Open Drive, a groundbreaking mobile racing game, is now available in early access on Android. Developed by SpecialEffect, a charity organization dedicated to enabling physically disabled players to enjoy video games, in collaboration with Sun & Moon Studios, Open Drive is more than just a game—it's a testament to inclusive gaming.
What’s the Game About?
Open Drive is designed to be highly adaptable, allowing you to play using touch, keyboard and mouse, switch access, or a controller. This inclusivity ensures that players with different physical abilities can enjoy the game. One of the most exciting features is mobile-specific eye control, which allows players to steer using a compatible eye gaze camera by simply looking left or right. This feature is a significant advancement in accessibility, particularly for those who face challenges with traditional touch or gamepad inputs. It's available across all four open worlds in the game: Stunt, Speed, Snow, and Meadow.
The gameplay in Open Drive is incredibly versatile. Whether you prefer to leisurely drive around collecting orbs or aim for high scores by performing daring jumps with vehicles like the Roadster, Trickster, or Speedster, the game caters to various play styles. Additionally, you can adjust the speed to suit your preference. To get a glimpse of what Open Drive offers, check out the early access announcement trailers below.
Open Drive Is Now Out in Early Access
Open Drive intelligently auto-detects and adjusts to the control method you're using, ensuring a seamless experience. Switch Access on Android is fully supported, and each input method has its own setup. For touch controls, you can choose between 'Precise' and 'Classic' modes, which allow you to steer either by tapping or directionally with a few taps. Similar customizations are available for Switch Access, mouse, keyboard, and Android-compatible gamepad/controllers.
Currently available in early access on Android, Open Drive's eye control feature is not yet fully implemented but is expected to be included in the full version launching later this summer. You can try the game for free once the full version is released. In the meantime, you can explore Open Drive on the Google Play Store to see if it piques your interest.
