What's New in Driftbound

1.9.8

October 1, 2026

Driftbound 1.9.8: two fixes, both reported on r/Driftbound. The war rank that would not land. A Major Order is judged at the weekly tick, Thursday at 00:00 UTC, and half of the judgement is whether you finished one of the week's Orders. That half was reading the Orders from a list that is only rebuilt once the game is open, so unless Driftbound happened to be running in the background at the tick, every week counted zero Orders finished and no rank landed. Your Merit was always banked. The judge now reads what your save says you completed, so it works whether the app was open at the tick or not. If you finished an Order in a week that was never credited, that Major Order pays out the first time you open this build, and the rank with it. The weekly Debrief now also says which half fell short when one does. Refining while away. Refining, fabrication and crafting left running when the app was closed stopped after filling the boxes that were free at the moment you left, called the hold full and cleared the job. They now go on in steps, each as big as the hold can take, and stop where the live tick does: out of inputs, at the auto-stop target, or with a hold that is full even once the ore is gone.

Definitely a blast

Thanks for this game, I’ve played a lot of games and this one seems to peak my interest right now .

Quite Fun!

I always look for idle crafting/trading games, and this hits the spot! You can choose to either go on an adventure, collect bounties, or just trade things! You can play your way!

Fantastic new entry

A fun and relaxing retro space idle game where you can battle pirates, mine ores, and explore the galaxy at your own pace. The simple graphics and music give it a charming nostalgic feel, while missions and ship upgrades keep things interesting. A great start for a new entry into the store with plenty of potential.
