"Chucklefish Games' Starbound could be classified as "Terraria in space" - but then Terraria could also be considered "Minecraft in 2D"."
Seven titles are set to leave Xbox Game Pass on January 31, including Citizen Sleeper 2, Starbound, and Orcs Must Die Deathtrap.
I’ll finish citizen sleeper 1 tonight. I guess if I plow through I may be able to finish part 2 before it leaves!
Starbound a crafting and exploration adventure game developed and published by Chucklefish is now available on Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X.
The latest episode of Dev Diary is a chat with Adam Riches from Chucklefish studios about his work on Wargroove, Starbound and more.
"“Sony actually approached us about putting the game on their platforms, so obviously they’ve been super co-operative and accommodating. Shahid [Ahmad] over at Sony is doing some great work getting indies involved, and it’s something we’re really happy to be a part of.”
As for why the game isn’t coming to the Xbox One, Raze said, “While there are no current plans for an Xbox One version of Starbound, it’s not something we’ve ruled out.”

Looks like Sony was very pro-active prior to launch. I would not be surprised if they retain an indie lead throughout this generation even though Microsoft is trying to cater more to the Indie scene.
Starbound is THE AAA Indie game.
This is a big catch.
Now, I am just waiting to see which console wants to win the most. B/c whichever one it is will either make a kick a$$ MOBA or get one. I can SOE making one.
Or I can see MS paying Riot a ton to get League on an xbone. If u wanna sell consolea and be esports legit again...get a MOBA. Its inevitable now that MMOs are coming. And its probably the most addictive game genre ever created.
I played the crap out of Terraria so ill keep my eye on this game
