- Surviving Mars: Relaunched - What's New Since Release - 7 September 2026
Hello Commanders,When Surviving Mars: Relaunched went live last November, we mentioned that it was the launch pad for a new era of Surviving Mars, with more to explore down the line. Tomorrow, we drop a free update that rebuilds two of the systems sitting closest to the heart of the game, alongside the first part of our Prime Mission - the content pack Feeding the Future. Before we get to what's coming, it's worth taking a note of what's already here. If you last visited Mars around launch, the colony you'd land in today is a noticeably different place, and a lot of that is down to the reports, saves, and forum threads you've sent our way. Below are some highlights of what’s happened in the last few months, and if you want to get into the nitty-gritty details, check out the full patch notes log here: Complete Changlog for patch 1.0.1 to 1.0.7 - Asteroids - Asteroids no longer expire.

- Surviving Mars Relaunched crashes on Steam as the strategy game's paid remaster doesn't even fix the original's flaws - 16 November 2025
Paradox Games and Haemimont Games recently released Surviving Mars Relaunched to largely middling Steam reviews, maintaining a worrying trend of titles from the publishing giant behind many of the best strategy games not quite hitting like they used to. Worse yet, the release of this remaster treads another fine line - scrubbing the original version of a product in favor of a new edition that some are finding to be virtually identical in the worst ways.

- Surviving Mars: Relaunched arrives in orbit next month, bringing a whole new political system and every DLC from the get-go - 19 October 2025
When I first saw that city-builder Surviving Mars is getting a remaster, my first thought was "Isn't that a bit soon? It only launched recently." It turns out 'recently' was seven flipping years ago . That's a shorter period than between the original Resident Evil and its 2002 HD edition. Truly, my ability to measure the passage of time has been destroyed since 2020... Read more.
- Remaster of sci-fi city builder Surviving Mars locks in date for lift off and promises all-new expansions - 16 October 2025
Would you go and live on Mars, if given the opportunity? I couldn't leave my family behind, but if they were invited too, I think it'd be a fun adventure. I'm not keen on the idea of an eight-month long journey with a six-month old baby, though. Thankfully, that's why we play videogames. We can skip all the travel and the dangers of space travel and simulate the life on Mars thing on our computer screen. It's not exactly stress-free, but Surviving Mars significantly reduces the danger. As one of the best city building games and colony sims out there, I can't wait to head back to the red planet in Surviving Mars Relaunched, which has just announced a release date and all-new expansions.
