Summary

  • September is the new Early Access target for Sol Protocol on Meta Quest, after developer Singular Perception had originally aimed to launch the co-op roguelike in April.
  • A new trailer shown at the UploadVR Summer Showcase highlighted its core loop: up to three players share spaceship duties, fight off enemy ships from gun turrets, and explore abandoned stations for loot and upgrades.
  • Three roles—Captain, Pilot and Gunner—let players switch responsibilities as they manage procedurally generated stellar systems.
  • March open alpha playtests have been running on Quest 3 and 3S, while the planned Steam version still has no release update.
