Welcome to LYNX, the solar system’s leader in spaceship salvaging

You’ll need to master scanning, cutting and dismantling a variety of increasingly hazardous spaceships for valuable components and resources to pay off your astronomical credit debt to the massive LYNX corporation. Death lurks around every bulkhead, but danger is how you earn your paycheck.
On top of the compelling campaign and casual free-play that make up your solo journey as a space worker, test your skills in the R.A.C.E mode and win timed competitions against other Shipbreakers to climb the leaderboard.
The accomplishment of an amazing space journey

Rewind to all the updates we’ve brought to the game in our Early Release Recap video!
