After an incredibly well-received two-week playtest, StarRupture has reached new heights—both in player enthusiasm and in Creepy Jar’s ambition for the game. As the playtest wrapped up, Creepy Jar announced StarRupture crossed over 500,000 wishlists with over 158,000 players jumping in to test their limits on the surface of Arcadia-7. Compiling nearly 200,000 hours watched on livestreams, the response has been nothing short of inspiring as the playtest earned a 91% positive review score and saw a peak of 6,701 concurrent players, making it clear that the community’s excitement is matched only by their overwhelming engagement and invaluable feedback.

“We're extremely pleased with the reception to the first open playtest of StarRupture. Our concept for this game is a unique blend of existing genres - base building, exploration, combat, and survival - and players clearly enjoyed it. We're thrilled that players noticed and appreciated this fresh take on the genre and mechanics they know and love.” - Krzysztof Kwiatek, the CEO of Creepy Jar.

The studio will take community feedback, refine every detail, and deliver the StarRupture experience their audience deserves. Originally expected to launch in the Autumn of this year, Creepy Jar is committed to delivering the best possible experience, and the player’s passion seen during the playtest has only fueled Creepy Jar’s drive to do more. The extra time means more polish, more improvements, and more reasons for players to fall in love with StarRupture when it launches on Steam early next year.



In StarRupture, you are a prisoner serving your sentence on a faraway planet where danger lurks at every turn. Tasked with building a factory and gathering resources for global corporations that don’t care if you live or die, survival on Arcadia-7 is anything but guaranteed. Not only will you have to defend your base from menacing enemies, but you’ll also have to prepare for a somewhat more terrifying threat; the planet’s very own life-giving—and taking—star, Ruptura.

Featuring an electrifying mix of base building, exploration, combat, mystery, and survival, both solo or in a 4-player co-op, StarRupture is an out-of-this-world experience that is launching in Steam Early Access on January 6th, 2026.
