VR co-op game Sol Protocol coming to Steam November 11 with crossplay

Key Takeaway

Sol Protocol, a three-player co-op space exploration VR game, launches on PC VR November 11 with Quest crossplay and a Steam Next Fest demo available now.

Summary

Sol Protocol, previously in Early Access on Quest, will launch on Steam for PC VR on November 11 with full crossplay support. A demo with tutorial and three explorable sectors is available during Steam Next Fest. The full release includes all Quest updates to date, plus a player-voted roadmap system where the first community-selected feature—a crafting system for ship upgrades—is expected to launch alongside or shortly after the Steam version.

Gameplay and platform details

  • Three distinct player roles: pilot, gunner, and engineer, each with dedicated ship station
  • Procedurally generated sectors selected via interactive 3D map showing hostility and reward levels
  • Crossplay between PC VR and Quest versions at launch
  • Automa bot system in development for solo and two-player support, currently incomplete
  • Player-voted roadmap system for prioritizing future updates

Why it matters

The Steam launch expands the player pool for a VR title that currently requires three human players, though the in-development bot system may eventually lower that barrier. Crossplay support helps sustain multiplayer viability across PC and standalone VR platforms.
