Interviews and Updates

Another patch? Yep, sometimes adding "Final" to any update means those bugs that have been lurking decide to come out to play, so we had to fix things up!

An additional Dev interview drops with the technical wizard RFG_Joseph joining us for a chat.

Also throwing in some gameplay, screenshots, Fan art and a little bit of lore.

----------------------------------------

🔹 Everspace 1 & 2 Gameplay

Continuation of our runs through the Belegrades avoiding death and conflict at every turn. We'll squeeze in as much of each game as we can!

🔸 Question and Answers

As always, we'll endeavour to answer the questions and queries from the chats if we can, so if you have anything you'd like to ask, make sure you fire it off in the chat.

🔹 Patch 1.5.57528

As we all know fixing bugs can unfortunately mean other things inadvertently break so our Final update wasn't so final after all, so we got things tidied up with a small update. 🐛

🔸 Dev Interview - RFG_Joseph

One of our technical wizards joined us recently for a chat about their role and the work they do behind the scenes here at RFG. A good watch with interesting insight into the technical side of things. 🤖

🔹 RFG Top Pic(k) + Fan Art

An amazing choice of screenshots again! You always blow us away with your photographic skills. Find out which Pilot scores the **RFG Top Pic(k)** this month. 🏆

🔸 EVERSPACE Lore

A little tidbit of lore about Adam Roslin and how he's linked to other famous people and a specific animal. 📜

----------------------------------------

If you can make it, grab a drink, park your bum and let's have a chat for a couple of hours about all things EVERSPACE!

See you later today - 11am PT / 2pm ET / 8pm CEST ⏱️

Greetings, Pilots!

Today, EVERSPACE 2 players on PC, XBOX, and PlayStation will see our final planned technical update! In addition to Steam Deck Verification, this free final update brings optimizations, community-requested bug fixes, and minor features to all versions of EVERSPACE 2.

ROCKFISH Games and our porting partner Engine Software learned a lot from the development of EVERSPACE 2 Galactic Edition for Switch 2 which we’re bringing back to other platforms. New handheld-specific UI updates improve readability on Steam Deck, the final barrier that held us back from Steam Deck Verified status. Performance on Xbox Series S in particular has also been improved.

Haven’t played one of our games or DLCs yet? A special Steam sale is live with discounts on EVERSPACE 2 content to celebrate the update’s release. Tell your friends!

Today’s update caps off the eight year EVERSPACE 2 project. This has been quite the journey from our initial announcement in 2019, and we’ve been lucky to have such a great community of space game fans along for the ride.

Barring any hotfixes, this will likely be the final update for EVERSPACE 2 as the team continues work on our next EVERSPACE project. Please continue to follow us on social media and YouTube for sales announcements, studio news, design deep dives, and more. We can’t wait to share what we’ve been crafting, but it will take some time until our next game is ready to show.

Until then, we’ll see you among the stars.

Your ROCKFISH Games team

Greetings, Pilots!

We’re excited to share EVERSPACE 2 is coming to Switch 2 as EVERSPACE 2 Galactic Edition! This all-in-one bundle containing EVERSPACE 2, EVERSPACE 2: Titans, EVERSPACE 2: Wrath of the Ancients, and the EVERSPACE 2 Supporter Pack will be available today, August 12, 2026, for $49.99 USD/Euro. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPw6dbCXcGA

EVERSPACE 2: Galactic Edition on Switch 2 provides a 30 fps experience with more than 50 hours of story and side content to play through. Space pilots will explore 10 star systems filled with more than 120 handcrafted locations packed with challenges and secrets to discover.
This version has been developed in tandem with our porting partner, Engine Software, the same team who we worked with on the XBOX and PlayStation versions of the game. We’re also happy to share that PC, XBOX, and PlayStation fans will soon see one last update in less than a month! We’re putting the finishing touches on a final, final update bringing optimizations, bug fixes, and small quality-of-life features to PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, improving the game on all platforms including PC handhelds. 

While it is too early to share anything more at this time, the team is hard at work on a new EVERSPACE project that will be very, very cool to space game fans. We appreciate all the support we’ve seen over the years from the EVERSPACE community and hope you’ll all continue to spread the word of EVERSPACE games. 

Onward to the future!

We're going Back to the Future - Great Scott!

Nothing's as good as a little bit of time travel. We're stepping back in time to our first title (as ROCKFISH Games) to the original EVERSPACE which was released a little over 9 years ago. u/RFG_Geekbyte will be challenging his skills against stronger & stronger enemies with an increase in the Death Counter a certainty. We're also taking a look at a new upcoming game from our friends over at Caged Element called GRIP XR.
Another EVERSPACE 2 Bomber race will be in the offing, plus numerous screenshots & fan-art creations from our community to show-off to our budding viewers.

 

🔹Everspace 1 Gameplay

Repeated deaths are not optional. How many - is anyone's guess, but we'll have fun trying to avoid increasing the Death Counter too much.

🔸Question and Answers

As always, we'll endeavour to answer the questions and queries from the chats if we can, so if you have anything you'd like to ask, make sure you fire it off in the chat.

🔹GRIP XR Demo

The team over at Caged Element are soon to be releasing onto Kickstarter a blazingly fast futuristic combat racing game with rocket-powered, flippable vehicles. Let's check it out.

🔸Ghost Fleet Race Challenge

What do you get if you add a Bomber, with no inertia dampeners, an easier race course and a pilot with questionable flying skills? I'm not quite sure, so let's find out when u/RFG_Geekbyte takes on the challenge at the Ghost Fleet.

🔹RFG Top Pic(k)

New pilots join the fray with some stunning images captured within our games. Let's find out which Pilot scores the RFG Top Pic(k) this month.
