"It's been a minute": 11 years later, this former Terraria dev's sci-fi sandbox game is finally coming to Xbox

Arguably standing the test of time as one of the best crafting games to date, Starbound is now finally coming to Xbox after 11 long years on PC.

I first played Starbound, the sci-fi sandbox gem headed by former Terraria lead Finn Brice, in 2016. My memories of using Hamachi to create a server with friends are dear to my heart, and I'd be lying if I said that I haven't long awaited a new update. While there likely isn't one in the works to follow patch 1.4.4 from 2019, a new breath of life is coming to the game nonetheless - in the form of an Xbox release, over a decade after the PC launch.
