Poland / 27 January, 2022 - Toplitz Productions and developer Tunnel Vision Studio have officially released Starsand's first major update. Bringing all new tools and key equipment to survive the desert sands, each is designed to make living in the desert that little bit easier.


With fresh new tools and blueprints that include metal weaponry and hammers, to a brand new spear for taking on the desert's unique enemies, this update also delivers the much requested Spyglass. Players can now also look far into the distance while scouting for key locations, or when hunting camels to tame. Finally, with a new design window for learning recipes and blueprints, alongside storage box improvements, this first quarter update marks a significant milestone for the Stargate inspired title.

Set against a harsh arcane desert, Starsand sees players construct weapons and defences, fight strange creatures and explore a vast and hostile environment in their quest to return to Earth. With unpredictable weather, an impactful day and night cycle, as well as deep crafting mechanics, Starsand offers players the freedom to explore a huge landscape filled with strange creatures and artefacts.

Starsand is available now in Early Access ($19.99) while players can also buy the Digital Supporters Pack, which grants access to digital goodies and expands your desert adventure with exclusive content. Can you survive the desert?
