Overview
- Windrose entered PC Early Access with a Very Positive Steam rating and more than 25,000 concurrent players reported by SteamDB.
- Originally planned as a PvP game called Crosswinds, the project was rebuilt into a cooperative PvE survival experience after alpha feedback.
- Players explore an open world, build bases, craft gear, hire NPCs for ships and stations, and engage in fast ship-to-ship combat with boarding.
- The developers say Early Access will run one to three years and that the launch build includes about half of the planned content.
- Early reviews note solid stability but report performance slowdowns during world streaming and hosting, plus at least one co-op disconnect.
