitable area.

New farmland is created by laying down soil and channels. Trees provide material and encourage forests. Some of the resources can instead come from outposts, to protect Kewa's environment.

The Peeps explore further star systems and set up outposts on planets to gather resources that are scarce on Kewa. They can also trade with alien species and research technologies. Route planning also depends on the relationship with the living space whale.

Steam lists Beyond These Stars as a single-player game with a German user interface and subtitles. Cloud saves and achievements are supported. The listed accessibility options include adjustable text size, contrast options and saving at any time.
