Free Stars: The Ur-Quan Masters Available to Play

LAUNCH FIGHTERS! Free Stars: The Ur-Quan Masters is now available to download, play, and celebrate on Steam! If you’ve never experienced the award-winning space saga before, it’s now easier to play than ever. If you know someone who hasn’t, now it’s even easier for them too. BikeMan will be hosting us on a special stream tonight to celebrate and play the game.

But our mission has only begun. The Alliance of Free Stars still needs you!

Get The Word Out

We don’t know how to tell you this, but there are real, live people out there – some of which who may naively claim to know true happiness – who have not experienced The Ur-Quan Masters. We know… we know. We’re shocked, appalled, and turgid too.

Captain, those people need your help! They need to know we are out here, they are not alone, and they are not only welcome in our mighty fleet, but a key to our success in the journey to come. We must task you with an important mission: spread the word and inform those who are unaware of Free Stars: The Ur-Quan Masters!

Priority Override: Contact Alien Species

The universe is vast, and fans of amazing games inhabit their own spheres of influence. Venture forth, spreading word of Free Stars: The Ur-Quan Masters. Share the Steam page, our website, and articles others may write about it!

  • Share online on social media outlets like Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit.
  • Post in gaming communities like forums you’re a part of.
  • Distribute video content you record on Twitch and YouTube as live streams, lets-plays, or deeply thoughtful video essays on Juffo-Wup.

If you know content creators you love in any of those spaces, like other streamers, writers, or people who like sharing information about games, tell them about the game too. They, too, can be powerful allies!

New Behavior Dictated: Full Steam Ahead

Being on Steam is the most special part of our new release, and you can participate there too. In the vastness of gaming space, anything that helps us stand out will help new players be excited to pick it up.

  • If you’ve played it, leave a review so your friends and enemies can know how you feel. The more reviews we get, the more everyone will know just how many people have gotten to play this game. Even Darwin would agree: one thumb goes a long way.
  • Help other players find the game by tagging the release with your favorite tags. Steam doesn’t have a “best game of all time” tag, but perhaps something like Cult Classic will do.
  • Participate in the community hub by sharing guides, fan art, and screenshots you love.

More to Come

As a reminder, we are also out there helping to spread the word of Free Stars: The Ur-Quan Masters with you and giving you things you can share with your communities beyond just the game too! Last week, we shared our discussion with Tim Cain, who also is a big fan. We have plenty more to come, and we’ll be sharing another chat with Ken Levine on the 20th. Subscribe to our YouTube channel to catch all the goods as they emerge, or join us on Patreon to get early access to even more.

We’re excited to have you as part of our mission, and this is just the start. We have more to come soon for our current project.

Join us on Reddit, Patreon, and Discord to support the Alliance of Free Stars and be part of the awesome community!
