Forever Skies is a survival game played from a first-person perspective. Players must craft tools and materials and find food and water to survive whilst customizing an airship that serves as the home base and primary method of travelling the world. Co-operative gameplay with up to four people is also supported. Set in the future when the Earth has been ravaged, players must find a cure for humanity. There are two mutually exclusive endings, and players can choose to save or fail to save humanity.
Development and release
Development and release
Far From Home, a polish development studio, announced their debut project Forever Skies in January 2022. The game initially went under the working title Project Oxygen and was scheduled to release on Windows in 2022, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions scheduled for a later date. The launch of the game for Windows was delayed to the first half of 2023 due to the developers receiving feedback from the demo and were expanding the game's scope. Forever Skies subsequently launched in early access on Steam on 22 June 2024. Co-operative play was added to the game in the 'World Evolved & Co-op Update'. The full version was released on 14 April 2025 for Windows via Steam and PlayStation 5. A version for the Xbox Series X/S was released on 27 July 2026.
