Details
The full picture
Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.
What the game is
Starjaunt is an open-galaxy space game released October 7, 2026 at $5.99.
You start with a shuttle - not a warship, not a legend - a modest hold, and enough fuel to reach somewhere that isn't here.
What happens after that is genuinely up to you.
Pick a life, or don't
Merchant: buy low, sell high, watch prices move as the war strangles supply lines.
Bounty hunter: hunt people across a six-part arc; spy: 13 missions of planted evidence and extractions; combat pilot: fly for a flag.
You can spend the whole game hauling grain and never fire a shot - it is a true sandbox (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-08).
Nine factions
None of the nine factions are simply right: the Federation is order and duty expressed as slow, heavily armored ships with tariffs.
The Rebel Alliance uses speed as armor and captured tech held together with conviction.
It suits players who want emergent sandbox freedom to choose their own story in a living galaxy.
