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.

This is one of the best civ builders I have ever played. I am a Master of Orion 2 veteran. It was my go too space builder for over a decade. Stellaris offers so many challenging aspects, it truly shines. If you don't know anything about Stellaris, I suggest watching a couple videos of people explaining bits and pieces of it. My favorite things about Stellaris have to be how much you can personalize your species traits as well as your pathing in game. I have played terminator races, devouring swarm races, collective consciousness as a plant species, large and unruly lizards, and my latest play was an Aquatic race with Ocean Paradise home world. There is just so much you can do. The game also shines as a multi player game. I have never jumped into a game with a stranger through the multiplayer functions. However I have waged some very successful campaigns with friends that took weeks if not months to finish due to our real life schedules. To come up with something I dislike about the game? I can't really think of anything other than one thing that just kinda doesn't make sense. My current game is a race or high unity, orbital habitat home "planet," bats. I guess it would be cool if they had made a nocturnal trait that modified them somehow. So, to orbital stations instead of planets it was. The biggest things I can suggest to new players is make sure you focus on unity and research early game. It may seem like the thing to do is rapid expansion. Well, that is fine, but you have to make sure you are producing unity and lots of research. Basically, if you are thinking of building something, mouseover and read what each thing does. You can flip your economy several different ways to your advantage, you just have to find what works for your species. All in all, 11 out of 10, hands down, no questions asked.
Only a few hours played so far. I will certainly update my review later on. Starting this game is overwhelming. It lacks a proper tutorial but that was expected with the amount of in game systems. Lots of reading and videos watched. As I cannot fully review this game yet, I will still give it a thumbs up for the it's quality. It is a quality product. The support it still receives 10 years after release is also incredible. The way they handle DLCs is questionable but it isn't mandatory. You can learn the base game and slowly buy the DLCs you want to customize your experience.
Great sandbox game
Can't play the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game thx to the garbage launcher

Really love the game, but if you ever need someone who actually knows how to use AI for lore and quests, hire me...
