How it feels

You pilot a ship in a detailed sandbox space universe, exploring and trading at your own pace through a VR headset.

What players say

Players are split: some love the immersive cockpit and sense of scale, but most cannot play at all. The game only works out of the box on the original HTC Vive and has not been updated since 2017, leaving modern headsets like Quest, Index, and PSVR2 with broken or unplayable controls. Even those who get it running struggle with awkward gamepad and keyboard bindings.
