In 2025 you’ll be able to become part of a space mission in Artemis VR, a virtual reality space simulator developed with insights from NASA which promises to provide an experience that is as close to the real thing as possible. In Artemis VR players will take on the role of an Artemis crew member as they experience the excitement and challenges of a real space mission. You can check out a trailer above and read below for more info:

Become part of a space mission – Artemis VR with liftoff scheduled for 2025

Step into the suit of an Artemis space program crew member and tackle precisely recreated spaceflight procedures – experience the thrill of a rocket launch, manage the ship’s control center, go on your first spacewalk, but remember, not everything always goes according to plan…

Countdown initiated! Vritics – an experienced team of developers specializing in virtual reality projects, announced today the upcoming debut of Artemis VR, their closest to reality VR spaceflight simulator. Players will be at the forefront of a cosmic voyage, stepping into the role of the Artemis programme crew member, exploring a true-to-life space mission from various angles.

Currently in development, the project is advancing thanks to NASA resources and consultations with professionals in terms of Artemis Missions. The title will launch on Steam in 2025 – the official game page is now available here.

Here’s what VR and space enthusiasts can look forward to in Artemis VR:

Truly majestic, challenging spaceflight – Explore the range of tasks of a mission crew member, experience a rocket launch, precisely maneuver your spacecraft, dock with the space station and embark on your first weightless spacewalk.

Realistic mission dynamics – Each flight features unique challenges inspired by real NASA emergency procedures. Cabin fire, decompression, sick crew members – any of these could determine the mission’s ultimate success or failure.

Accurately recreated locations – Walk through meticulously replicated areas, step into the Artemis capsule, visit the International Space Station (ISS), and take a look at “home”, as you float freely in space.

Pure VR immersion – Take on the role of a crew member, navigate in zero gravity, push any button (at your own risk!), or simply enjoy the cosmic views from the capsule window

A true representation – Every detail of the spacecraft has been crafted to faithfully replicate the conditions faced by real astronauts. With NASA resources and consultations within the Artemis mission framework, Artemis VR achieves an incredible level of realism, immersing players in the true challenges of space exploration.

Artemis VR will launch on Steam in 2025, just before the planned Artemis mission, to once again take humans to the moon. For those dreaming of reaching the stars, the game is now available to add to your wishlist via the dedicated game page.

The title will support OpenXR and be compatible with Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3, and Valve Index. System requirements are now available here.
