Xbox Game Pass subscribers will be able to jump into the game with their friends on day one and get to work creating their homestead on a peaceful alien planet with the help of a customizable mech suit. Up to four players can join together to settle and farm while learning to coexist with the mysterious planet loaded with ancient secrets.
Lightyear Frontier will allow for solo or cooperative player with gamers discovering their own interplanetary neighborhoods and banding together to protect their crops from the various hazards that may pop up on this alien world. Like many other farming simulators, players will need to gather and grow resources, craft buildings and equipment, and share their work with others via a Merchant while still maintaining the fragile ecosystem for the planet.
