Love open-world sandbox games and clever engineering puzzles? Mars First Logistics is the space builder that keeps climbing the charts for a reason. After launching in early access in June 2023 and steadily refining its systems with frequent updates, the game has now hit its full 1.0 release—earning Overwhelmingly Positive reviews on Steam.
Set on a vast Martian landscape, Mars First Logistics challenges you to design and construct custom mechanized rovers, then use them to deliver cargo and support growing construction projects across the red planet. The creative freedom is the hook: you can tweak every aspect of your rover and experiment until you find the perfect setup for each job. Play solo for a chill, tinkering experience, or team up in online co-op with up to three friends to build, drive, and deliver together.
The 1.0 update arrives with fresh content and polish, including:
– New contracts to complete
– Additional language support
– A brand-new area to explore
– A new virtual port
– Broad gameplay improvements for a smoother experience
To celebrate the full release, the developers have temporarily dropped the price by 40%, from $19.99 to $11.99. It’s the lowest price the game has seen so far, making it a great time to jump in if you’ve been curious. The discount runs until October 9, after which the price returns to normal. With the Steam Autumn Sale approaching, it wouldn’t be surprising to see a similar discount show up again, but there’s no guarantee—grabbing it now is the safe bet.
Another perk: Mars First Logistics is Verified on Steam Deck. That means it runs well on Valve’s handheld without any extra tweaking, perfect for building and delivering on the go.
If you’re searching for a creative space sandbox with co-op, a rewarding build-and-deliver loop, and a healthy stream of updates, Mars First Logistics deserves a spot near the top of your wishlist—especially at its current price.
