Where Sails to Stars is coming

Nothing is released yet. This is the plan, in the order we expect to get there. Store links go here as each one goes live.

Planned platforms and stores for Sails to Stars
DevicesStoreStatusNotes
iPhone and iPad App Store Coming first The first release. The app is in development now, and beta testers will get it through Apple’s TestFlight.
Mac App Store, on Apple silicon Macs Coming first The same app can run on Macs with Apple silicon (M1 and later), from the Mac App Store.
Windows Steam Planned A desktop version for Steam, after the iPhone and iPad release.
Mac Steam Planned The Steam version for Mac, including Intel Macs.
Linux Steam Planned The Steam version for Linux. Steam Deck needs controller support first, so it comes later.
Android phones and tablets Google Play Planned After the first releases. Google asks new games to run a closed test first, so Android testers will help us get there.
Windows Microsoft Store Considering Possible later, using the same Windows version as Steam.

Why iPhone and iPad first

The game already plays well with a finger, and the iPhone and iPad app is the furthest along. On a Mac with Apple silicon, the same app runs from the Mac App Store, so Mac players get it at the same time.

Steam and Android next

Steam brings the game to Windows, Mac, and Linux in one go, with keyboard and mouse controls that already work today. Android follows, and Android testers from the beta help us meet Google’s testing step for new games.
