The demo checks rendering quality and performance across five scenarios and includes the main game's planet editor, where players build terrain and then explore the planet they made. The space development simulation carries over realistic orbital dynamics and aerodynamics from the 2022 early access title, with more than 120 part types for building rockets and stations. A release date is undecided, and the game does not currently support Japanese display.
The demo is close to a benchmark: players can look around five scenarios freely and see how their own PC handles the game. It also carries the planet editor, so terrain can be shaped and then explored on the spot.
Construction in the main game draws on more than 120 part types, among them engines, boosters, fuel tanks, crew capsules, heat shields, station modules, and landing legs. Repeated design and piloting brings players into contact with staging and specific impulse.
