Surviving Mars will put players in charge of the first functioning colony on the Red Planet, where resources are thin, the environment is hostile, and human colonists will need to balance productivity with sanity.

Surviving Mars challenges players to plan and build a functioning colony on Mars, balancing inhabitants’ basic survival needs with sanity and quality of life, all while dealing with the hostile environment of the red planet.

Paradox Interactive announced three brand new content creator packs for Surviving Mars: the Martian Express Pack (created by veteran modders Lucian "LukeH" Hada and Sylvain "Silva" Maupetit), the Future Contemporary Cosmetic Pack and Revelation Radio.

With the Martian Express pack, gamers will be able to move their colonists and resources between stations facilitating access to far away domes and remote resource deposits. Other outside manned buildings will also be buildable near stations without needing a dome. 

The Martian Express pack will be available on on April 28, 2022 for a suggested retail price of 6.99 USD / 6.99 EUR / 5.19 GBP.

Key features of the Martian Express Pack include:

• Welcome commuters! - Build your stations anywhere on the map and help your colonists get to work and back. Click on the info panel to see their reason for traveling and make sure that everyone gets their seat. otherwise, they’ll have to wait for the next train - and be frustrated, nobody likes to miss the train.
• New tracks - Click and drag to create tracks that connect your stations. Tracks will be elevated allowing your rovers and drones to pass underneath together with power cables, while pipes can cross over them.
• Same train, different cargo - Traveling on the red planet has never been safer (and efficient!). Trains will have 2 wagons to transport colonists and resources at the same time. Don't worry: they'll travel on the same track with no risk of collision. Build your trains in the stations, assign them to the connected tracks and watch them go.

In addition to the Martian Express Pack, on April 28th two additional Content Creator Packs for the base game will release: 

Future Contemporary Cosmetic Pack: 10 terrestrial building skins to give your colony some added flair. The Future Contemporary Pack will be available for a suggested retail price of 4.99 USD / 4.99 EURO / 3.99 GBP.

Revelation Radio: 16 new songs from 4 artists for approximately 70 minutes of music from the comfort of your own dome. Revelation Radio will be available for a suggested retail price of 3.99 USD / 3.99 EURO / 2.89 GBP.

The three Content Creator Packs will be available on April 28th in the “All new in” Bundle, for a suggested retail price of USD 14.99 / EUR 14.99 / 11.39 GBP.

In Surviving Mars, players lead a colonization effort on the surface of Mars, from the very first rovers and supply drops to the construction of suitable habitats for brave settlers from Earth. Every colonist will be vital to the mission as the colony struggles to gain a foothold where the environment is hostile and resources are scarce. With each success, however, players will gain the ability to expand further, and even establish a thriving society – and lead a new generation that has never known the Earth.

Couch colonists can look forward to ultra-high-definition visuals for their missions, with 4K support offered on both the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro consoles. For PC players, Surviving Mars will offer community-created modifications with full modding tools and support – including mods available at launch from some of Paradox’s most talented community creators.

Surviving Mars is available on Xbox One, PS4, and Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs for $39.99 on all platforms.
