How to Change SteamWorld Build Game Theme

While the default desert theme is fun and fits the typical SteamWorld environment, it’s always fun to try out other options.Players can select their preferred theme right away while creating a new game, or they can change it by pausing the game, opening the Options menu, and choosing the Theme in the Graphics tab.

Even if players start with a certain theme, they can always change it later on. This works just like a cosmetic skin; it’s simply an aesthetic change and won’t actually modify how the city works or any other gameplay features.

Available Themes

At the moment, there aren’t many theme options inSteamWorld Build. The game received theJingle Bolts themewhen the option was released as an additional for the holiday season, and that’s it for now.

Future game updates will most likely bring new themes toSteamWorld Build. It would be unlikely that this would be a one-time thing, and the developers will probably add more options for other events, such as Halloween, for example.
