Icarus Dev Tracker

Your wish is our command - Icarus is now available to pre-load download.

The game won't open until our launch at 2pm Fri PST / 11pm UTC. This download is 23.6GB and will take up 54.8GB of disk space. However, there will be an additional download before launch, but pre-loading now will give you a headstart.

You can choose to either drop down to a permanent Outpost (with no time limit) or a timed Prospect mission.

Pre-load live now!

That's odd. We updated all our Steam Store banners earlier today. They don't mention the Beta anymore (it ended 10 days ago) and it now says "First Cohort" and "Pre-load now."

Maybe your Steam client has cached the old graphics?

Sorry for any confusion!

You can install it in your Steam Library, but the game won't open our launch at 2pm Fri PST / 10pm UTC.

The Beta Weekend are over, and you can play when we launch 2pm Friday PST.

Where does it say "Purchase now and play the Beta now?" We thought we had changed all those messages. Let me know and I'll fix it.

We are working with Valve on preloading the game, will post when this is available. However there may be some updates, as we will be fixing issues up to and beyond the moment of launch as quick as we can.

Yes there will be a fresh install for launch.

The app in your Steam Library will be called "Icarus" and is different from the "Icarus Beta" app used during the Beta Weekends. You can safely uninstall Icarus Beta now.

There is a Solo talent tree.

There is an Offline mode.

People are people.

Check out the blog post about what's coming in Icarus 1.0 this weekend.

A new blog post about what's coming in Icarus 1.0 this weekend.

Don't worry, it will be there on GeForce Now for launch (well from 2pm Fri 3 Dec PST).

Yes 'Icarus' is a separate app from 'Icarus Beta' and they're removed the Beta which you can't play anymore.

It's our 1.0 launch this weekend.

Icarus will launch worldwide on Steam at:

• 2pm Friday 3 December 2021 PST
  
• 10pm Friday 3 December 2021 UTC
  
• 11am Saturday 4 December 2021 NZT

Depending on your timezone your Steam Store might display a slightly different date, but ignore that for now.

Gamerunner Dean just posted a 'Thank you for the Beta Weekends' post including confirmation of our launch time.

Nope, just tachyons and exotic matter disrupting the time-space continuum

We just thought we'd give you a rest for Thanksgiving and other game launches ;-) Don't worry - we have a bunch of news coming this week and this weekend.

Remember back in April how we delivered a 7-minute long short film? There's another one of those coming, but longer. Plus announcements about drivers, what's in 1.0, maybe some Twitch streams.

Yes we are translating Icarus into Brazilian Portuguese and Latin American Spanish for launch.

Our translators are furiously adding words to the game as we get ready for launch this weekend. But then our developers add new features and they have to play catch up ;-)

You'll also see that one of the Governmental factions on Icarus, União, and the space engineering company Inaris LLC are both from South America.

Yes, this is on our roadmap for future.

We've already got some of it implemented in our developer's build, but making it work properly for 100% of the things you do in game (eg, menus, building commands) takes a bit longer.

The date is displayed differently on different timezones.

Icarus will launch on Sat 4 Dec UTC, which will be Fri 3 Dev afternoon/evening PST.

In general, always update to the latest drivers - but just prior to launch we expect NVIDIA to update their game-ready drivers to include Icarus. We'll let you know when they're available.
