A space game for Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S
IKAREE is a VR space game where you are the captain of a starship. You sit in the captain's chair, speak your orders out loud, and an AI-driven bridge crew answers, argues and flies you to real stars and exoplanets. It runs standalone on Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S.
What you do in this Quest game
- Command by voice. No keyword lists and no menus. Talk to six AI officers the way a captain talks. See how voice command works.
- Fly the real Milky Way. About 11,000 real stars at their real positions, and 31 detailed destinations from Mars to TRAPPIST-1e.
- Play story missions. The free demo mission, Signature, is an hour-long story with eight endings. About 100 missions are planned.
- Meet the unknown. On warp jumps the game invents first-contact encounters with species nobody has met.
- Walk your ship. With room to spare, the floor around your chair becomes the bridge, with the turbolift right behind you. Or play seated.

What you need
- An internet connection: speech recognition runs on the game's servers.
- A microphone. The headset's built-in one works.
- No PC and no cable. The game runs in the headset itself.
- A chair. That is all for seated play. Walking uses more floor if you have it: 2.6 × 2.6 m or 3.7 × 2.9 m.
Comfortable VR, seated or standing
IKAREE never teleports you and never slides you around. The ship moves outside the windows while your chair stays still. More on seated VR and comfort.
How it compares
Most space games in VR are about flying a fighter or crewing a bridge with friends. IKAREE is about command: you decide, your crew does the flying. Our guide to starship captain games in VR compares the genre.
Questions about IKAREE on Quest
Is IKAREE a standalone Meta Quest game?
Yes. It runs natively on Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S, no PC needed.
Does IKAREE work on Quest 2 or Quest Pro?
We build and test IKAREE for Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S. Quest 2 and Quest Pro are not on the list of supported headsets.
Is it multiplayer?
No. IKAREE is a single-player game. Your bridge crew is played by AI, so you never need other players to fill the stations.
Do I need to speak English?
The crew speaks English. Voice commands work in English, and Czech commands are recognised too. Subtitles are in English, with Czech as an option.
Will I get motion sick?
You play seated or walk on your own feet, with no teleporting, no artificial locomotion and no snap turns. The ship moves outside the windows, and your chair stays still.
When can I play it?
The free demo for Meta Quest comes out on 16 November 2026 on the Meta Horizon Store. You need the headset and an internet connection. The full game follows.
