Sol Protocol is a 1–3 player co-op virtual reality sci-fi action roguelike and multi-crew simulation shooter developed and self-published by independent Italian VR studio Singular Perception. After entering Early Access on the Meta Horizon Store for Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S on September 19, 2026, the game expanded to PC VR Early Access via SteamVR on November 11, 2026 with full crossplay across standalone Quest and PC VR headsets.
Multi-crew bridge teamwork and roguelike runs
Drawing inspiration from multi-crew space adventures such as FTL: Faster Than Light, Star Trek: Bridge Crew, and Void Crew, Sol Protocol puts players physically aboard a modular Pathfinder spacecraft as they chart dangerous, procedurally generated star sectors. Every run hinges on live communication, manual console interaction, and splitting shipboard duties under enemy fire:
- Three interactive bridge roles: Crewmates rotate seamlessly between piloting the vessel through asteroid fields, manning weapon turrets during dogfights, and managing power distribution, shields, and hull repairs as captain or engineer.
- Solo or 3-player crossplay co-op: Team up online with up to three players across Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest 3S, and SteamVR, or fly solo—with AI Automa bot crewmates also in active development on the studio's Early Access roadmap.
Away missions, zero-G spacewalks and crafting
Survival in Sol Protocol extends well beyond the cockpit. Between warp jumps and combat encounters, crews must leave their stations to scavenge resources and keep their vessel operational:
- On-foot boarding and station exploration: Dock with derelict outposts and alien-overrun corridors to salvage loot, hack terminals, and fight threats on foot.
- Zero-gravity EVA hull walks: Step through the airlock into open space to perform external maintenance and gather rare materials before jumping through the next warp gate.
- Ship upgrades and Crafting Update: Salvaged components feed into ship customization, module upgrades, and onboard crafting systems, alongside an in-game community voting board where players help prioritize upcoming Early Access features over a planned 6-to-12-month roadmap.
