Surviving Mars Pioneer | Launch Trailer

Tomorrow, Surviving Mars: Pioneer leaves Early Access and launches in full 1.0 on Steam VR and Meta Quest, now with Meta Quest 2 support. A PlayStation VR2 release follows on September 12, 2025, with the standalone VR survival sim priced at $24.99 USD. Unlike the original Surviving Mars, Pioneer is not a city builder reimagined for VR but a first-person survival experience where every breath, step, and decision matters. Players weld structures, power bases, and adapt to the Martian frontier as contracts from rival factions drive progression, offering rewards in blueprints, technology, and resources while raising the stakes with every mission. The 1.0 release delivers the most significant update yet, with an overhauled building system that allows structures to connect seamlessly through expanded roof and ground options, new connector types, and additions such as Roof Platforms, Stairs, Railings, and a Vertical Airlock. The new Viewpod structure lets pioneers safely take in the Martian horizon, while interior color customization adds personal flair. The world has expanded with new caves beneath the surface and a narrative ending for those who endure. Achievements are now live across all platforms, with enhanced visuals on Steam VR and PS VR2 alongside extensive optimizations and fixes. On PlayStation VR2, Pioneer takes full advantage of the hardware. Headset rumble conveys collapsing tunnels, controller haptics recreate the crunch of cables or landslides, and eye tracking with dynamic foveated rendering ensures sharp detail. Running at native 90Hz, survival on Mars feels fluid and lifelike. Developed by Bolverk Games and published by Impact Inked in association with Paradox Interactive, Surviving Mars: Pioneer was built from the ground up as a VR-native survival sim. Leaving Early Access marks a new chapter shaped by community feedback, offering a more tactile, dangerous, and rewarding vision of Mars.
