Abys Orbit is out: a free space MMO, now on Steam

Abys Orbit is out today Abys Orbit is a free real-time space MMO you play in your browser. Pick one of three factions, upgrade your ship and its gear, join a clan, and fight other players for control of the map. As of today, that same game is on Steam as well.

Steam is a door, not a second game Same account, same servers, same players. The ship you fit out in your browser is waiting for you on Steam, and anything you earn on Steam is right there when you open a tab instead. So you can try it without downloading anything: open a tab, pick a faction, undock. If it clicks, install the client and carry on from where you stopped.

What's inside

  • PvP maps – open conflict between the three factions
  • Hangar – ships, lasers, shields, generators, saved configs
  • Clans – shared goals and clan rankings
  • ApexGate – a wave-based gate event
  • Skylab – your own base: resource production and modules
  • R&D – a skill tree for permanent upgrades
  • Auctions – trading and an economy run by players
  • Missions – mission lines you can run solo or in a group
  • OrbitBall – 4v4, for when you want a break from being shot at

15 languages, 3 servers (two in Türkiye, one in Amsterdam). Free to play — real money only buys Orbidium packs.
