What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

TAXINAUT is going into full release February 5th 2026. Without the kind people who bought (or otherwise supported) TAXINAUT during Early Access I wouldn't have been able to shape TAXINAUT in what it is now. The hope was that Early Access would give me the time to flesh out TAXINAUT (this part succeeded) while at the same time building up a community around it (this part succeeded not so much).”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

The full version (V1.0) will release on February 5th 2026.

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“In its current state the game is fully featured. This game has been in Early Access since 2022 and a lot has been added since. Between now (July 2025) and the full release (February 2026) the game will receive some polish, bug-fixes and possibly some new items and planets but nothing major otherwise.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is stable and fully featured.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

The price is changing August 2025 to $19.99 / €19.99 / ₤19.99. This will be the price it still will have at full (V1.0) release in February 2026.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The time for this has more or less passed (it's been in Early Access since 2022). Of course I'm very happy to hear anything you have to say about TAXINAUT but unless it's a bug or something really big it's unlikely to make it into V1.0.”

About This Game

TAXINAUT is an open-world space-taxi sim / RPG in which you play a war veteran searching for a missing friend in the underbelly of a far away galaxy while trying to make ends meet as a taxi pilot.

Explore an open galaxy as a lonely TAXINAUT carrying fares across alien worlds. Descent onto planets and fly over alien cities and landscapes. Land at bars, diners, garages and many other common and exotic locations. Interact with the locals to ask for directions or learn about the many esoteric and sinister aspects of the Kyprei-41 galaxy. Experience a variety of items and effects like food, equipment, weapons, damages, repairs, injuries, diseases, cures, mental states, permits, memberships, etc.

Your search for "Birdie" will take you into a dark world of exploitation and cloning, and maybe give some insight into the nature of VUDU (the galaxy's currency, energy and life-force), cycling (the act of dying and being reborn) and the Nexus (an ancient network of places where VUDU can be stored and people are reborn).

Improve your clone by using "Gongs". Buy different ships and add mods to them. Rent or buy a home and find sources for items so you can buy them at your home.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

As a taxi driver in TAXINAUT you explore the underbelly of a sci-fi fantasy world. Things like: sexual exploitation, slavery, drug & alcohol abuse, organ-trade, violent crime and depravity are kind of the subject of the game. You should expect occasional descriptions, interactions and images of a violent, sexual, and/or mildly disturbing nature including drug-abuse, self-harm and sexual assault. They are always short, not detailed and in an unrealistic, often comical, fantasy comic-book-like style and setting.
