Press release:
Vienna, Austria / Karlstad, Sweden – July 9th, 2024: T-21.
The Vienna-based (Austria) video games publisher THQ Nordic and Karlstad-based (Sweden) indie games developer Mirage Game Studios , are today super excited and happy to announce that their sci-fi strategy/sim “Space for Sale“, is coming to Steam Early Access on July 30th, 2024.

T-21 daysdays, Ladies and Gentlemen! Fifty-five years ago, in July 1969, mankind took its first steps on the moon, ending the race to space. Described as “a small step for a man, a giant leap for mankind,” this historic event marked the beginning of a new era.

our cozy space simulation game, Space for Sale, will launch into early access orbit on Steam, inviting players from all galaxies to join the fun. We shall let future generations decide if this day also marks a historic event of similar magnitude for all mankind.

Space for Sale offers an immersive experience of exploring exotic alien planets, constructing charming habitats for a demanding interplanetary clientele, and learning about each planet’s unique flora and fauna to better adapt to it.

While we haven’t invented time travel yet and cannot launch our interplanetary adventure immediately, we are thrilled to announce that a playable demo of Space for Sale is available right now on Steam.
