Space combat. Trading. Your course into the unknown.
Subspace Horizon is a single-player space sandbox combining direct top-down combat with space-sim systems, exploration, trading and in-depth ship fitting.
Distant nebulae glow beyond your cockpit. Behind you, the guns are cooling. Between the next wormhole and the last safe hangar lie dangerous flights, valuable cargo and stories that begin at Jax’s bar. Fit your ship, choose your course and dare to make the next jump.
The game is in development. RPG progression and strategic fleet building are part of the planned scope. Deeper economy, station and empire systems with RTS and 4X elements are long-term design goals.
ALREADY IN THE DEVELOPMENT BUILD
Pilot your ship directly through battles with fighters and large carriers. Lasers, plasma projectiles, missiles and point defense test shields and hulls while drawing on power and heat budgets.
Drift · Flight assist · Weapon range
Drag owned weapons and modules from base storage or cargo onto compatible slots. Valid slots light up as you drag. Reactors, shields, armor, thrusters, CPUs, sensors and utilities have their own mounting positions.
Slot type · Size · Power · CPU
Energy / heat, kinetic, explosive, EMP and corrosive damage form the five consolidated hull resistance groups. Compare them in the hangar and shipyard technical data. Shields absorb hits and also react to collisions.
Shields · Collisions · Hull resistances
Explore the star and universe maps, select destinations and set waypoints. Planets, colorful nebulae and wormholes shape the sectors. Keep an eye on your hydrogen and quantum fuel supplies.
Sectors · Navigation · Fuel
Buy and sell goods, manage available cargo space and prepare your ship in the hangar for its next sortie. Stored equipment and trade goods share the same cargo capacity.
Market · Repairs · Crew
Find contacts, conversation topics and offers in the cantina. Visit Jax, collect clues in your notebook and keep track of assignments in the mission journal.

Mounting points include existing hangar launch bays. Factory equipment and your own fitting can change the effective stats.
The concept catalog covers 14 species and factions. This selection offers a look at their visual direction and lore. The special abilities described here are concepts and are not all implemented in the current game.
Segmented, pitch-black chitin armor shimmers with purple and green iridescence. The Xylor are relentless, cannot be negotiated with, and move freely through the vacuum of space. Their ships are living organisms with pulsating biological engines and deadly acid glands that bypass enemy shields and dissolve armor in seconds.

Color-coded module positions in the editor, icon drag-and-drop in fitting, five clearly named resistance groups and consistent Solid-Cut icons with a holographic hover glow. Work also continues on balancing, performance and German and English interface text.
Planned origins, abilities and consequential faction choices will bring RPG elements and a personal identity to your journey through the space sandbox.
The long-term vision connects strategic fleet building with station management and a deeper economy. RTS and 4X elements are intended to expand your options; they are not yet a fully playable feature set.
Subspace Horizon is in development. A release date and a confirmed Steam store link are not yet available here. Any Early Access plans and timing will be announced separately.
The screenshots shown do not guarantee unchanged content, stats or final system requirements.
