Multi-million-copy-selling open world terraforming game, The Planet Crafter, is OUT NOW on PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S and XBOX Game Pass
From the moment it launched on Steam, The Planet Crafter has defied gravity. The terraforming sci-fi survival sensation has sold more than 2 million copies, earned an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating from Steam players, and carved out its place among the stars of the open world genre. Now, after winning over PC players with relentless updates and deep survival gameplay, The Planet Crafter has completed its next giant leap, launching today on PlayStation 5 and XBOX Series X|S, including Day 1 access through XBOX Game Pass.
Following one of the most successful Early Access launches in Steam history, The Planet Crafter hit over 1 million sales shortly after v1.0 launch. Its enduring popularity has seen it skyrocketed up the charts as one of the top 200 games ever released on Steam by player rating (95%), alongside continued daily CCUs in the 1000s, players are still exploring two years after launch. Unwilling to stop there, the team at Miju Games have decided to bring the game to consoles after an ongoing campaign from the community seeking to take their exploration to consoles.
The Planet Crafter is the rare survival game that swaps zombies and gunfire for something far more uplifting: building an entire world fit for human habitation. Dropped onto a hostile planet with little more than basic tools and a desperate mission to survive, players must transform barren wastelands into thriving ecosystems by creating oxygen, raising atmospheric pressure, melting ice caps, opening new caves, tunnels, and regions to explore, and eventually bringing life itself to the surface. What begins as a lonely fight for survival slowly evolves into one of the genre’s most satisfying gameplay loops, with every machine built and every breakthrough visibly reshaping the planet around you in real time.
The continued success of The Planet Crafter is thanks to Miju’s dedication to its deeply passionate community, whose input continues to shape the game beyond V1. So far, there have been 15 content updates and 2 DLCs, with many more planned for the future. Supporting up to 8 players on online console co-op, the console release brings a shared world-building experience where every terraforming milestone creates meaningful shared progression.
“When we started, we were just two people in the south of France” Said Miju Games co-founders, Amélie and Brice. “Today, now with a team of seven, and two million terraformers later, we're landing on consoles. What an amazing adventure, all thanks to our amazing community!”
The game is out now for $23.99 USD / €23.99€on the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store, and is available on XBOX Game Pass.
