Jupiter Junkworks Announced for Steam
Melbourne-based studio Pixel Drake has announced their upcoming arcade sci-fi puzzle game Jupiter Junkworks is launching on PC (via Steam) in 2026, with an Early Access launch slated for late 2025. A demo is also available to download now in time for Steam Next Fest.
In Jupiter Junkworks, complete contracts to earn resources, rebuild a run-down spaceship junkyard, and unlock upgrades. Dive into a sci-fi narrative campaign where an unlikely trio of travelers from far corners of the solar system must learn to work together. But unknown to them, something awaits beyond the vault.
Set in a high-tech future among Jupiter's moons, the story follows Ryla, Grant, and Jun—a misfit trio from vastly different corners of the solar system. After an unexpected twist of fate leaves them broke and stuck with a run-down spaceship salvage yard, they'll have to work through their differences and pool their skills to turn Jupiter Junkworks into something worth fighting for.
"Jupiter Junkworks is our debut title and we're extremely excited to share what we've been working on with everyone," shared Pixel Drake founder Will Deragon. "This demo release marks the first time the full team's work will be in-game and it is amazing to see how each member's unique style and flair have come together. For many of the team, this is their first time working on a game professionally, so it is quite surreal to see it now being available on Steam. We're incredibly proud of how far we've come and can't wait to continue building our final vision and sharing the trio's story with the world. And none of this could've happened without the support of Screen Australia, who we are deeply grateful to."
