Astroneer developer System Era Softworks released a new update for the upcoming festive season. The new event, Project CHEER, has returned once again to Sylva, Desolo, Calidor, and Glacio. The event's objective is to recover lost objects and send them back through the request platforms. There are some sweet cosmetic rewards too. Get Tinsel Town hat and Baublehead visor as rewards after reaching a specific score.
The latest update also adds new platforms on which players can expand upon. The two platforms available are large extended and XL extended profiles. If you like collecting cosmetics, you are in luck with the new seasonal themed items. New gingerbread themed outfit is available along with some winter-themed outfits.
