  • Voyagers adds fully buildable Corvettes with interiors you can explore, spacewalking, crewing with friends, and a new expedition to speed access to the shipyard and core parts.
  • Hello Games released version 6.02 with many Corvette-related fixes after early reports of editor validation issues and stability quirks.
  • A 60% discount has pushed visibility and sales on Steam, with the offer running through September 8 and the game jumping 42 places to reach No. 2 on the Steam Deck chart.
