The action of EVE Online takes place in a universe called New Eden, which consists of over 5,000 star systems.

Your mission is to explore remote places of the universe in order to complete various story missions given by NPCs. These independent characters represent a broad spectrum of factions in which you gradually build up your position. With progress, you successively develop your avatar by acquiring new skills. The game also features ship customization. You can also upgrade vessels with new modules that influence performance, weaponry, and armor.

Starlink: Battle for Atlas is a science fiction action game developed by Ubisoft. The game takes place in a distant future in the titular Atlas planetary system, a place full of breathtaking alien worlds. This part of the galaxy is on the brink of destruction due to the invasion of the machines known as the Forgotten Legion. Our job is to stop the machines and defeat their leader, Grax. Starlink: Battle for Atlas is an action game where we control our own, self-made space ship. We use it to fight not only in space, but also in the atmosphere of many planets. The game’s world is open and dynamic, and changes under the influence of ours and our antagonists' decisions. What makes Starlink: Battle for Atlas a unique game is the fact that it is integrated with spaceship minifigures that are sold separately. Those minifigures are modular, which allows us to manually change their parts and pilots. These changes are instantly taken to the virtual world.

A special edition of a space simulator that came out in 2013. X Rebirth VR Edition was created by Egosoft, specifically for VR headsets. In similarity to the core game, X Rebirth VR Edition is set many years after the events depicted in the previous installments of the series. The player takes on the role of a space adventurer that gets involved in a complicated political affair, having stumbled on the wrongdoings of one of the factions controlling the region. The player controls a spaceship and completes different assignments requiring them for example to fight enemies, clean away space debris or to transport goods; however, trading is also an option. This version of the game introduces several changes to the mechanics - those involve e.g. the functioning of the galaxy - and brings improvements to the economic system. Additionally, the developer implemented new missions, refreshed the interface, improved the balance of the experience and adjusted its pace to the specifics of VR headsets. The game utilizes a new graphics engine and is the best-looking installment in the series so far.

A top-down space shooter game designed specifically to deliver a co-op experience. The creators of the game, Climax Studios, were inspired mainly by titles popular long ago in arcades. The player takes on the role of an adventurer-pilot, who lives in the criminal center of the galaxy. The protagonist earns their living by selling valuable pieces of hardware salvaged from destroyed spaceships, oftentimes neutralized by themselves. Everything changes when an AI-controlled alien fleet declares a war on the civilized part of the galaxy. Smelling a great fortune to be made, the protagonist quickly sets out to save the world. The player's goal is to defeat the aliens, but definitely not for free. One flies here in a squad of up to four players. Moving across 2D maps, the player will face countless enemy ships belonging to the aliens, law enforcement, or rivaling pirate gangs. Everyone who stands between the player and valuable loot is the target in the game. Using the hardware collected, the player can create new weapons, shields, and engines, in order to make the ship's capabilities suit one's play-style.

An action game developed by RageQuit Corporation. It is an improved version of Strike Vector, a title that was released in 2014 on PC. During the game, the players are participating in dynamic air fights of futuristic vehicles that can switch between two modes of operation: a dynamic TPP fighter jet mode and a slower first-person perspective mode which gives greater precision of movement. Strike Vector EX offers a single player campaign, but the game is mostly focused on multiplayer mode in which more than a dozen of players can compete with each other. A characteristic trait of the game is the fact that despite the large size of the maps, they consist of narrow passages and complicated structures instead of large and open spaces. Getting through these structures at high speed requires good reflexes and nimble fingers.
