‘BuildPort Xumia’: Design and Fly Your Own Spaceships in Quest Early Access

So, Yumebau—or some indie XR studio—just dropped this game called BuildPort Xumia in early access on Quest. It’s got that whole space combat vibe, fast-paced and all, plus you get to build your own spaceships from scratch. Kinda like, if you mashed Kerbal Space Program with some multiplayer arena shooter, maybe?

Anyway, you can grab it on Quest 3 and 3S right now. It’s got this weird mix of you being able to create about anything your imagination spits out—drones, mechs, or maybe you’re feeling like whipping up an X-Wing. Balancing ship energy is part of the deal, so you’ve gotta manage power like you would a toddler with a sugar rush. It works in both virtual and mixed reality, which sounds… handy?

The game’s built on these modular blocks—think LEGO but way cooler and in space. Weapons, sensors, and other bits-and-bobs help make things interesting. And if you’re clever with sensors, your creations can do their own thing, though, honestly, piloting stuff yourself is where it’s at.

So right now, for its early access launch, there’s this 1v1 duel arena. Fight your pals or practice on AI if you’re feeling lonely. Plus, building ships together in real time? Yup, you can do that. Is that not the dream or what?

Oh, and it’s got these ‘Xumi Trials’. So if you’ve got something to prove—or just wanna see your creation fail spectacularly—feel free. They’ll add more stuff after launch—think game modes, parts, avatars, the whole shebang.

Check BuildPort Xumia on the Horizon Store for Quest 3 and Quest 3S; it’s starting at $6, a bit of a deal from the usual $10. Feels like a steal. Or maybe not? Depends, I suppose, if you can even nail spaceship construction without everything crashing and burning. Gotta love trial and error!
