Beyond These Stars Launches in 2026, New Demo Coming to Cozy Quest 2025

Hooded Horse and Balancing Monkey Games have announced their upcoming space whale city-builder Beyond These Stars will launch in 2026, and as a part of Cozy Quest 2025, a demo will be available to showcase just how far the game has come since the initial announcement.

You can wishlist the game today on Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store, and you can play the demo once it goes live as a part of Cozy Quest, which begins on November 18th.

Until then, you can watch the new gameplay trailer below.

About:

Beyond These Stars has come a long way since first releasing its demo during June Next Fest in 2024, and managed to showcase some exciting late-game content during Gamescom earlier this year. Given how much has changed this year, the team felt a refreshed demo would tide people over until the full release is ready.

Key changes include: 
  • New Pollution mechanics with “toxic tiles” if players don’t keep on top of the trash
  • Completely overhauled UI, with extra overlays and ways to track resource flow
  • A new Tech tree, with a perk system
  • The tutorial has been enhanced, as has the story overall
  • Peeps now work in shifts and have a new “exhaustion” mechanic - if they get too tired, mistakes happen
  • Lots of changes to how buildings work, from changed-up adjacent effects, to work radius on accommodation, and more!
The game has amassed over 170,000 wishlists on Steam since its announcement.
