Open world

You pilot a lost spacecraft through hundreds of solar systems, fighting enemies and choosing life as a pirate or mercenary to afford better cruisers. A space adventure built on freedom and exploration.

Lost Planet 3

Realistic visuals

A third-person shooter on the frozen world of E.D.N. III, where rig pilot Jim Peyton braves blizzards in his utility mech and battles giant Akrid creatures. Its blue-collar frontier story, told through messages home to his family, gives this prequel a surprisingly personal touch.

Starscape

Strong character progression

An arcade-style space shooter where you play the last pilot of a research station, mining asteroids, salvaging alien tech and customizing your fighters. A modest story and resource management add depth to the dogfighting.

Star Wars Outlaws

Open world

As scoundrel Kay Vess and her critter companion Nix, you roam an open Star Wars galaxy, playing crime syndicates against each other while mixing stealth, blaster fights, speeder rides and space dogfights. Its appeal is the authentic smuggler-adventure fantasy across several richly detailed planets.
