Oh how I've been waiting for this day. The game that swallowed several months of my life during lockdown, Satisfactory, is finally leaving early access and launching in 1.0 on September 10, just a hair over two months from today. Coffee Stain announced the release in a short, silly trailer that shows nothing new from the 1.0 update but does advertise surely its most important addition, flushable toilets. As we've written in the past, you can understand a lot about a game through its virtual toilets, and I look forward to reexperiencing Satisfactory with a new, empowered flush mindset.
There's a bit more Satisfactory news from the last month or so to catch up on pertaining to the 1.0 launch. Last week Coffee Stain announced that the price will increase from $30 to $40 before the 1.0 release. "This is to account for inflation, but also because we've spent many years improving the game since its initial release and initial price," community manager Snutt said. The price will be going up "shortly after" the current Steam and Humble summer sales end. The game is currently 50% off on Steam, making it just $15 / £14, so if you do want to play Satisfactory when it hits 1.0, now's really the time to grab it.
