Hello everyone!
We've gathered up some of the most frequently asked questions from the launch of the Stellaris Expansion Subscription.
Will I lose access to my existing content purchases?
No. All existing purchases will remain, and you will not have to sign up to the subscription service to maintain your access to your previously purchased content.
Will future content be subscription-only?
No! Our main model will remain focused around expansions and other content, as we have done so far. We have introduced a subscription service to lower the barrier to entry for new players.
Who asked for this?
We are experimenting with this additional option to provide players access to the full Stellaris experience. We are simply offering another choice, as we understand that many players would be interested in trying Stellaris with all the content without having to commit to purchasing all the existing content.
Why did you not just create content bundles?
We already have bundles available that we have designed with the help of our community. We are happy with the currently available offerings, but may look into this again in the future.
If I play multiplayer with the subscription, does everyone else in my lobby still get to use my content for that game?
Yes! Subscription ownership of the content comes with all the features that a regular purchase does. You can share the content from the subscription in multiplayer with your friends that only have the base-game.
Are there any plans to expand the subscription service to other stores/platforms?
No current plans at this time, but something on our radar long-term.
Does the subscription model signal the end of development on Stellaris?
We currently have several years of Stellaris development planned.
Will individual content still be available for sale?
Yes! Stellaris content will continue to be available to purchased individually, as it always has been.
Why isn’t there a discounted price for the subscription for players who already own some/all of the content?
The Stellaris subscription is geared towards allowing new players more avenues into the full Stellaris experience. As such, we attempted to keep the initial public offering as simple as possible. We may look at expanding our offerings in the future, however.
Why can't I buy Stellaris content while my subscription is active?
[Updated: 2024-10-17] You can now buy expansions while you have your subscription active, however you still cannot purchase dynamic Steam bundles when your subscription is active.
We hope this provides more clarity into our process and alleviates some of the concerns of the Community with regards to the Expansion Subscription. If you have further questions, feel free to ask them in the thread below and we will do our best to provide answers!
