Little Rocket Lab will launch on October 7, publisher No More Robots has announced. The cozy game will be available on PC and several consoles, as well as Xbox Game Pass, with at least one more port being planned further down the line.
The debut title from Canadian studio Teenage Astronauts, Little Rocket Lab is a cozy factory-building title with RPG elements and a wholesome narrative. It was first announced in December 2024, promising to add a gentler twist to the factory simulation genre with laid-back vibes and accessible gameplay. Little Rocket Lab casts players as Morgan, a young engineer seeking to realize her family's dream project by building a rocket ship. To that end, she must construct a large factory, gather resources, and design a range of contraptions—some to advance her mission and others to support a nearby town.

The latest update to the Xbox Game Pass subscription service adds a popular open world game for fans to check out.
Little Rocket Lab Confirms Release Date and Price Tag
Over nine months following its original announcement, the cozy factory automation RPG has now secured a release date, with publisher No More Robots committing to launching the game on October 7, priced at $19.99. As previously confirmed, Little Rocket Lab will be a day-one Xbox Game Pass release. XGP subscribers will be able to play it via Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Xbox Cloud Gaming support has yet to be officially confirmed but appears likely, not least because the only new titles that skip it these days are reflex-based multiplayer games.
In addition to expanding Morgan's factory and creating contraptions, Little Rocket Lab offers players a variety of quests and opportunities to build relationships. While constructing a rocket ship is the ultimate objective, the game also emphasizes fostering industrial growth and forming friendships along the way. Overall, Little Rocket Lab looks poised to bolster the selection of cozy games on Xbox Game Pass.
Teenage Astronauts' charming factory sim isn't the only new indie title that will be coming to Microsoft's subscription service on October 7. SOPA - Tale of the Stolen Potato is also scheduled to reach Xbox Game Pass on that date. Overall, October 2025 is shaping up to be a busy month for the service, with eight day-one releases already confirmed. The highest-profile titles from this batch are Ninja Gaiden 4 and The Outer Worlds 2, which are slated to arrive on October 21 and 29, respectively.
