For millennia our race has developed, explored and battled for control of a planet. Now we turn our eyes beyond our own solar system, to other stars in our galaxy. New planets, new discoveries, maybe even new civilizations await us. And Paradox Development Studio, the masters of grand strategy, will be your guides on this new voyage.

With a dynamic decision system and a heavy emphasis on exploration and science teams, Stellaris gives you much more to research than bigger lasers or stronger hulls – though you’ll need those too. Space is very big, and your first step will be getting a grasp of just what is around you and how it can be best used for the benefit of your civilization.

Paradox Interactive today commemorated the 10th anniversary of Stellaris.

Ten years ago, a small team of around fifteen people at Paradox set out to build something they'd never tried before: a science fiction grand strategy game built on exploration, storytelling, and a galaxy full of wonders that hadn't yet been written.

Nomads, the next major expansion and first piece of content in Stellaris Season 10, will release on June 15, 2026, letting players build empires unbound by borders or systems. Roam the galaxy and survive the only way nomads know how: by moving forward.

For Stellaris: Console Edition, more content is set to launch on May 25.

 

Cosmic Storms, a Mechanical Expansion that introduces eight new storm types, and Grand Archive, a Story Pack where players unearth and collect the rarities of the galaxy.

Starting today, the Utopia Expansion, Synthetic Dawn Story Pack, and Humanoid Species Pack are now included in the base SKU of Stellaris. Aspiring players across the galaxy can now get nearly $40 of content for only $10 extra on top of the base game cost.

Thousands of planets populate procedurally generated star systems giving you the largest possible theatre for performing the emergent stories that Paradox has become famous for. Customize your ships, encounter unique randomly generated races, and participate in advanced diplomacy that would make Picard look like an amateur.

And all in a beautiful and evocative star map unmatched by anything we’ve made before.

• Behold the enormity of space with procedurally generated galaxies and an untold number of planets to explore.
• Encounter a myriad of wild, quirky, and dangerous alien races who may prove to be crucial trade partners or conquering forces hellbent on enslaving your civilization.
• Take on strategic space warfare and resource management to ensure the survival and advancement of your empire.
• Explore scientific anomalies and uncover technological wonders throughout the galaxy to utilize them toward your own gains.
• Govern your own fledgling empire and secure your power and agenda through manipulating internal policies, factions, traditions and more.

Stellaris is currently available on PS4, Xbox One and PC (Steam).
