Watch On
If you had to move to another planet in our solar system, which would you pick? Me, I’d go Neptune. I’ve always thought it’s underrated, as our neighbours go, and it’s a particularly pleasing shade of blue. I would die immediately due to cold and pressure, which I guess is a problem.
I guess that problem is why the stars of Young Suns, which just revealed a November 3 release date at the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct, have elected to set themselves up on Jupiter. They’re having a pretty cosy time of it, too: the game is a 1-4 player life sim about building a home for yourself in space, setting up a comforting nook for yourself in a vessel drifting over the face of the newly liberated gas giant.
Wishlist Young Suns on Steam
Release date: November 3, 2026
Imagine a future that’s… good? This strange concept is the heart of Young Suns, which tasks you with designing a spaceship home in the stars in orbit around Jupiter, a newly liberated planet with a bright future ahead of it. Build your dreams space-home, explore the environs of our solar system’s largest planet, and grow deeply attached to the game’s cast of Jupiterians when it hits on November 3. Wishlist it on Steam.

Jupiter, you see, is a free planet, and it has a whole future ahead of it. It’s yours to explore—and your pals’ too, if you want. Take your ship, head out to a station, ruin, or what-have-you, and plumb the depths on a hunt for stuff. Then use the stuff you find to help build tomorrow. It’s an optimistic game for times that, dare I say it, sometimes feel a little less than optimistic. That’s a noble goal, I think.

What we also got a good look at in the PCGS trailer, though, is the people rebuilding Jupiter with you. Whether you bring real-life pals with you or not, the planet’s inhabited by a cast of characters who you can get to know in your career.
They’ll hand out quests, follow routines and, most importantly, get very excited when you turn up for a chat. No cosy game is complete without a cast of NPCs to grow deeply attached to, and I’m eager to form a set of incredibly vivid and muscular opinions about the denizens of Jupiter.
