Upcoming changes to Relic Generation in White Stars

By Hades' Star
On the next server update, the limits to generate additional Relics on lower level White Star planets will be increasing greatly, putting a soft cap on Relic production there. Most Corporations will not be able to generate more than 3 Relics on those planets.  Specifically, on L1 planets, the first 3 Relics will require 100 Hydrogen/Relic (unchanged), the next 7 20,000 Hydrogen/Relic, and beyond that 100,000 hydrogen/Relic.  On L5 planets, the first 3 relics will require 250 Hydrogen/Relic (unchanged), the next 7 5,000 Hydrogen/Relic, and beyond that 50,000/Relic. The requirements for L10 planets remain unchanged.  This change will be deployed on Friday, August 29, around 7 AM PST. White Stars in progress at that time will have the new hydrogen limits applied immediately. Please ensure you adjust pending orders to miners accordingly. The incentive behind this change is to force Corporations to capture and fight for L10 planets in order to win. We will be monitoring the ma...

Console apps are being discontinued

By Hades' Star
Today we are announcing that the console versions of the Hades' Star client are shutting down. Players on Xbox and PlayStation will not be able to access the game after October 1st. The reason for this shutdown is that console development and upkeep is a significant drain on the resources of our small team. We are forced to choose between keeping console versions up to date and providing significant, frequent updates to all of Hades' Star players. While the decision was not easy, we will not compromise the experience of the significantly larger player base on other platforms. We apologize to the existing console players, and encourage them to follow the instructions below or reach out to support@hadesstar.com to migrate their existing game to a supported platform. We have big plans for Hades' Star in the next few years, and can't wait to share more details in the months ahead.  If you have an account accessible both from consoles and mobile/Steam, you will not be able t...

Server update (August 2025)

By Hades' Star
This server update brings tweaks to the blue star matchmaking algorithm, including backend systems that will allow us to further tweak matchmaking without further downtime or maintenances. Future tweaks to blue star matchmaking will intentionally not be announced.  The goal of this and future tweaks is to encourage all players to upgrade their modules as high as possible for their level. If you see instances of mismatches, especially with players intentionally keeping their module levels now, please let us know at support@hadesstar.com (please include the Star name).

Server update and optional app update (June 2025)

By Hades' Star
 This server update adds support for a Yellow Star Credits event (see Events tab on the Leaderboards dialog for more information). The first event starts later this June. Note: You will need to get the optional app update (v6.555.3) in order to see accurate credit reward numbers on the screen during the event. If you are on the old app, the popup number when the shipment is being delivered will not show the total bonus awarded by the event. However, the correct amount of credits will still be added in the background, even if you have not updated your app. The optional app update is already available on Steam and will gradually become available for Android and iOS over the next week.
