‘Earthlight: Spacewalk’ International Space Station Experience is Coming to PSVR

Announced back in October 2015, Earthlight, the first-person space simulator from Opaque Space that puts you aboard the International Space Station (ISS), was eventually supposed to come to HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and PSVR. Instead, the developers opted to only release the game in arcades, dubbing it Earthlight Arcade. Now, a consumer version, which came to HTC Vive four months ago, is coming to PSVR.

The consumer version, Earthlight: Spacewalk (2017) initially released on Viveport for HTC Vive in November 2017, but we still weren’t sure when the experience was headed to other headsets as previously thought.

Jennifer Scheurle, Game Design Lead at Opaque Space, tweeted out yesterday that the studio is indeed working on PSVR support, and that she’s “super pleased with how well this runs on PSVR already… was majorly worried about framerate, but it’s gorgeous.”

PSVR? Check.
NASA-used Earth model? Check.
Full ISS exterior? Check.

Do you wanna have a guess what we're cooking up…? ;)

The experience puts you in the boots of Ana, an astronaut tasked with performing her seventy-sixth space walk on the ISS. Based on a multi-year collaboration with NASA, the game takes you through several tasks performed on the ISS which clearly aim to capture authenticity over action.

Earthlight: Spacewalk is currently priced at $10 on Viveport. The studio hasn’t released word on when the game will arrive on PSVR. Critically, there’s also been no mention whether its coming natively to Rift or not.
