Going all the way back to 2016 for the original release and our Stellaris review, I said: The most recent expansion, Nemesis, is not discounted – to be fair, it only came out last month! More than any expansion before it, it puts the fate of the galaxy in your hands, letting you act to choose unity or actually become the endgame crisis that defines each playthrough of the game.

During this time, there the game and all of its expansions have been reduced by up to 75% – most are 50% off, to be fair. On the PC side of things, you have the free weekend with the game, which started last night at 6PM UK time, and will continue on until 6PM UK time on 24th Monday. Then there are the new constructions, like the Juggernaut, a large mobile starbase that can support and rebuild your fleets, and the Mega Shipyard, a megastructure that will spit out fleets like crazy. You also have new types of federations to create or join, with a Trade League, Martial Alliance or Hegemony. This expands your diplomatic capabilities, letting you foster internal cohesion between a federations members. Federations launched for PC in March 2020, adding a “galactic UN” to the game.
