After five years in early access, Satisfactory will finally launch into 1.0 later this year

No more updates or patches before the full release, Coffee Stain say

Having teased a 1.0 releasefor some time now, Coffee Stain say that a full launch will happen sometime this year. The game’s 1.0 will introduce a brand new story element to itssurvival-crafting gameplay, along with a number of new features yet to be detailed.

Satisfactory has apparently shifted over five and a half million copies during its time in early access, so it’s perhaps no surprise that Coffee Stain promise they won’t be waving it off into the sunset when it hits 1.0 and development is planned to continue on future updates.

While Satisfactory’s 1.0 is yet to be dated, it will be preceded by a closed beta currently taking sign-upsover on the game’s website. You’ll be able to sign up even if you don’t already own Satisfactory, but access to the beta will be limited.
