Open Drive, the innovative racing game designed for mobile devices, is now available in early access on Android. Developed by the charity organization SpecialEffect in collaboration with Sun & Moon Studios, this game redefines accessibility in gaming, making it a standout choice for players of all abilities.
What’s the Game About?
Open Drive is crafted to be highly adaptable, allowing players to engage with the game using their preferred input method—be it touch, keyboard and mouse, switch access, or a controller. This inclusivity is built into the core of the game, ensuring a seamless experience for everyone.
One of the most groundbreaking features is the mobile-specific eye control, which uses a compatible eye gaze camera to let players steer the vehicle simply by looking left or right. This feature is a game-changer for players with physical disabilities who often find traditional input methods challenging. It's fully integrated across all four of Open Drive's open worlds: Stunt, Speed, Snow, and Meadow.
The gameplay in Open Drive is incredibly flexible. Whether you're in the mood to leisurely drive around collecting orbs or chase high scores with daring jumps using vehicles like the Roadster, Trickster, or Speedster, the choice is yours. You can also adjust the speed to match your comfort level. Dive into the excitement by watching the early access announcement trailers below:
Open Drive Is Now Out in Early Access
Open Drive intelligently auto-detects and adjusts to your chosen control method. For Android users, Switch Access is fully supported, ensuring a smooth gaming experience. Each input method comes with its own tailored setup, including 'Precise' and 'Classic' modes for touch controls that allow steering through tapping or directional control.
Currently available in early access on Android, the full eye control functionality is slated to be included in the complete version, which is set to launch later this summer. You can download and explore Open Drive for free from the Google Play Store to see if it captures your interest.
