11 bit studios’ Sci-Fi Survival Adventure, The Alters, Demo Lands on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5

From the creators of the critically acclaimed This War of Mine, The Alters invites players into an intense sci-fi survival challenge—one that Jan can’t face alone. Console players can dive into the beginning of Jan’s journey right now with a demo available on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The full game, with the newest trailer aired during today’s PC Gaming Show Most Wanted, arrives on consoles and PC in 2025.

After crash-landing on a hostile planet under a blazing Sun, Jan must survive in a high-tech mobile base designed for a crew he doesn’t have. His luck changes when he discovers Rapidium, a resource that, when paired with the Quantum Computer, lets him create Alters—alternate versions of himself based on changing the pivotal decisions from his past.

The Alters aren’t just workers—they’re individuals with their skills, emotions, and motivations. While essential for keeping the base functional, crafting tools, and mining resources, their distinct personalities can spark tension. Despite their differences, they share a common goal: survive, escape, and rely only on themselves.

The game explores the timeless question: “What if I had chosen differently?” This core theme fuels a deeply personal and thought-provoking narrative as players navigate Jan’s struggle for survival.
