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.
Add-ons
Each DLC is estimated with the same model as a game, then summed — a modeled figure, not reported DLC sales.
Sums Steam only; Xbox, GOG publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.
Updates
Build ids and update times come straight from Steam's PICS — the same source SteamDB reads. Patch history grows as we record new builds.

开把群星才打了一半，玩文明6的舍友已经关电脑睡了。 他开荒的时候我在开荒，他打架的时候我在开荒，他都科技胜利了我还在开荒。后来仔细一想，我是星际时代，他是古代文明，天上一天地上千年，倒也说得过去。
How about fixing the bugs of existing content before launching even more buggy messes? I can understand some glitches, but there are serious, even game-breaking bugs left in the game, including for content that you're asking extra money for. The game in its current state can't be recommended to others.

Paradox 你们平时真的有看评论区吗？ 选择语言为中文的时候 能不能将Complete special projects改为 完成特殊项目 中文翻译，等等 大哥这半年多了，这么明显的问题，更新了这么多次，一次都没有改啊。
于我而言感觉P社游戏最好的点并不只停留在游戏性上，而是他们给mod制作留的各种接口，写模组非常方便，想玩什么自己写( 但同样最不好的点也在这，图片素材格式dds得自己转，无论是视频还是音频素材调用都有点麻烦，得单独写个文件。 还有事件链，写个事件链两个文件夹来回跑...同时还得去写本地化，事件，事件链效果，本地化文本三个文本页来回跑，不过这点其他游戏也是这样就是了，无限嵌套。 感觉这部分做的最好的还得是假鱼，潜渊症的mod用的是xml，完全没有嵌套问题，虽然接口给的不多但本身游戏内容也没多少能自定义的东西，无非是改改数值，自由度确实相对就较低了，各有各的利弊吧。
Very disappointed to see genAI being used in Stellaris. This was a great game, but unless this changes it will now be relinquished to the depths of my library, and I will be providing no further support to Paradox.

I really wish I could just outright not update my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game because every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time I update it breaks everything and I need to redo my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ modlist. ♥♥♥♥ you, Valve. ♥♥♥♥ you and your stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mandatory updates. And also ♥♥♥♥ you Paradox for breaking ♥♥♥♥ every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ update. And also ♥♥♥♥ you for making 90% of the game locked behind DLC because you're a greedy lot of bastards who only care about money like some sort of inbred Ferengi cuck. Go to hell, you waste of space. Don't purchase this game if you intend on actually having fun. The base game is dull and you need either mods that KEEP ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BREAKING WITH EACH ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ UPDATE or spend 500 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ DOLLARS on DLC that should have been a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ update.
Waste of money! Don't even try to buy all dlcs, you would be wasting money on freezing game in which 1 day can last for 3 to 4 seconds in late game!
Game is not in a good place at all. Population is the foundation of the entire economy, and population growth is about fifty times slower than everything else in the game. If you waited to fill all your job slots on your planets, endgame year would happen first.
