- Achievement Update - 18 November 2025
With the recent update, we had to make some changes to the game that made some achievements unattainable. As a result, the following achievements will be removed from the game:Rings for the Sky 1-10Master of the Universe!Awesomenauts, roll out!Welcome back!Access to the SlowWolf Announcer in game was tied to the “Welcome back!" achievement, but the removal of this achievement has been offset by making the announcer available to everyone. Removing the unattainable achievements allows players to reach the 100% achievement rate. Thank you for your patience as we continue to bring Awesomenauts to the most sustainable version possible.
- Awesomenauts is Updated! - 28 October 2025
After an extensive testing period in Beta Branch with the help of our dedicated players, we are moving the new version of Awesomenauts to the main branch. All players who already own Awesomenauts on Steam can update to the new version for free and new players can purchase the game for $19.99. The paid Starstorm and Overdrive expansions are now included in the base game, all of the content and character skins that were previously pulled offline are back, and in-game chat has been re-enabled. To ensure that Awesomenauts is an enjoyable and welcoming experience we will be monitoring reports of inappropriate behaviour. Moderation will follow a three strike rule: the first strike will result in a one week timeout, second strike will result in a one month timeout, and the third strike will be a permanent ban. Our standards of player behavior are aligned with Steam’s Rules and Guidelines. Acco…

- Awesomenauts Community Update – Patch Notes For January 17th - 17 January 2025
Let’s talk about Awesomenauts, We want to take a moment to address the current state of the game and share some exciting news about our efforts to bring Awesomenauts back to the players. While we haven’t shared much publicly until now, we’ve been working hard behind the scenes ever since Atari acquired the game last October. Our mission at Atari is to preserve and celebrate the games players love, and Awesomenauts is no exception. When we took over from Ronimo, the game was not in a sustainable state—both operationally and economically. Quite simply the game costs far more to support than it made in revenue because of the way it was engineered and hosted. We've dedicated some time and money into re-engineering the backend services so that the game can be operated cost effectively. We're excited to say that we believe we’re close to a solution. Although there’s more work to be done, we w…

- Issues in Nauts since 19th Sept 2022 - 21 September 2022
Hi everyone, we have some unfortunate news. Since Monday 19th September, a host of issues popped up in Nauts and we have very little idea as to what caused them. We have contacted Steam and are also looking into this ourselves. But considering that this seemed to have happened out of the blue, we do not yet know how to approach solving the issues, so do not have an estimate when these issues will be fixed. We will keep you updated if we have any new information. Problems experienced: Free Nauts rotations differ for different players. Nauts do not unlock using in-game currency. Error message “Purchase failed: Could not grant Steam DLC!”. Redeemed Nauts, skins, and other items do not show up in-game for players. Purchased Nauts, skins, and other items do not show up in-game for players. Prices of Nauts, skins, bundles, and other items show up as “$0,00”, even though they are correctly pri…
