Hey Xbox truckers! It’s been an exciting couple of months since we released Star Trucker, and we want to begin this post by thanking you for the support so far. Seeing you all chatting, streaming, and enjoying a game we’ve put so much heart into, for years, has been an emotional blast.
Some Special Spooky Treats to Thank You
And because it’s a spooky season, we wanted to thank you for all the support in the best way possible: with some nice treats!
The recently released Hallow’s Eve DLC is free until November 23! In order to secure it, make sure you are logged in, have the base game installed, and you will be able to secure it for free!
A truck is an extension of its driver’s identity, and we want you to feel it that way! With this DLC you’ll be able to embrace your inner gothic spirit. The Hallow’s Eve DLC features the following new customization options:
- New Paint Job: Flap Jack
- New Exhaust Stack: Mitered Fang
- New Sensor Manifold: Summoner
- New Truck Grille: Gothic Edge
- New Hood Ornament: Bat Attack
But That’s Not All, Custom Input Bindings are Here
We’ve also released a new update with a feature many players have requested: custom control mapping. You’ll be able to remap keys the way you want, even mid-game, and across multiple control modes.
- 1st Person Driving
- 3rd Person Driving
- CB Radio interactions
- Cab interior Walking
- Cab interior Zero-G
- Spacewalk Zero-G
From Special Treats to a Crystal Ball
Since day one, we’ve been working hard on improving the game experience we envision. We released two patches with bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements (many of them coming directly from your feedback); and we now have two available DLC packs. Be sure to always check up on our website, where we have a dedicated section for the latest patch notes.
So, what does the future look like? We are now deep-diving into what we call “phase 2” of our roadmap, in which we keep a laser focus on balance refinements such as the overall economy and hazards. We’re also working on optimizing and upgrading sectors so exploring the galaxy will become even more interesting.
And once phase 2 is done, it will be time for… yeah, you guessed it: “Phase 3”. During this phase we will focus on something you’ve all been asking for: Corporation and cargo updates, and an upgrade to the CB system, adding options like sending out a recover S.O.S or asking for local gossip.
That’s all we can share for the time being, and we want to thank you again for your support and patience. Be sure to download your spooky treat while free and check out the latest update. And we hope you will stick around, to see what new features and content the future has in store for Star Trucker!

Hop into the driver’s seat of your rocket-powered big rig as you haul cargo, scavenge for salvage and interact with an eclectic cast of star-hopping truckers in this Americana-infused journey on the ultimate open road – space!
HAUL AND HOLLER
Cruise the hyper highways, taking on a variety of jobs such as fuel hungry long hauls and hazardous drop-offs to earn cash and unlock new content.
And don’t forget to monitor the CB radio for chatter from fellow truckers; it’s a fantastic way to uncover side gigs and stay updated on galactic gossip.
MANAGE AND MAINTAIN
Keeping your rig runnin’ isn’t always easy. You’ll need to keep your core systems online, gravity compensator spinnin’ and hull patched to prevent your cab from leaking lung juice.
Be sure to make pre-trip shop stops for replacement parts, and consider upgrading your truck at a local garage. These improvements are vital for safely navigating volatile sectors and ensuring timely deliveries.
HYPERJUMP!
Use the galactic map to plan your journey and warp jumps, while keeping an eye on your fuel reserves and power levels.
Once your route is set, kick back, crank up the cab hi-fi and cruise to a selection of original songs covering starburst blues, galactic rock and asteroid infused americana. The open road is waiting!
