Space Junkies pits players in 1-vs.-1 or 2-vs.-2 combat inside the Dirty Bowl, a collection of space arenas that dynamically respond to players' actions and allow them to navigate and attack from any direction. The game features an arsenal of outlandish, customizable, joinable and – thanks to the Oculus Touch and Vive controllers – grab-able weapons that let players alter their assault tactics to take down their opponents.

Space Junkies is powered by Brigitte, a new proprietary virtual reality engine created at Ubisoft Montpellier.

Brigitte is designed to evolve and adapt to the way worlds can be created for VR, as well as including the new VR interfaces in the development process and map creations.

first free post-launch update for Space Junkies is now available on PlayStation VR, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Windows Mixed Reality headsets.

This new update, Season #1 Episode 1, introduces a variety of new content and features based on players’ feedback:

• A new game mode, “Final Cut”, in which players are given one weapon at a time. After each kill, they climb the weapon ladder and have to get a new kill to progress to the final weapon, the Double Solar Sword!
• A new map, “The Orbital Mine.” This abandoned mine is full rocks, pipes and tunnels that will have you going vertical and running for cover as the lava flows!
• A new character skin from the Quantic Calamari family, known as the “Squid”
• A new set of customizations

Space Junkies is continuing to introduce regular new content through updates in the coming months, including new game modes, characters, maps, and many more surprises. New content will drop through a season-based approach, each season containing four episodes for a period of 16 weeks. The next content update, Season #1 Episode 2, is set to release in May. PlayStation Move and smooth rotation support will also be introduced mid-May in a special update.

Additionally, starting on April 26 for a limited time, Space Junkies will be 60 percent off across all digital stores.
