Kerbal Space Program studio Squad has finally brought development of its acclaimed space flight sim to a close, over a decade after the game's first public release.
Kerbal Space Program – which initially launched into early access via Squad's website in 2011 – gives players the opportunity to build and pilot their own fully-functional spaceships, rockets, and vehicles (while managing all aspects their alien race's quest for the stars if they choose), using actual proper science-y systems, from realistic aerodynamic to orbital physics.
Since leaving early access back in 2015, Kerbal Space Program has remained in active development, receiving numerous updates and expansions along the way – there's even a free "next-gen" update for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S due this autumn. However, Squad has now confirmed – after warning players the space flight sim's 1.12 update would be its last major release back in June – that its decade-plus-long journey is officially at an end.
