Utopian Abundance: An Update on the Stellaris Base Game

Hi all!

For the past nine years, every time a new player asked “what’s the first DLC I should buy for Stellaris”, you all pretty much unanimously said “Utopia”.

Honestly, we agree.

As part of the Stellaris 10 Year Anniversary celebrations, we are going to give EVERY Stellaris PC player the Utopia and Synthetic Dawn DLCs, and the Humanoids Species Pack. 

This will grant everyone access to Hive Mind empires, Gestalt Machine Intelligences, the humanoid portraits, civics, and shipsets, and all the other features from these three DLCs.

We’re going to roll all three of these, plus most of the elements of the Galaxy Edition upgrade into the base game. (The e-book “Infinite Frontiers” will not be part of this as we plan to retire it.)

As was done with Hearts of Iron IV when a similar bundling of DLCs into the base game happened, the price of the base Stellaris game will increase by $10 (or the equivalent in local currency) when it occurs on May 11th.

Why are we telling you this now? 

We wanted to be completely transparent with you before the Steam Spring sale. We know many of you will be on the lookout for new games and DLCs to add to your collection, and we believe this information will help you make a better-informed decision.

1. If you or a friend only wants the base game, you may want to grab it during the Spring Sale before the price change goes through.

2. If you were planning to buy Utopia, Synthetic Dawn, or Humanoids, we want you to be aware that these will be part of the base game in the near future. So please keep this in mind when deciding what to purchase during the Steam Spring Sale.

Thank you for ten years of exploring the wonders of the galaxy together!
