The demo checks rendering quality and performance across five scenarios and includes the main game's planet editor, where players build terrain and then explore the planet they made. The space development simulation carries over realistic orbital dynamics and aerodynamics from the 2022 early access title, with more than 120 part types for building rockets and stations. A release date is undecided, and the game does not currently support Japanese display.","whyItMatters":"Team Curiosity is putting the rendering technology and the planet editor in front of players before a release date exists, which lets the studio test performance on real hardware while the simulation's construction and orbital systems stay in development.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe demo is close to a benchmark: players can look around five scenarios freely and see how their own PC handles the game.
