Steam or Windows
I tried this game from an old offline copy and I was really amazed by the concept.
I got a medium specs of unit (1080p at GForce 940m) and I got no right to complain about the dropping of FPS thing.

Though, I got the chance to run the game trial on Windows and runs fine.
I just can't purchase it though since Windows Store is over reacting to simple things so I am planning on buying it on Steam.

Though, I found this reviews that the game runs better in Windows/XBox compare to Steam.
I just want to hear it from your guys who already tried it.

Thank you.

I don't own an Xbox. My PC's specs are about 6 years old and I wouldn't call them high end either. That said, I have had no problems with performance and after 130+ hours I can confirm that this game is a great deal of fun to play even at this early stage of development. I have already got my money's worth in terms of entertainment and I'm looking forward to enjoying the ride to it's completion.
By all means get it on Steam and try it for less than 2 hours and if you aren't impressed then request a refund. Alternatively, just watch this space and wait for it to reach a full release version.

You're right.
It really worth the wait for the game to be fully released.

Well, since it's on its development stage. Heavy load on performance is expected as tweaks will be on its official release.

I'm just looking for guys to help me push the purchase button. :D

Thank you for your response. Appreciated!

If you want cross platform play between Windows and Xbox players then you want the windows store version.
If you don't care and can wait for actual cross platform play (they've said they're trying to get steam to play nice with the others), then get the Steam version. I don't know what the problem is with cross platform stuff when you run your own servers but whatever.

Anyway, buy it!!

Thanks for the idea..
I already bought the game and base from my offline experience on the game, I am more interested on the exploring what's beneath that planet and to explore other planet from my current planet..

Though, I am also looking forward on meeting others soon..

Let's conquer the space!
