The Planet Crafter

The Planet Crafter is an open-world survival game developed and published by the French studio Miju Games for Windows. Players awaken in a crashed spacecraft, tasked with terraforming a barren planet to make it habitable. Gameplay involves gathering resources, crafting tools, building machines, and gradually transforming the environment.

The game was initially created by two developers before the team grew to six members over the course of production. It entered early access on March 24, 2022, and was officially released on April 10, 2024. In October 2024, Miju Games released the first downloadable content (DLC) for the game, titled "Planet Humble". This was followed "The Moons Update" in May 2025, which added two more celestial objects to terraform, and "Toxicity" in November 2025.

The Planet Crafter received generally positive reviews, with critics praising its terraforming systems, sense of progression, and relaxing sandbox gameplay. Critics also noted the limited map, quality-of-life issues, and game-balancing concerns. Player reception was similarly favorable, and the game sold over one million copies by June 2024.
