Press release -
Co-Op Space Adventure ‘Jump Ship’ Will be Playable During Steam Next Fest!
Anyone can take to the stars in the ultimate spacefaring fantasy and battle their way through the galaxy this June.
Stockholm, 23rd May 2025 — Keepsake Games, a Swedish game studio founded by industry veterans from Hazelight, Mojang and Coffee Stain, are excited to announce that their upcoming space co-op adventure Jump Ship will be launching a playable demo as part of the upcoming Steam Next Fest that runs from June 9th - 16th. This presents an exciting opportunity for players to jump into the chaotic, cooperative spacefaring action and get hands-on with the game ahead of its Early Access launch this Summer
Jump Ship is a co-op focused FPS where up to four players team up as a crew and work together to take on high-octane survival scenarios in the thick of space. Jump Ship offers seamless transition between operating the ship, venturing out on spacewalks, or engaging in high-stakes on-foot combat, making every adventure different to the last. Whether players are boarding enemy vessels or exploring the next part of the galaxy, the goal of everyone is to survive with the full crew intact and make another jump.
The world of Jump Ship is as beautiful as it is perilous, with stunning handcrafted celestial settings framing the endless expanse of the galaxy. At any time, the crew could be met with solar flares or meteor showers, requiring players to be constantly on guard. As crews jump from system to system, between vast planets and all consuming asteroid rings, they will be immersed in a world that changes as quickly as the action does
“This is a massive moment for Jump Ship, getting hands-on impressions from our biggest test group yet,” says Daniel Kaplan, CEO of Keepsake Games. “We're an extremely passionate team who have given our all to this game and feel it is now ready for the world to experience before we launch into Early Access later this year. The playable demo will offer a great opportunity for players to check out what we’ve been building and share their thoughts with us - we're so excited to see what everyone thinks!
Following the playable demo, Jump Ship will enter Early Access on PC and Xbox this summer. Players can wishlist the game now on Steam and Xbox, join the official Discord to connect with the team, or visit the official website for more details. You can find the official press kit here.
