KSP Enhanced Edition
We are getting closer to the release of KSP Enhanced Edition ’s first DLC; History and Parts Pack, as well as a console-optimized free update. Releasing on March 21, both the History and Parts Pack and the free update are filled with content, including new parts, revamps, suits and features that console players will be able to enjoy for the first time! The History and Parts Pack will cost $9.99 USD on both PlayStation Store and Xbox Marketplace. Mun Launch Site Alongside the Woomerang Launch Site, Dessert Complex and the Island Runway, console players will get an additional launch site in the DLC not currently available on PC: the new Mun Launch Site.

PC 1.7 Update
Our work on the 1.7 update for PC progresses and we are determined to fill this release with content and improvements that will continue to advance the KSP experience in various ways. Galaxy Cubemap replacement One long requested visual enhancement our team has implemented is the replacement of the game’s galaxy cubemap. Our artists carefully crafted this environment map to reflect a nicer color palette and more defined celestial objects, all while respecting the original star positions. You will also notice that we’ve doubled the resolution and no color bandings or other weird distortions are visible.

RV-105 RCS Revamp One of the small revamped engines is the RV-105 RCS Thruster Block. This has received a well-deserved makeover and will display brand new textures and emissive maps, as well as an adjustment to its geometry. This way these small monopropellant thrusters will not only continue to help us with attitude control and linear motion, but look great while doing so!

The extra-large Mk12A and the huge Mk16A Protective Nose Cones, look similar, but that won’t stop them to make your enormous rockets and crafts a little more aerodynamic.

It’s important to mention that we are evaluating our players’ feedback and making some adjustments to the UI, so stay tuned!
