Sci-fi survival sandbox Starbound just got its first PC update in 5 years – a hotfix so tiny that it’s pretty much the saddest update I’ve ever seen

After standing the test of time for a little over a decade as one of the best crafting games to date, Starbound is getting its first new update on PC in five years – but it’s probably not what you’re thinking.

I love Starbound – so much so, that I’ve waited patiently for news of fresh content for years now. When I saw the notification on Steam that an update was rolling out for the indie gem, I thought my dreams were finally coming true. Nope, the update is a very minor hotfix containing a “tiny changelist” with just one little tweak “to resolve a launch issue” apparently: “Fixed issue preventing launch on new MacOS since Sequoia 15.1 update.”
