An online space RPG for Windows and Linux

Command a frigate from its holotable. Fight pirates and mine ore in the Kessik Belt, then jump out to the Sable Drift, where nobody keeps the peace. Every pilot online shares the same sectors.

Fly from the holotable

Set a course, pick targets and give orders from a holographic table, or take the stick and fly it yourself.

One shared frontier

Pirates, ore and contracts in the Kessik Belt around Haven Station. Past the gate, the Sable Drift answers to nobody.

Always up to date

The launcher keeps the game current, downloading only what changed, and signs you in. Press Play and you're in the sector.

The Kessik Belt is only the edge. Something past the Veil is still growing.

Download

Void Sector is in early development. The launcher installs the game and keeps it updated.

Windows

64-bit Windows 10 or 11 · 82 MB download

Download for Windows
  1. Open the downloaded zip and choose Extract all. The launcher won't start from inside the zip.
  2. In the extracted VoidSector folder, run VoidSectorLauncher.
  3. Windows may say "Windows protected your PC". The launcher isn't signed with a publisher certificate yet, so Windows doesn't recognise it. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
  4. Tick New pilot, choose a name and password, and press Make pilot. When the game has downloaded, press Play.

Linux

Paste this into a terminal. It installs the launcher for your account, without a password, and adds Void Sector to your app menu:

curl -fsSL https://playvoidsector.com/install.sh | bash
  1. Choose what to add (the app menu, a desktop shortcut, the void-sector command) and press Install.
  2. Tick New pilot, choose a name and password, and press Make pilot. When the game has downloaded, press Play.

Run the same command again to repair the install. To remove Void Sector, open the launcher's settings and choose Uninstall. You can read the script first.

Or download the launcher, extract it with tar xzf VoidSectorLauncher-linux.tar.gz and run VoidSector/VoidSectorLauncher.x86_64. It opens on the same install screen.

The launcher and game use up to about 1.2 GB of disk space: the launcher keeps the current build, the one before it for rollback, and the next build when it downloads ahead of release. Desktop only. Minimum graphics requirements are still being set.
