| Unity's UNET Service Shutdown and Online Play | 2026-01-19 | Unity UNET ShutdownSatellite Reign's online multiplayer component was built on Unity's UNET service. In 2025, Unity shutdown this service, disabling matchmaking in all games that relied on it. As such, Satellite Reign's online matchmaking is no longer functional. Local MultiplayerUNET's shutdown doesn't impact Satellite Reign's local multiplayer feature, and so players can still connect via LAN. It should still be possible to play online using LAN and a VPN shared with your teammates.We know this is unfortunate news, and we do apologise. Because of Satellite Reign's age, we don't currently have plans to implement a new online matchmaking feat |

| Updated to V1.13.06 | 2016-08-11 | Hi everyone, We've just released an update for Satellite Reign. This build contains some significant changes to the networking backend. Basically, it allows players to connect to one another directly, rather than via the Unity relay servers (though the relay servers are still there as a fallback). This not only allows for significantly lower latency, but it should also get around some player's inability to play together from different regions. Having said that, while this should allow friends in different regions to connect, they still won't show up in the default server list. However, if you change your filter to "Friends" you should see any |

| New build on the coop_beta channel | 2016-07-29 | Hi everyone. We've been working on improving the network performance for Satellite Reign, as well as trying to help people in different regions play together. We've updated the beta channel we used before the Co-op release with a build which allows players to connect directly instead of via the Unity relay servers. In our small-scale testing, it has been a massive improvement, but we'd like to test it on a larger player pool before setting it live for everyone. To try it out, right-click on Satellite Reign in Steam, select Properties, and go to the BETAS tab. From there, click the drop-down box and choose coop_beta from the list. You will the |

| Multiplayer beta updated to v1.11.0 | 2016-06-17 | Hi everone, We've updated the co-op beta branch with some more fixes. A full list of the changes can be found below. We're still trying to track down the cause of a major connection issue, where players will stop recieving data from the host (everyone in the world seems to just stand still), but everything still appears fine on the host's end.
