Space Chef Serves Up Galactic Cooking Chaos This October

A Cosmic Culinary Adventure With a Release Date

Kwalee and BlueGooGames have confirmed that the interstellar cooking adventure Space Chef will officially launch on October 28 for PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

To mark the announcement, the studios released a new gameplay trailer that showcases the title’s offbeat charm — from bizarre alien worlds and strange flora to the wild variety of ingredients players can cook, craft, and collect.

A free demo is also available now on Steam, giving players a first taste of the galactic kitchen chaos to come.

Cooking, Crafting, and Surviving Among the Stars

Set in the eccentric Horseshoe Nebula, Space Chef blends cooking simulation, light survival mechanics, and open-ended exploration. Players step into the role of an ambitious intergalactic chef, travelling between planets to gather alien ingredients, experiment with recipes, and serve hungry patrons aboard a fully customisable space trailer.

Across five vibrant planets, players can hunt, harvest, and explore for over 100 alien ingredients and 180 unique creatures and plants. Along the way, you’ll battle space pirates, scour derelict stations, and uncover abandoned restaurants — all while searching for the best new flavour combinations in the galaxy.

Cook Up 140 Dishes and Build Your Restaurant Empire

Back at your space kitchen, it’s time to turn intergalactic chaos into culinary masterpieces. Space Chef offers more than 140 dishes to craft — from simple Beefle Skewers to the elusive Octoegg Surprise. Satisfying customers earns players Astronomical Culinary Excellence Stars, the ultimate mark of success in the galactic food scene.

As your reputation grows, you can choose to expand your operations: keep running your delivery service or transform your mobile trailer into a bustling sit-down restaurant. With complete freedom over menus, pricing, and hours of operation, the game lets you define what kind of restaurateur you want to be — vegetarian, carnivore, or chaos cook included.

Design, Decorate, and Make It Your Own

One of Space Chef’s standout features is its deep customisation system. Players can fully redecorate their space-trailer interiors, adding new floors, themed sections, and furniture collected across the galaxy. With over 150 furnishings and decorations available, every restaurant can reflect your own personality — from minimalist lounges to neon-lit diners straight out of a sci-fi dream.

The customisation goes beyond aesthetics, too. Upgrading kitchen appliances, ship components, and your chef’s gear unlocks new gameplay possibilities and faster service, encouraging experimentation with both style and efficiency.

Meet the Nebula’s Cast and Rival the Galactic Burger Empire

The Horseshoe Nebula is filled with quirky residents to meet and befriend, including Zoe the scrap dealer, Jack Bronzon the ex-space ace, and Zlurka the definitely-not-alien barman. These characters come with unique questlines, favourite recipes, and even romance options for players looking to mix business with pleasure.

Beneath the humour and slice-of-life storytelling lies a deeper mystery — the disappearance of your grandmother and the looming threat of Galactic Burger, a massive fast-food conglomerate intent on monopolising the galaxy’s cuisine. The game’s story promises equal parts comedy, heart, and corporate satire.
