"The game is changing too fast": Paradox to reconsider the pace of updates and add-ons for 4X strategy game Stellaris

Stellaris fans are used to the fact that, like all grand strategy games from Paradox, the game receives major updates and additions about once a quarter.

This system has been in place since Stellaris' release in 2015, but the Swedish developer will soon change the schedule for releasing new content.

Here's What We Know

The developers from Paradox said that they consider it necessary to reduce the frequency of release of updates for the space 4X strategy game Stellaris. They explain their decision by the fact that at the current rate, many players have the feeling that the game changes too quickly, and the innovations are too radical. In addition, updates often break existing saves and force the gamer to start the game from the beginning, as well as harm the work of custom modifications.

At the moment, the developers are preparing a major update, which they plan to release in open beta test in the first quarter of 2025.

The galaxy is vast and full of wonders - this allows any story, idea or fantasy of players in the science fiction genre to be realised and lived out.

Stellaris is a living game - it continues to evolve and reinvent itself.

Each playthrough is not like the others - the core of the Stellaris experience is a sense of uncertainty and wonder at what might happen next.

The developers are waiting for gamers' reaction to their proposal and invite to share their ideas about the pace and vector of Stellaris development on all platforms.
