Approximately Up Launches on Steam to Very Positive Reviews
Approximately Games released Approximately Up on Steam on August 7, 2026. The cooperative spaceship-building simulation supports up to four players and has earned a "Very Positive" rating on Steam within its first day. As of the time of reporting, over 160 user reviews had been submitted, with 98 percent of them positive. The game is priced at 3,150 yen, with a 20 percent launch discount bringing it to 2,520 yen until August 17. Players start with a single frame and assemble thousands of parts, including thrusters, cables, and solar panels, to construct vessels capable of interplanetary travel. The game features 15 planets, each with distinct sizes, gravity, atmospheres, and temperatures, and most planets have stations that act as checkpoints and garages. Missions include delivering experimental energy sources that cause blackouts, transporting mysterious crystals that charge like timed bombs, and hauling enormous submarines. Flight is viewed from a first-person perspective on the ship's deck, and design quality directly affects travel time. The game also supports single-player mode.
