Starsand PS4 – Desert Survival Adventure, 64 km² Open World, Crafting and Base Building, Day and Night Cycle – Retail Disc

The Starsand PS4 disc is a single-player desert survival adventure developed by Tunnel Vision Studio and published by Toplitz Productions, with the console version ported by Fantastico Studio. It released on PlayStation on 17 November 2022. After a sandstorm strikes during a long-planned run, you wake up alone in a hot, endless desert that looks like Earth yet feels very different. To stay alive you must find shade, water and food, craft weapons and build a shelter, while slowly uncovering what happened to you and how this place links to an extinct civilisation.

Alone in an Endless Desert

Starsand opens with a disaster. During a run you had planned for a long time, a sandstorm hits, and when you wake up you are alone in a vast desert. The official PlayStation Store description sets out the mystery at the heart of the game: what happened to you, where exactly you are, and how this land is connected to an extinct civilisation. As you explore, you find ruins, artefacts and creatures from the distant past, mixed with signs of modern times that do not seem to belong. The story is told through discovery and puzzles rather than long cutscenes, so piecing it together is part of the reward. The setting is a world that resembles Earth but feels strange and hostile, and the desert itself is as much an enemy as the creatures living in it.

Heat, Thirst, Crafting and Defence

Survival comes first. You manage heat by day and cold by night, search for water and food, and look for shade before the sun wears you down. You gather resources across the dunes to craft tools and weapons, then build and fortify a shelter that protects you from the weather and from danger. According to the PlayStation Store, insect-like predators come out of nests hidden in the dunes, so your base needs defences, and fire and explosive coconut grenades are among your weapons. Dynamic weather and a day and night cycle change how you plan each trip: a journey that is easy in the morning can become deadly after dark. Exploration of the open world of more than 64 km² rewards patient players with resources, ruins and clues that push the story forward.

Single Player and Offline Play

Starsand is a 1-player game, as listed on the PlayStation Store, and offline play is enabled, so you do not need an internet connection to survive in the desert. There is no co-op or multiplayer mode. Voice is in English, and the on-screen text languages listed on the store include English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Turkish, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese. The game is rated ESRB Teen for blood and violence. Remote Play is also supported, according to the store listing.

Retail Disc, Region and PS5

You receive a new, factory-sealed retail disc of Starsand for PS4. PS4 games are region-free, so the disc plays on any PS4 console. Starsand also has a separate PS5 version on the PlayStation Store; for this PS4 disc on PS5, most PS4 games run through backward compatibility on consoles with a disc drive, so check Sony’s list. Delivered across the UAE in up to 3 business days, free on orders from AED 300.

Who This Is Not For

Starsand is single-player only, so it is not for players who want survival co-op with friends. It is a slow survival game where much time goes into gathering, crafting and managing thirst and heat, which can feel repetitive. It comes from a small independent studio, so presentation is modest compared with big-budget games. Arabic is not among the listed languages, and the Teen rating means some blood.
