A new virtual reality space game wants players to do more than pick a destination from a menu. Sol Protocol has entered Steam Early Access with a spaceship players can operate by hand and a universe built for solo or cooperative exploration.
Developer Singular Perception describes it as a VR-only game with online co-op as well as single-player support. Players can take the controls, operate systems aboard their ship and investigate locations across its procedurally generated star systems. Read the official announcement.
The Steam release is an Early Access version, so it is a work in progress. Anyone considering it should check the supported headsets and current store requirements before buying, rather than assuming it works on every VR device.
