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.

Really have to stick with it, writing this after my first full game, took me a good 15-20 hours of botyh trial and error, playing, watching videos and using a chat bot to figure out mechanics, and thats were you truly understand how amazing this game is, itys insanely overwhelming to begind with, screens and tab everywhere, how plantes work, how fleets work, how population works... you start getting your head around everything, it makes sense. Want ruthles space nazis who destroy empire and purge races from the galaxy, this game has it, want space islam who forcibly converts the galaxy and uses a super weapon called Mohammeds Dong to convert whole planets at once, this game has it, want to start an Empire, eventually evolving humanities pyschic traits, giving your leaders powers and your leader to become an immortal psionic god emperor, this game has it, enslave races, interagrate them, genocide them, use Psi Corps to control planets, use legions of Psi troopers to take over a planet with out damaging it much, Genietic super soliders, slave troops, battle driods, or unleash Xenomorphs that will do massive collateral damage. massive customisation on ships, fast attack , torpedo bombers, rail cruisers, battleships with mounted super cannons, flak cannons, pulse weapons, lasers, missiles, and more... and this is just the human race faction So glad I stuck with this, one of my new favourites, been years since I binged a game all weekend.

Amazing game... it takes a little bit to get into and the tutorial isn't very useful. Easiest way to get into the game is to go online and watch one of the 20 minute tutorials. Anything after that can be learned over time. Some of the DLC's are more useful/fun than others, but overall I just love getting more options. Always a new build, or strategy that I can play. Low hours on here, came from playing on the console version before switching to steam. So much further ahead on steam than console.
《群星》最可怕的不是外星人，也不是灭世危机，而是你晚上十点想着“再玩十分钟”，抬头发现已经凌晨三点了。 每次开局我都想认真扮演一个文明：规划母星、探索宇宙、友善外交，争取当银河里的正面人物。结果玩着玩着，不是因为边境摩擦开始疯狂造舰，就是发现隔壁种族长得不顺眼，最后莫名其妙走上了征服银河的道路。 我最喜欢的还是前中期。科研船一点点揭开星图，碰到奇怪事件、远古遗迹和陌生文明时，真的有一种在探索未知宇宙的感觉。外交、战争和帝国内政也会自然串成一段故事。哪怕最后输了，这一局发生过什么，我通常还能记很久。 缺点同样明显。新手第一次打开各种菜单，大概率会一脸懵；到了中后期，星球、人口、舰队和附庸一多，管理起来很容易从“银河皇帝”变成“宇宙居委会主任”。后期大规模战争也比较折磨电脑。再加上 DLC 数量确实不少，想把内容补齐并不便宜。 但如果你喜欢太空题材、经营发展、外交博弈，或者单纯喜欢自己编一段银河历史，《群星》还是很容易让人沉迷。它不一定是最好上手的策略游戏，却是少数能让我打完一局后，还想马上换个文明重新开档的游戏。 建议买完整版，缺dlc的话体验一般。
im still thinking ab it
10/10 game. My friend gave up having sex to play late night with the boys. Absolute GIga Chad!
Honestly a goated game, space AND mapping combined is just the sweet spot, dlcs are hella overpriced but other than that its a really goated game, since you can get mods in this game, you can substitute them for dlcs.
YES!!!
