Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.71/day in the week to Sep 7 → 24.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Welcome home! The award-winning sci-fi city builder is back - remastered, expanded, and more stunning than ever. Your mission: colonize Mars and survive the process, from exploration and infrastructure to welcoming human colonists and achieving long-term stability. There are new challenges to overcome, new strategies to plan, and now with an upgraded look and feel for a new generation of explorers.
All you need for this relaunched mission to create a thriving Martian settlement is a steady supply of resources, oxygen, decades of training, experience with sandstorms… and a curious attitude to discover the purpose of those weird black cubes that appeared out of nowhere. With a bit of sprucing up, this place is going to be awesome!
Surviving Mars: Relaunched brings together the original colony management game from Haemimont Games, its entire catalogue of expansions, improved and reworked, from major expansions to cosmetics and radio stations, as well as the all-new Martian Assembly update. Upgraded graphics together with updated UI will give veteran players the definitive Surviving Mars experience, and provide an ideal launch point for new commanders as well.
Are you ready? Mars is waiting for you.
The new Martian Assembly brings an expanded endgame challenge never seen in the original. Shape your Martian society through laws. Balance the needs and demands of your colonists, keep the peace and develop a long-term plan for Mars - up to and including independence from Earth!
Building a thriving colony on a planet not fit for human life brings its own challenges. Construct life-support systems, power grids, domes, and supply chains, and keep them running, because blackouts on a planet without oxygen are never a good idea. And you’re not alone. With the included ‘Space Race’ expansion, rival colonies backed by competing sponsors add even more pressure as you fight for resources and the future of Mars.
Balance critical resources like oxygen, water, power, and food to keep your colony alive. Drones build and maintain your infrastructure, while the revamped ‘Martian Express’ adds trains that move people and supplies across longer distances. Every colonist has their own needs and behaviors and smart management is essential for their survival.
Advance your colony through a deep research system that unlocks new buildings, production methods, and essential upgrades. Discover breakthroughs, resources, and hidden secrets reaching ‘Below & Beyond’ the Martian surface. With randomized maps, varied sponsors, and unpredictable Mysteries, every playthrough offers new challenges, and every decision shapes your story of survival and growth on Mars.
Terraforming is no longer a distant dream, it’s your next challenge. With the included ‘Green Planet’ expansion, you can engineer Mars into a more habitable world. As the environment transforms, introduce animal life with ‘Project Laika’, bringing the first creatures to thrive alongside your colonists. The future of Mars isn’t just survival, it’s building a self-sustaining, living planet.

Paradox has pretty much ruined the outlook on this game. The original devs returning to Surviving Mars should have been a triumph. This is an awesome game that deserves a long life of support -- but I've already had to pay for the base game and its DLC *twice* now, like a f*cking idiot. Literally had to buy this version just to get the bug fixes from the previous version Paradox ruined. Don't be me kids, and genuinely do not think about getting this game at least until the dust has settled. At any point they could decide to recharge for any inch of this game, yet again. They've already set the precedent for paying for bug fixes. Just don't get this game, but it really is a great game, so if you do, then know what you're getting yourself into and prepare for maximum Paradox bullsh*t.

The original game was really good, and as a long time fan, I was ok with the idea of a relaunch including OG base game + all DLCs, with minor new game content. I put some serious hrs into this game and I cannot recommend. Just play the original game instead. This game, which again is a relaunch of a past game, was plagued with game breaking bugs and crashes. Multiple game restarts and frustrating bugs (like trains not working after a patch that was supposed to fix another problem) made me no longer a fan. Now 6 months later, they finally patched the rocket and asteroid landing mechanics. It's a shame the developer released this game when clearly it was not ready. A game that was already made in 2018 and relaunched in 2025, no excuses!
Runs horribly compared to the previous version, they had no reason to relaunch other than that they wanted to sell the same game again. Updates could have just been pushed to the original. Instead, they took the cheap route and relaunched to sell the same game and dlc a second time. Doing this locks future updates into a title you don't own because they made it a separate game.
I really liked the original Paradox did Paradox and did its best to ruin it. I learned about the relaunch I copium`ed myself into buying it again Unfortunately, Paradox did what Paradox does once again. There is potential, yes But there is also something else WAY TOO MANY BUGS Lost my first THREE runs to bugs. Right now, you should NOT buy it. Wait a few months until, maybe, Paradox allow the devs to fix the game Wait a few months until we know if Paradox will outright kill the game or not Wait a few months until, even if Paradox does what Paradox does, modders fix the game Screw you, Paradox
Play the original if you have it, skip this "upgrade". It doesn't really improve anything and actually introduces features that are annoying. Like politics. You can disable them, but then why bother paying for the upgraded version? They changed up the control menus, but just moving things doesn't improve them. The graphics really aren't much different. I noticed the maps seem more rugged, which just makes developing your colony harder. Maybe if I invested enough time to get farther into the game I'd discover some unique features, but why suffer?
To be a parrot, it's a scammy cash grab. Stick with the OG if you have it, if not, this is the exact same thing with more bugs, worse content, and no mods.
I loved the OG game. I really can't recommend this. It takes all the flaws of the original, adds a ton of bugs, including one that means you cant even finish the tutorial... If you can find the OG game, its worth your time. "Relaunched" is a mess, squandering a rare paid opportunity to correct all the mistakes from the OG game on a shameless cashgrab.
Absolute Dumpster Fire I have not had 1 playthrough yet where I didn't encounter some bug that effected gameplay. There are bugs here from the old version that are YEARS old. This game is a scam. Do not buy it. The political system is awful as well.
Not worth buying. Feels like i spent money on a game fix that should be free in a previous version. Finally i returned the game.
First I have something to say, I am someone who owned ONLY the base original and NONE of the DLC. From my POV this is wonderful, I get so much more for a price cheaper than the OG, But I understand how someone would not see it that way so I will split my recommendation depending on your relation to the base game. If you did NOT own Surviving Mars at all, This is still the great game it was all those years ago; I highly recommend you get it and ignore all the reviews about the game being the same, You never played the original so that doesn't affect you now does it? If you ONLY owned the base Surviving Mars and NONE of the DLC, This is a strict upgrade with a price cheaper than the OG with the discount. There is SO much new content to explore and because the updates won't stop for a while it will just keep coming. I 100% recommend you get this and if you are worried about not being able to use Chogii's mods, know that he's working on porting every one of the nearly 500 mods to Relaunched eventually. If you owned Surviving Mars and ALL or MOST of the DLC, Than unfortunetly at this time it's not worth it. I fully accept that this IS the same game and it's DLC put into a new engine with a lot of bugs (some new some old). So unless you really want to I would not recommend you buy this until it has gotten further into it's life. As while Paradox are working to patch them, a LOT of bugs that you know and hate are still here with plenty new ones as well. If you want to know what the only new thing you would be getting (The Politics Feature) is like, It's rough; It's difficulty currently is not properly set, so if you mess up once it can steamroll you into failure. I will be 100% real with you and say that if you buy this game at this point in time, you will be paying $20 for bugfixes and a new system that needs heavy changes. Perhaps one day I will be able to say that this game is worth your price, but that day is not today so stick with the Original for now. Perhaps one day we can all agree this game is Wonderful. But for now the only people this is worthwhile for is those who have never played and those who have only played the DLC-less Surviving Mars. (NOTE: I don't support Paradox doing a remaster like this, They should have made the price far cheaper if you owned DLC as for new players the $40 is fair and for base game players the $20 is more than fair, but for DLC owners a $20 price for the same thing is a slap in the face.)
