Space Engineers is a sandbox game about engineering, construction and maintenance of space works. Players build space ships and space stations of various sizes and utilization (civil and military), pilot ships and perform asteroid mining. Space Engineers utilizes a realistic volumetric-based physics engine: all objects can be assembled, disassembled, damaged and destroyed.

Space Engineers offers a robust platform for creative gamers to build and maintain space stations and ships in a single or multi-player environment. Offering both Survival and Creative modes, as well as resource management, multiplayer, and even combat, the limits of what can be built and played are only bound by the player’s own creativity.

We strived to bring all of the key features from the PC version to the Xbox.  However, these are the main differences:

• Multi-player
  • Xbox One and Xbox One S will support 2 player multiplayer (lobby)
  • Xbox One X will support 4 player multiplayer (lobby)
  • No dedicated servers
  • (*we are looking into the possibility of supporting dedicated servers in the future)
• Graphics
  • Xbox One X has a higher graphic setting (higher textures, better models, improved post processing) than Xbox One S.  
• Features
  • Only a safe mode on Xbox (experimental features are not enabled on Xbox)
  • Mods are not supported (e.g. scripts, textures, blocks, animations)
  • Programmable blocks are not supported
  • Workshop (worlds, blueprints) is supported via in-game integration with Mod.io and is used for safe-mode worlds and blueprints (it is possible to share creations from PC to XB and vice versa)
• Scenarios 
  • Third party scenarios are not supported
  • Official supported scenarios: First Jump, Learning to Survive & Never Surrender
  • Not supported: Lost Colony

We are looking into bringing more major updates and DLCs to the Xbox One version of Space Engineers in the near future.

The performance depends on the complexity of your world and which type of Xbox you’re playing on. Simple worlds run smoothly on Xbox One and Xbox One S, but a more complex world with rich object interactions could present some performance issues on the Xbox One X.

PC players will also benefit from the massive optimizations that our team performed on the Xbox version, especially the dedicated server users who are playing in a big world. All the optimizations are being released on the PC version in one of the upcoming releases.

Space Engineers comes to Xbox One on April 15, 2020.
