Astroneer is getting a paid DLC called Megatech in November 2025, plus a free update that adds new items and automated interplanetary transport. It expands late-game base building with massive Megastructures, and it will be compatible with existing saves, so you can slot it into your current worlds.
ASTRONEER: Megatech is scheduled for release in November 2025 and focuses on letting players build massive Megastructure projects that push base building and automation. The paid expansion will work with existing saves, so you can either start fresh or load up a world you already love and begin construction.
The free update that ships alongside the DLC will add new items and a way to create a Megastructure that allows automated interplanetary transportation, moving resources and technology between planets without hopping between bases. Maybe that’s the idea: automate the long haul so you can focus on design and experiments.
There’s also a trailer available to watch here:

The Astroneer team said they brought on Red Kite Games as co-development partners. Red Kite has helped on other titles like Fall Guys and Two Point Hospital, and they’ve been involved in getting Megatech ready. The studio asked for credit and a bit of love when players try the new content.
