Update 9 (Speculation)
Currently, there is no official release date or window announced for the upcoming Update 9 in Satisfactory. While this may be frustrating for some players, considering that Update 8 was recently released and is still featured in the Experimental branch (as of writing this article), it’s understandable that details about Update 9 are scarce. The developers are currently focused on ensuring a smooth transition of Update 8 to the early access branch, minimizing bugs and errors. However, after taking the previous update releases into account, we have found a pattern followed by the developers. Well, Update 7 (experimental) was released in November 2022, whereas Update 6 (experimental) was released in June 2022. So, a gap of 5 months is kept between each update’s release. And since Update 8 (experimental) was released in June 2023, it is expected that Update 9 (experimental) of Satisfactory will be released in November 2023. But since there is no official information on the same and this is purely based on speculation, take this information with a pinch of salt.
As for the contents of the new update, we don’t have concrete details at this point.
