About
Get ready to explore, discover and interact with a multitude of species as you journey among the stars. Forge a galactic empire by sending out science ships to survey and explore, while construction ships build stations around newly discovered planets. Discover buried treasures and galactic wonders as you spin a direction for your society, creating limitations and evolutions for your explorers. Alliances will form and wars will be declared.
Like all our Grand Strategy games, the adventure evolves with time. Because free updates are a part of any active Paradox game, you can continue to grow and expand your empire with new technologies and capabilities. What will you find beyond the stars? Only you can answer that.
Stellaris now includes the base game, three expansion packs, and a collection of digital goods.
Stellaris: Chart a vast, procedurally generated galaxy where every star system holds a new mystery to uncover or an alien civilization to encounter. Forge a unique empire: from your first warp jump to galactic domination, you decide whether the universe remembers you as a benevolent pioneer or a relentless conqueror.
Utopia: Unlock the full potential of your empire with this expansion focused on the evolution of society. Whether you're building mega-structures or ascending to a higher plane of existence, Utopia helps you create a future that’s as bright as the stars themselves.
Synthetic Dawn Story Pack: Take command of a Machine Empire and reshape the galaxy in your own image. Will you lead your mechanical creations to peaceful coexistence, or will the rise of synthetic life spell the end for organics?
Humanoids Species Pack: the most-played phenotype now gains more variety with unique civics and a new origin. Along with their own unique ship class, new portraits, and more, there’s never been a better time to explore the future of humanity.
And on top of this, the Digital Collector’s Book, a Signed Wallpaper, a Unique Forum Avatar and Icon!
Every game begins with a civilization that has just discovered the means to travel between stars and is ready to explore the galaxy. Have your science ships survey and explore anomalies, leading you into a myriad of quests, introducing strange worlds with even stranger stories and discoveries that may completely change your outcome.
With characteristically complex unique planets and celestial bodies, you will enter a whirlwind of spectacles in a highly detailed universe.
Through customization and procedural generation, you will encounter infinitely varied races. Choose positive or negative traits, specific ideologies, limitations, evolutions or anything you can imagine. Interact with others through the advanced diplomacy system. Diplomacy is key in a proper grand strategy adventure. Adjust your strategy to your situation through negotiation and skill.
An eternal cycle of war, diplomacy, suspicions and alliances await you. Defend or attack with fully customizable war fleets, where adaptation is the key to victory. Choose from an array of complex technologies when designing and customizing your ships with the complex ship designer. You have a multitude of capabilities to choose from to meet the unknown quests that await.
Grow and expand your empire with thousands of randomly generated planet types, galaxies, quests and monsters lurking in space.
Customize your Empire! The characters you choose, be it a murderous mushroom society or an engineering reptile race, can be customized with traits like ethics, type of technology, form of preferred space travel, type of habitat, philosophies and more. The direction of the game is based on your choices.

В этой игре можно найти фембоя, если вы не нашли фембоя, значит вы фембой
Even after years, the endgame is still plagued by severe lag, regardless of your PC's hardware. There's little point in adding more game systems if the game itself isn't properly optimized. Until the performance issues are addressed, it's hard to recommend.
♥♥♥♥♥♥ ска лейтгейм. старый уёбский движок для одноядерных процессоров превращает игру в забег на скорость пока процессор не перестанет обрабатывать каждый тик по секунде. а эти ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ парадоксы длс клипают да фичи на клаузвиц накидывают с костылями. самое обидное игра то пиздатая, е из-за движка нулевых ♥♥♥♥♥ доиграть не можешь, максимум просто уменьши галактику до 5 звёзд и летай там как ебланг
Unless you buy DLC it feels like playing a demo
The new nomad features are entirely broken. Not only are they chronically underpowerd and unable to properly defend themself, the sheild debug on their mothership is dumb, the influence cost for everything is chronic and makes them horrifically unscalable, and the new automation mechanics, whilst better than the old dynamics are broken and sent me directly into the enemy. Just dumb, fix it, and test stuff before release, it's not hard!!!
This game is your interstellar gate to every star. First, trek from your homeworld to that first star and begin your expanse into the wider galaxy. Every fifth planet, moon, or heavenly body has some element or anomaly to explore. Water worlds, volcanic planets, and every other type of world exists from dune to ice, fight pirates and become the avatar of your chosen species, then file forth to show resident aliens all around you that x quality you have that will conquer or charm the universe. Galactic councils form, fleets battle among the stars, galactic wars break out, and you rise anew or fall hopeless in this fantastic sci-fi 4X game.
新版本工程船和科研船跟你妈连体婴是的，非得挤在一个星系建造，调查，还得一个个点
The gradual enshittification of Stellaris through every new DLC is something that needs to be studied by future video game developers.
Good game big planets
Came from console a few years ago and now the game is stupid and they completely changed the game and all the mechanics and not in a good way. and not having a rollback option for the game before all the cancerous updates is wild.
