- Players who prefer open journeys with side jobs and vehicle upgrades
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking combat-focused space gameplay rather than transport, maintenance, and navigation
- Those who want tightly scripted missions instead of hauling, salvage trading, and route-based work
- Players looking for a conventional starship simulator rather than a truck-centered space game
Our take on Star Trucker
Its defining constraint is that the vehicle is a truck in zero gravity, so momentum, system upkeep, and route planning shape every interstellar delivery.
What is Star Trucker?
Star Trucker is a space trucking simulation centered on a rocket-powered big rig rather than a starship.
Players take delivery jobs, including long hauls and hazardous drop-offs, while trading salvage and pursuing side work found through CB radio chatter. Zero-gravity momentum shapes vehicle handling, with routes planned through a galactic map and warp jumps. Keeping the truck operational requires monitoring fuel, power, core systems, the gravity compensator, and hull condition. Replacement parts can be bought during shop stops, while garages offer truck upgrades. Jobs provide cash and unlock additional content. The game also includes an eclectic cast of truckers, an Americana-influenced setting, and original music spanning blues, rock, and space-themed Americana.
