We’re so close to release we can almost taste the sweet syrup of removing that Early Access tag and welcoming everyone to Galactic Civilizations III with no caveats.

Well, no caveats other than “we’re going to keep working on this game, releasing free patches and more content for years.” Which is a promise to our players, not a warning.

Beta 6 is more or less a release candidate. We implore you to take the “it’s just a beta” excuse off the table and give us your feedback as if Galactic Civilizations III is a released game. See Stardock CEO’s Beta 6 preview for more on how we’re approaching the release process, how Early Access has made Galactic Civilizations III a better game, and more: http://steamcommunity.com/app/226860/discussions/1/618460171327189089/

Among the many improvements in Beta 6, we’ve added high dynamic range lighting, new resource-fueled planetary structures, and another round of massive AI and performance improvements. Please, tell us what you think.
