Narrative mixed-reality sci-fi adventure from Maze Theory set in Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary universe, pairing Ryland Grace and Rocky to save their spacecraft on Meta Quest and PICO 4.
Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars is a narrative-driven mixed-reality sci-fi adventure and puzzle game developed and published by Maze Theory in collaboration with Amazon MGM Studios and author Andy Weir. Launching in mixed reality on November 12, 2026 for the Meta Horizon Store and PICO Store—with Android XR support and a free fully virtual VR update to follow—it places players aboard the Hail Mary during an original, untold chapter of the interstellar mission.
Cooperative problem-solving aboard the Hail Mary
Set while the Hail Mary travels from Tau Ceti toward 40 Eridani A—Rocky's home system and humanity's lifeline—critical ship systems begin to fail. Stepping into the role of astronaut Ryland Grace, you must work side by side with alien crewmate Rocky to keep the vessel operational and protect its world-saving cargo:
- Hands-on engineering and diagnostics: Inspect damaged ship panels, reroute power, repair sparking circuits and improvise scientific solutions under pressure using either hand tracking or tracked motion controllers.
- Partnering with Rocky: Communicate, coordinate repairs and build trust with Rocky across an original story written specifically for spatial media rather than a scene-for-scene retelling of the novel or film.
- Tactile ship management: Monitor life support and mission cargo while navigating emergencies tailored to physical room-scale movement.
Mixed-reality launch and free VR update
The November 12 release is built around passthrough mixed reality, projecting viewports, diagnostic consoles and structural breaches of the Hail Mary directly into your physical room. Meta lists the experience at a Comfortable comfort level for single-player, room-scale play with no internet connection required after download. For players who prefer full immersion, Maze Theory has confirmed a free post-launch update adding a dedicated fully virtual VR mode.
