Ships At Sea v0.8.2 - early access

Ships At Sea is the next evolution in ship simulation from Misc Games, the studio behind Fishing: North Atlantic and Fishing: Barents Sea. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, it transports you to a meticulously recreated 46 × 46 km slice of the Norwegian Sea around Lofoten, where every wave, weather system and port has been built to feel authentic. Whether you choose to sail solo or team up with up to three friends in co-op or competitive multiplayer, you’ll find a depth of gameplay rarely seen in maritime titles.

At its core, Ships At Sea offers three distinct career paths. As a cargo transporter you’ll master a reworked loading system that challenges you to balance weight, space and stability. Service operators take on vital maintenance missions, repairing buoys, subsea cables and other infrastructure. And fishermen can use basic gear to start-then progress to jigging, longlining and netting for species like halibut, salmon and catfish. Whichever path you choose, the game’s authentic wheelhouse experience-with sonar modes, radar, radio and autopilot-puts you firmly in command of your vessel.

Beneath the surface Ships At Sea shines technically. A partnership with NVIDIA brings WaveWorks water shaders and a physically based buoyancy system that deliver cinematic oceans and realistic ship movements. Dynamic weather-from sudden storms and dense fog to lightning and shifting winds-keeps every voyage unpredictable. Shore leave in Lofoten lets you visit shops, upgrade or repair your fleet at the shipyard, and customize both your crew’s gear and your vessels. Support for NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation, AMD FSR 3 & 4, Intel XeSS and color-blind modes ensures smooth performance and accessibility.

In Ships At Sea, exploration, challenge and cooperation come together in a living maritime world. With licensed ships and equipment, true-to-life maps and a flexible company system-where you can pool resources with friends or compete against them-it’s the ultimate ocean-going sandbox for anyone eager to prove themselves as a master of the seas.
