Major Updates and Improvements Arrive on shapez 2
Indie developer tobspr Games has officially launched shapez 2 on PC via Steam, following an impressive Early Access run that surpassed 700,000 copies sold. The game arrives priced at $29.99, with a 20% launch discount and an additional 10% bonus for owners of the original title. During Early Access, it also secured an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating, with 97% of players praising its addictive automation gameplay.
The full 1.0 release brings several major additions, led by the new Manufacture Mode. This mode allows players to construct large, permanent factories using more advanced layouts, deeper resource chains, and Trade Stations that transform shapes through specific recipes. Trade Stations can now also expand into Classic Mode, introducing fresh milestones, new shapes, and tougher challenges while keeping the Vortex at the center of progression.
Alongside these changes, the update introduces achievements that reward creative experimentation across different modes, a new Dark Mode option, upgraded visuals, and five additional soundtracks. Performance improvements ensure smoother operation even for massive, complex factories. The game also now supports full modding through Steam Workshop, giving players the freedom to create and share custom content while still tracking in-game progress.
Just in case you haven’t heard about shapez 2, it’s a game where players design sprawling automated systems in space, cutting, rotating, stacking, and painting geometric shapes to meet growing production demands. They will expand the factories across layered platforms, making it more efficient and optimizing it to become successful.
Overall, the 1.0 launch marks a strong milestone, delivering the most polished and feature-complete version of the game yet.
