Upcoming Changes to Stellaris: Season 09

Hello everyone,

With the impending arrival of the Stellaris: Infernals Species Pack, we are excited to celebrate the completion of Season 09 - a year that saw us completing the remastering of Ascensions with BioGenesis and Shadows of the Shroud, and concluded with the most ambitious Species Pack to date.

As we wrap up Season 09, we want to ensure that you still have the opportunity to acquire any content you missed at a discounted price. With the release of the Infernals Species Pack, we can convert the Expansion Pass into a "Last Chance Bundle" customized to you.

What does this mean for you:

• A 22% discount will be applied to the bundle
• If you have already purchased some content from Season 09, you will get the possibility to benefit from the discount without having to repurchase content you own[list]
• For example, Mercedes Romero got really excited about Shadows of the Shroud, but did not feel like spending 44.99 USD for the whole Season 09, so she chose to purchase Shadows of the Shroud individually.
• Mercedes Romero sees how awesome Infernals is, and is also really itching to get BioGenesis to try Behemoth Fury. 
• She can now purchase both DLCs with a 22% discount while getting access to the Stargazer Species Portrait without having to repurchase Shadows of the Shroud.

This change ensures that every player can complete their collection fairly and at the best value, without having to pay twice for anything.

A couple of important notes:

• The Stellaris: Season 09 Last Chance Bundle will be available on Steam until January 16, 2026. [list]
• At that point, Season 09 will be retired, and all the content will be added to the Ultimate Bundle.

You can expect some slight price variations with this change

• Due to the calculation method used for Dynamic Bundle prices, we anticipate some variations compared to the current offering. These changes should be relatively small. 

The change will happen a few hours after the release of the Stellaris: Infernals Species Pack. 

We look forward to bringing you Infernals, the epic finale of Stellaris: Season 09. While there is still much Custodian work to do to address all your feedback, we still have ambitious plans for the future of Stellaris!

Set the Galaxy on fire!
