Space Junkies is an arcade shooter. The game requires VR goggles – HTC Vive or Oculus Rift. The title was developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, also known for e.g. Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands.
During the game, you take part in the murderous competition Dirty Bowl happening in space. You assume the role of an elite warrior in a special suit, and fight 2v2 or 1v1 battles. Gameplay consists in shooting enemies with futuristic weapons (e.g. Sunblaster and Biogun). In contrast to other shooters, in Space Junkies, you can move in any direction, as combat takes place in zero gravity. The space arena – called the Orena – enables the players to dodge bullets, glide, dive, flank, and shoot while moving backwards. All that in 360 degrees.
In Space Junkies, you fight on special arenas with additional environment elements, such as meteorites which can be used for your advantage or can be simply destroyed. The game utilises physics that feature microgravity along with unique sounds that let you feel as an astronaut leaving their spaceship.

If you're in the market for a competitive online VR shooter then Space Junkies may be worth getting if you don't mind its simplicity.
Screen Rant: 3 / 5 by Leo Faierman
Ubisoft's Space Junkies sets the groundwork for a great competition-ready zero-G VR shooter, but a lack of content and character dulls its shine.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 6 / 10 by Paulmichael Contreras
Space Junkies is a fun arena-style shooter, with an unfortunate control scheme. The addition of cross-platform play helps to get a game going, at the expense of any sort of balance. PC players have the advantage of a much better control scheme. Move controller compatibility would go a long way towards rectifying this, even if it's still not an ideal control mechanism. As a technical showcase, Space Junkies looks and attempts to play as a fast-paced arena shooter, and it mostly gets that part right. It's just a shame the controls get in the way on console, making the PSVR version feel lesser.
