<div class="field-item even">
<p>Astroneer, a new space exploration game, is set to launch into game preview for <a href="http://ift.tt/10g5bkb">Xbox One</a> and <a href="http://ift.tt/1sIO3gc">Windows 10</a> on December 16.  On launch, the game will also support Microsoft&#8217;s Xbox Play Anywhere initiative, meaning you can buy the game once and play on both platforms for no extra charge.</p>
<p>Initially revealed in late 2015, the game&#8217;s visuals look stunning thanks to an art style that is quite the standout. As for the gameplay, it sounds promising if you&#8217;re into exploring beautiful environments and manipulating the ground beneath your feet. From <a href="http://ift.tt/2gFXWJP" title="" rel="nofollow">Xbox Wire</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Astroneer is a game about independent space explorers prospecting the stars for fortune and glory. This is a game about discovery and mystery, as you uncover rare artifacts and the resources you need to find, on vast worlds where every cubic inch of space can be explored. It&#8217;s a game about creativity, as you use your tools to dig, build, sculpt, and shape the very ground to serve your needs, whether utilitarian or aesthetic. It&#8217;s a game about solitude, as you enjoy the beauty of your surroundings as you might on a long hike or camping trip. It&#8217;s also a game about cooperation, as you invite your friends to share the experience with you in multiplayer co-op.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Of course, the game is entering the Game Preview program, so it&#8217;s bound to feel incomplete with oodles of bugs, glitches and other kinks that will be worked out over time. However, If you&#8217;re interested in getting in on the game early, the first alpha release will be available starting December 16 on both Xbox One and Windows 10.</p>
