Evaluation

X Rebirth VR Edition launched out of Early Access on December 7, 2017, marking its full 1.0 release. All developer activity visible in the news history is concentrated in the lead-up to and at that launch: a series of feature patches and bug fixes were shipped during the Early Access period (August through December 2017), culminating in the full launch update on December 7, 2017. No post-launch major content updates were released after that date — the game shipped as a standalone, complete VR experience based on X Rebirth: Home of Light. There are no unreleased DLC entries, no announced roadmap for future content, and no developer statements about planned additions. The store description does not reference any live service features or upcoming content. The last developer communication was the launch post on December 7, 2017. This game was released as a finished product and has received no further content development since.

VR Headset Compatibility Information
Our game supports the original Oculus Rift and HTC Vive headsets via OpenVR. Thanks to OpenVR, it is also likely compatible with several other newer headsets, though these have not been tested. Please note that compatibility with Oculus Quest 2 may be limited due to the removal of the capacitive thumb button on its controllers.
