Hey Exofarmers! We've had a lot of questions about transferring your save files from Xbox to Steam, so we put together a lil' guide!🤠 lightyearfrontier.com/how-to-migrate…

Hotfix now live on Steam, should be available on Xbox in a few hours. More details: store.steampowered.com/news/app/16771…

Hey everyone! We've seen a lot of reports about crashing and sessions failing to load. Currently we have an issue where the holograms for Connector Pipes are not clearing before they're saved. This leads to a duplication glitch where the game eventually tries to load in lots and lots of actors when you load a save file. This leads to crashing. We're working on a fix right now and hope to have it out within the next few hours, so sit tight! Thank you for everyone who's reported the issue.

@wintersmith81 We're looking into it for after 1.0 is out! Currently Switch 2 dev kits are quite tricky to get access to.

@PlayLightyear That's ace! What's the chance of a switch 2 version?

Good news, everyone! We're now published by Coffee Stain Publishing! 🥳 Save 40% on Lightyear Frontier in the Coffee Stain Publisher Sale: store.steampowered.com/sale/CoffeeSta… Get the Far Out Factory Farming bundle to save on Lightyear Frontier and Satisfactory! store.steampowered.com/bundle/69858/F…

No way to transfer saves, but you could make Shared copies of your Xbox save files and join them via your Steam account. If you do this you will retain everything about the world state (completed deliveries, amount of days, buildings etc) but not your character progression (completed quests, mech upgrades, loadouts etc). It will be like you're a new player joining the save for the first time. To make this transition a bit easier, you could recycle your crafted Parts and Mods and put them in storage so you can easily re-craft everything. Hope that helps!

@PlayLightyear Sad it’s going out of Game Pass, really enjoyed it while it’s there! Is there a way to get my saves from the Xbox version to Steam?

@stp366 @Coffee_Stain We're looking into porting after the 1.0 release! Sony generally does not allow Early Access games on PSN.

@Coffee_Stain @PlayLightyear any plans for ps5 release

The Automation Update for @PlayLightyear is massive. New tools to play with, a mech-tric ton of improvements, and jetpacks! Also, the Coffee Stain Publisher Sale happening right now on Steam, so it's the perfect time to start your exofarming life.

Going live now! Come hang out and watch a developer play the Automation Update! @PlayLightyear" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@PlayLightyear twitch.tv/framebreakdev steamcommunity.com/broadcast/watc…

While we were updating the Steam page for the Automation Update, we also took the time to list out all the accessibility features in Lightyear Frontier! We hope this info helps y'all!🤠

@JordanBKelly Understandable! We still have some stuff left in Early Access, so if the Automation Update today doesn't hook you then I hope 1.0 will! We won't be adding combat, but we're looking at improving the boulders, floaters, tornadoes etc to make exploration more engaging.

@PlayLightyear I played the game a few times now and I enjoy it alot but without like combat and more unique things for actual survival it's just.....not done in my eyes

Hey Exofarmers. After two years, our deal with Microsoft is ending and Lightyear Frontier will be leaving Game Pass on 15 March 2026. Lightyear Frontier will be 40% off on the Microsoft Store from 10 March - 23 March to help with the transition. We will keep updating the Xbox version with updates and patches. It’s been a great ride, and we would not have been able to make Lightyear Frontier without Microsoft’s help!

@EternalRhage No new achievements in this update! Achievements can't be changed once they're implemented, so we've been careful about adding them during Early Access so they don't block us from making changes if needed. We know a lot of y'all want 'em though, so we're gonna add more for 1.0!

@PlayLightyear Does the new update add achievements? The last one did not, and it was harder to lure my buddies back into playing with me despite how much we enjoyed it the first time around.

@GGCS23 We're looking into it for after 1.0! We've seen a lot of y'all wanting this, so make some noise and let Sony know! 🤠

@PlayLightyear Waiting for the PS5 version!!
