## 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.
