Shiro Games released SpaceCraft into early access on Steam on June 11. The sci-fi MMO, where players explore galaxies, mine resources, build ships, and establish trade empires, quickly drew over 4,000 concurrent players at peak. However, Steam user reviews are currently mixed, with 69% of 315 reviews positive. The main complaints come from players who expected a single-player experience, partly due to the store page's 'Single-player' tag and a trailer focused on solo activities. Server issues also drew criticism. The game does not yet support Japanese in-game display.
