(Lost Ark blew up <em>huge <\/em>in February 2022 to the tune of 1,325,305 concurrent players, but it&#8217;s a free-to-play MMO so that feels like cheating.) Still, the trend is mostly true: early in the year there&#8217;s almost always some big co-op hit that busts the doors off Steam.<\/p>\n<p>These games are usually pretty inexpensive, especially in comparison to the eye-watering $70 price tags of some games these days, and they&#8217;re often early access, survival-ish, basebuilder-y games. I hereby declare this an official trend and an annual tradition.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m bringing this up because, wouldn&#8217;t you know it? <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1631270\/StarRupture\/\">StarRupture<\/a>, the co-op sci-fi basebuilder from Creepy Jar, makers of the excellent <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/815370\/Green_Hell\/\">Green Hell<\/a>, is out in early access on January 6. And for me, it fits the bill for a potential early-year co-op smash.<\/p>\n<p>First, it&#8217;s pretty darn cheap: StarRupture&#8217;s base price is a mere $20, and there&#8217;s a launch discount of 20% so you can jump in for just $16. I feel like the pricing floor has risen right along with the ceiling, so games that would have been $20 a couple of years ago are now going for $30. That makes this a nice and welcome surprise for a new game, even one in early access.<\/p>\n<p>Second, it&#8217;s got a lot of what co-op players love, like building bases with friends and getting chased by weird monsters (in this case, alien bugs). And for the Satisfactory crowd, there&#8217;s huge supply chains to set up and manage, and automated factories to construct and upgrade.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e0GBfgSq_5Q\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>I&#8217;ve only just dipped in to the early hours of StarRupture myself, but it&#8217;s got a lot going for it: a big map with a whole buncha weird-looking stuff off in the distance that makes me want to explore, a pretty engaging tutorial that only hints at what&#8217;s possible with survival and crafting, and an alien star in the sky that I can only assume, at some point, is going to rupture. I haven&#8217;t played enough yet to recommend it, but I&#8217;m definitely going back in for more this week.<\/p>\n<p>Will this be the big co-op hit that always (fine, almost always) rings in the new year?
