The creators of Goodbye Volcano High, KO_OP, made a sudden and unexpected choice today. They launched their new game Young Suns straight onto the Xbox platform. This story-driven game, which lets 1 to 4 people play together, is available immediately on Game Preview for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC (through the Microsoft Store). However, the game will not be on Steam until a future date that has not yet been shared.

Young Suns takes place in a hopeful, different future on the planet Jupiter. It asks players to enjoy a calm, friendly, and creative trip through space together. You get your own ship in a new, free society around Jupiter and your job is to help the people there rebuild and make their world better.

In the game, you can decorate and personalize your spaceship home with over 80 discoverable recipes and items, painting walls and creating a cozy nest. Additionally, character creation is fluid, allowing you to alter any aspect of your look during play. The game also features 30 fully realized characters, each with unique behaviors and over two months of unique daily chats.
