Ubisoft has announced the closed beta dates for its upcoming zero-G multiplayer VR shooter, Space Junkies, which will be available from June 28th to July 2nd with signups open to all.
First revealed at E3 2017, Space Junkies is Ubisoft’s latest multiplayer VR title following Eagle Flight (2016), Werewolves Within (2016), and Star Trek: Bridge Crew (2017). It’s the company’s first, first person VR shooter, and has so far impressed us with its fast paced zero-G action.
