Hey OP, today is April 1st. Montu's video was a joke and we currently have no plans to introduce seasonal content, stellaris bucks or lootboxes that I am aware of (apart from reliquaries).

Hello Stellaris Cube-munity!

I know today wasn't in the dev diary cube-endar we posted earlier, but I felt like today was a special day.

In the finest of traditions of Stellaris cubeture, we are happy to introduce a new character portrait: Rick the Cube!



Cube Rick will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak

Rick the Cube will be available Soon™ for purchasers of an unannounced future Stellaris DLC bundle (and also subscribers). We will be revealing more about this DLC bundle in the near future!

It sounds like one of you is running a mod, or editing your game files. If you're running mods, all players in a lobby have to be running mods in order to connect to each other.

It could also be a hard drive issue (eg. your hard drive is failing), or you have a virus that's editing game files.

You can go to support.paradoxplaza.com and open a ticket if you need further support with this issue.

Hope this helps!

Hello Stellaris Community!

In time for the weekend (a long one, in some cases), the dev team has prepared a 3.11.3 "Eridanus" Open Beta! This beta addresses some issues that have been left over from the 3.11 release.

The 3.11.3 "Eridanus" Open Beta is an optional beta patch. You have to manually opt-in to access it.
Go to your Steam Library, right click on Stellaris -> Properties -> Betas Tab -> select "3.11.3_open_beta" from the drop-down.

[Improvement] The Plasmic trait can now be removed from species if you want to clean up your species tab.

Try disabling v-sync. On some setups, disabling v-sync gives *massive* performance improvements.

It is time to leave our flawed biological vessels behind. It’s my pleasure to announce that The Machine Age major expansion will be released alongside the Stellaris 3.12 ‘Andromeda’ update.

Focusing on cybernetic, synthetic, and machine themes, The Machine Age will begin during the second quarter of 2024.



In pursuing the divine calling, we shall achieve the fusion of the exalted body and sacred cybernetics.
The Technophants and Haruspex of the Cybernetic Creed will guide their flock to the perfect union of flesh and machine.


Cybernetic augmentation is not solely the province of the materialists.

Playgrounds stand empty. In time, we will cease to be.
For now, ou... Read more

Generally issues with DLC verification can be solved by right clicking Stellaris, Properties, Betas tab and Verify Local files.

If the issue persists past that point, you can go to support.paradoxplaza.com and open a ticket, and Customer Support will be glad to help you!

The Expansion Subscription is primarily to lower the bar to entry for new players, if you have all or most of the DLC, its very likely that the subscription will not be worth it for you.

New DLC will *not* be subscription only, and you can still purchase them on Steam (or other platforms) as you could previously.

People joining the game you host, have access to the dlc you own, if you have the sub, most likely mean they have access to it too.
This is correct, subscription DLC behave the same as normal DLC, and are shared in multiplayer as long as the subscribed player is the host.

Hello!

The 3.11.1 “Eridanus” update has been released!

Hello Stellaris Community!

#MODJAM2024 is well under way. This year we had over 100 modders sign up, and over 60 design documents submitted. While we aren't expecting to have 60 Legendary Leaders submitted at the end of the competition (wouldn't that be awesome though?). Today, we're going to give you the first sneak peek at the Legendary Leaders our modders are currently working on, as well as give you a peek at how the final mod package will work.

The #MODJAM2024 is still currently on-pace for a January 11th, 2024 release. You can subscribe to the Mod Jam mod and get this content as soon as it releases!

Last year, we tried something a little different, in which the mid-game crises were posted by the modders themse... Read more

Hi everyone!

We have just released the 3.10.1 "Pyxis" update! This update is identical to the Steam Open Beta that we put up earlier this week, and includes a number of fixes as well as hotkeys for the Tabbed Outliner.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Stellaris Community for their patience and bug reports. Without your help we would not have been able to address so many issues so quickly. Please keep on providing your bug reports and feedback.

We are currently still investigating and fixing a number of other issues, and this will not be the last update to 3.10, including issues on MacOS, more bugfixes, and adding full customization to the Outliner.

Please find the patch notes below:
