About This Game

Mars is calling—will you endure its unforgiving frontier?


The Red Planet is vast, desolate, and utterly indifferent to your survival. With nothing but your wits, limited resources, and the tools at your disposal, you must carve out an existence in one of the most hostile environments imaginable. 

👩‍🚀VR Survival Systems: Monitor essential survival stats like oxygen, nutrition, health, and power.

🚀Resource and Crafting Systems: Establish and maintain production loops, crafting the tools and upgrades necessary to keep your operation running smoothly.

🌠Exploration and Traversal: Discover a compelling landscape with tools like jetpacks, hover bikes, and rovers. Seek out anomalies that will begin to reveal a story that unfolds throughout early access.

⛏️Dynamic Contracts: Fulfill mining and export tasks, earning resources, tech upgrades, and blueprints.

🏗️Base Building: Plan, position, and manage structures to expand your Martian outpost strategically.

For the first time, the Surviving Mars universe has been brought to VR, delivering a survival experience where every decision matters.
