Satisfactory has 2 upcoming dates for players to watch. Coffee Stain’s Big Break Showcase 2026 will stream on September 29, 2026, while the campaign for Satisfactory: The Board Game will launch on October 13.

Coffee Stain outlined both plans in its September news post on Steam. The showcase will begin at 19:00 CEST, 18:00 GMT, 13:00 EDT, or 10:00 PDT, with the presentation available through Coffee Stain’s YouTube channel.

The Big Break Showcase will cover more than Satisfactory

Coffee Stain is bringing together studios from across its wider circle for a presentation focused on new games and updates for titles players already know. The company has also opened a Big Break Showcase page with more information about the September event.

The showcase will air on September 29, so the event is still ahead of the current anniversary celebration inside Satisfactory. Coffee Stain has not limited the presentation to factory-building updates, which gives the event a wider scope than a standard game announcement.

Satisfactory is heading to the tabletop

Mood Publishing is working on Satisfactory: The Board Game, with the Space Elevator becoming one of its planned mechanics. The Gamefound campaign preview page is already available, and the campaign will launch on October 13. Following the page now will provide a launch notification and a Satisfactory follower-exclusive goodie.

A community challenge will also determine how tall the board game’s Space Elevator becomes before the campaign begins. Every 1,000 followers adds 1 cm to the structure, turning the campaign preview into a small growth meter for the tabletop project.

Satisfactory is a first-person factory simulation game set on an alien planet. Players take the role of a Pioneer, an employee of the megacorporation FICSIT Inc., tasked with harvesting natural resources and constructing increasingly complex automated production lines. The goal is to manufacture components for "Project Assembly," delivered via a space elevator to an orbital platform. The game features a hand-crafted open world spanning approximately 30 square kilometers across multiple biomes, a tiered technology progression system, cooperative multiplayer, and extensive logistics management through conveyor belts, pipelines, and vehicles.
