Classic space exploration game gets new name and free Steam launch

Classic space exploration game gets new name and free Steam launch

If you’ve never heard of Free Stars: The Ur-Quan Masters before, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was a pretty unfortunately named throwback space game in the vein of classics like Star Control, Starflight, or Starcom. As it turns out, that’s more than a coincidence. Free Stars: The Ur-Quan Masters is actually the new name for 1992’s Star Control 2: The Ur-Quan Masters, freshly re-titled and now set to be launched on Steam for free next Monday February 19.
