1.9.6 Sep 25, 2026
Driftbound 1.9.6: two war cards say what they mean.<br>• A captured captain&#39;s card now names the real stations that take them, system by system, instead of &quot;a Combine station&quot;. Capture one while docked at the right station and the handover happens on the spot.<br>• The Total War commission card showed its internal name and no rule. It now reads Total War, with what it does spelled ou

Driftbound 1.9.5: a stability pass.<br>• Fixed a whole class of crashes that could close the game mid-session — most often when changing tabs while an operation was running, or during a fight.<br>• Crash reports now pin down the moment things went wrong instead of the moment just before, so anything still lurking gets found faster.<br>• Coming back from time away stays instant, as it became in 1.9

A mining run, a profitable trade route, or one more pirate to take down. What does your ship need next? Driftbound is an idle space RPG where you start with one ship and work your way from the safe core worlds to the lawless rim. Mine, craft, trade and fight through a procedurally generated universe. Set your ship to work, close the game and come back to see how it went. MAKE A LIVING IN SPACE Mine asteroid belts, harvest gas, scan for salvage and turn raw materials into better gear. Stations have their own economies, so a full cargo hold is worth more if you know where to sell it. Take delivery jobs, follow leads from station residents, or carry contraband past customs if you're willing to risk your cargo. PICK A SIDE IN THE FACTION WAR Earn a faction's trust and take its oath. Complete three Orders a week, climb ten Merit ranks and choose a doctrine that suits how you play. Patrols, deliveries and scans help push your side's front. Watch systems change hands, hunt named captains, intercept convoys and work towards a Warlord's stronghold. Special war encounters wait for you to start the fight. BUILD A SHIP THAT CAN HANDLE IT Fit weapons, shields, engines and cargo upgrades. Craft equipment, collect rare modules and choose perks for the jobs you enjoy. Fight pirates with automatic weapons, then decide when to fire a missile, repair or get out. Better gear opens up tougher places with better salvage. THERE'S MORE AFTER YOUR FIRST RUN Follow the campaign and faction stories, hatch space pets and collect outfits and trophies. Re-enlist to earn Renown for permanent Admiralty upgrades. Push into harder Deep Runs or descend into the Undertow to see how far your build can take you. Your pets stay with you when you re-enlist. PLAY AT YOUR OWN PACE Travel, work, pet incubation and ordinary combat can progress while you're away. The return report shows what happened, and you can carry on with a mission or change your plans. Offline play works without the online features. Connect when you want to trade with other players on the Exchange, see nearby pilots or try a friendly duel. No ads, in-app purchases or subscriptions. No account signup required. Pixel-art ships and worlds, adjustable text size, and nine languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Czech, Bulgarian and Simplified Chinese.
