What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We decided to go for early access with this title to involve the community in the development of the game so that we can create a game experience that is in line with players' expectations. In the early access phase, we will continuously work on content updates to expand the scope of the game. These content updates will be released in regular intervals. Aside from that, we will collect player feedback, wishes and criticism to add these to improve updates where possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are currently planning for a full release sometime in 2026.”

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

“The full version will have a lot more content than the Early Access version. We plan on expanding the game world, adding more content missions, and introducing new ships. Additionally we will evaluate player feedback and criticisms to create further updates. Take a look at our Early Access Roadmap on Trello: https://trello.com/b/zO1F3oJg/seafarer-the-ship-sim-early-access-roadmap”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Early Access will give you a first look at key features and content, allowing you to experience and shape the game before its full release. While we’re not revealing everything just yet, you can expect a variety of missions such as coastguard operations and cargo transport, meticulously crafted ships, and a stunning open maritime world.”

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

“The pricing will most likely be increased when leaving Early Access.”

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

“We have an in game bug reporting system. Additionally, please leave your feedback in the bug channel on Discord or in the Steam discussion board so that we can collect and evaluate all feedback.”

Immerse yourself in the beautiful world of Seafarer: The Ship Sim and experience dynamic wave simulation and weather conditions.

Your Maritime Career Awaits

Seafarer: The Ship Sim invites you to take the helm of your career. Interact with different factions, each offering their own missions, challenges, and rewards. Transport goods from harbor to harbor, be a firefighter on the open sea, or simply explore the massive world – you’ll find endless opportunities to experience your very own seafaring adventure. From the humble charm of a small tugboat to the colossal power of an ocean-going cargo vessel, the game features unique ships, each meticulously crafted. Out on the open sea, unexpected encounters await – answer a desperate call for help or salvage lost goods.

Play the game in Story Mode and enjoy an interesting narrative that spans all the factions over several missions. If you prefer, jump straight into seafaring action in Quickplay Mode. Create your ideal seafaring character with the character editor to add a personal touch to your journey by customizing your captain’s appearance.
