Looking to bring both entertaining new content and push for their story, System Era Softworks has released a free update for Astroneer. This update is called Awakening and it includes some story content that serves as a conclusion to the game’s narrative and expands on the recent Xenobiology and Rail updates.
The Awakening update brings a new mission chain that all recruits are expected to complete in preparation for this new endeavor. They’ve also made it so Fault Finder items can be crafted and deployed. Fault Finders that are activated can be used on the Trade Platform for the acquisition of extremely valuable or enjoyable items. Of course, they have also done a long list of minor improvements and bug patching.
Astroneer and the latest free update are available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
