In addition, the remaster also brings upgraded graphics and UI improvements that should appeal to both efficiency-driven veterans and newcomers.
Accompanying its release date announcement was the reveal of the Surviving Mars: Relaunched - Ultimate Edition, which also includes the Prime Mission Expansion Pass.

The sponsor grants “a unique Law Office building,” alongside “tools to manage diplomatic relationships with Earth - and funding, so long as you have the approval of colony factions.”
In Q2 2026, the Feeding the Future DLC expands food and production systems, adds deeper management options, as well as meal choices that affect comfort and sanity. Then, Q4 2026 brings us the Machine Utopia DLC, which is all about “mechanized labor and massive industrial options.”
