Sol Mates has a launch date. Daruma Games will release the chaotic co-op roguelike on Steam on January 26, 2027, with a demo available now and wishlists open.

In Sol Mates, one to four players crew a single spaceship and take on jobs for an interstellar odd jobs agency. The work is rarely straightforward: pirate ambushes, black holes and other hazards get in the way, and the crew has to steer, shield and blast its way through each mission together.

The game is built around couch co-op, online or in person, or a mix of both. “We grew up in the 90s and couch co-op is the genre of our childhoods,” said Daruma Games co-founder Loren Weng. “We set out to make a hilarious game for you and your friends to navigate the perils of space and relive those epic sci-fi movie moments together, whether that’s in-person or online.”

Each run blends strategy and story. Missions mix strategic decisions with narrative choices, and the crew votes on what to do next. Between runs, players level up their loadout with new weapons, ammo types and spacesuits, and unlock new ships, alien species and hats.

A Juice difficulty system lets the crew tune the chaos to taste, and the game supports Steam Deck. It will launch with English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Brazilian Portuguese language support.

Players can watch the launch date reveal trailer below, try the demo on Steam now, and wishlist Sol Mates ahead of its January 26, 2027 launch.

Humanity’s last hope is now a mission you can step inside. Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars is out now, a mixed-reality adventure that tells a previously untold chapter of Andy Weir’s bestselling sci-fi universe.

The immersive mixed reality experience launched on PICO, Android XR and Meta Quest 3/3S. It comes from Maze Theory, the award-winning London-based immersive entertainment studio behind Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom and Doctor Who: The Edge of Time.

Players step into the role of Ryland Grace. Ryland Grace and his friend and crewmate Rocky must work together in the face of disaster to keep the Hail Mary intact and bring their world-saving cargo to Eridani — Rocky’s home planet, and Grace’s new home.

It is a story of trust and communication between species. As this mixed-reality experience blends your physical environment with the Hail Mary itself, players diagnose problems, improvise solutions and push the limits of science and engineering to keep the mission alive.

Along the way, players work alongside Rocky to keep the mission alive, diagnose failing systems and improvise scientific solutions, and manage their ship and its precious cargo as they travel through the stars — experiencing humanity’s last hope firsthand.
