Young Suns, a cooperative life sim about settling on Jupiter, launches November 3, 2026 on PC. The game was revealed at PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct with a focus on creating comfort and connection in space.

Players design and build spaceship homes while orbiting Jupiter, a newly liberated planet described as having a bright future ahead. The game supports 1-4 players, allowing solo play or cooperative exploration with friends.

Gameplay revolves around gathering resources from Jupiter's environment. Players venture out to stations, ruins, and other locations to collect materials, then use those finds to build and upgrade their space homes. Exploration plays a central role in progression.

Jupiter is inhabited by NPCs called Jupiterians who offer quests and follow daily routines. Characters react positively when players visit, creating relationship-building opportunities typical of cosy games. The developers emphasize the game's optimistic tone as a response to current times.

Young Suns is wishlistable on Steam ahead of its November 3 launch.
