After approximately five years away, Somnium Space is returning to Steam soon.
Somnium Space was de-listed on Steam in 2021 during Valve’s purge of games which featured crypto-based economies and NFT commerce. Valve’s policies forbidding NFTs and crypto games have not changed, so Somnium Space’s Steam re-release must therefore be blockchain free.
The non-Steam PC VR release still touts blockchain and NFT integration as a defining feature, with land parcels and purchases through traditional fiat rails like Stripe, or linked crypto wallets.
Somnium Space is a free-to-play social VR platform for adults 18 and older. The app’s persistent virtual universe allows players to meet, explore, and create their own new experiences to share with one another.
We went hands-on with the social VR platform in March of this year.
