Satisfactory's First DLC Expansion Revealed: Core Values

Posted by Dals | 30 September 2026

Satisfactory has just released a teaser for their first major game expansion and paid DLC, titled the Core Values Expansion. Here's everything we know so far!


Satisfactory's First DLC

The Core Values expansion marks the very first paid DLC for Satisfactory, bringing with it a suite of all-new content unlike any previous update to the game. While the world of Satisfactory we've all explored has taken place largely above ground, Core Values brings players to another layer of the planet altogether.

Venture underground to create an interconnected, completely underground factory network with all-new buildings and tools! While you'll still physically be doing your automation on the 2(A-B)b planet, your adventure through the planet's crust will feel like an entirely new and foreign land.

Core Values is introducing completely new production lines and buildings, tools, resources, flora, creatures, and more for you to discover!

The team at Coffee Stain Studios is taking their time to make sure the coming DLC can live up to their high standards for the game. As a result, there's no news just yet on the specific date that players will be able to explore the new areas hands-on.

However, we'll be sure to keep everyone updated on when this changes and as more information is revealed on this major expansion to Satisfactory!


How much will Core Values cost?

While no pricing information has been revealed yet for the game's first paid DLC, Coffee Stain Studios has historically been extremely transparent about pricing information.

Satisfactory has been able to reach this point thanks to their commitment to players and reliability, so it's safe to say that the team is working hard to deliver something genuinely worth whatever price they end up settling on.
