Open Drive, the groundbreaking mobile racing game, is now available in early access on Android. Developed by the charity organization SpecialEffect in collaboration with Sun & Moon Studios, Open Drive is not just a game—it's a testament to inclusivity in gaming. This innovative title is designed to cater to players of all abilities, ensuring everyone can enjoy the thrill of open-world driving.
Open Drive is engineered to be adaptable, allowing players to choose their preferred control method—whether it's touch, keyboard and mouse, switch access, or a controller. This inclusivity extends to players who use alternative input methods such as eye gaze, making the game accessible to a broader audience. A standout feature is the mobile-specific eye control, which lets players steer simply by looking left or right, a significant advancement for accessibility in gaming.
The game offers four distinct open worlds: Stunt, Speed, Snow, and Meadow, each tailored to work seamlessly with the eye control feature. Gameplay is highly flexible, allowing you to cruise around collecting orbs at your own pace or chase high scores with daring jumps using vehicles like the Roadster, Trickster, or Speedster. You can also adjust the speed to match your preference. To get a glimpse of what Open Drive has to offer, check out the early access announcement trailers below.
Open Drive is designed to auto-detect and adapt to your chosen control method, ensuring a smooth gaming experience. For those using touch controls, you can choose between 'Precise' and 'Classic' modes, allowing you to steer either by tapping or directional control. Similarly, the game offers specialized setups for Switch Access, mouse, keyboard, and Android-compatible gamepads or controllers.
Currently available in early access on Android, Open Drive's eye control feature is still in development and will be fully implemented in the complete version, expected to launch later this summer. You can try the game now for free on the Google Play Store to see if it piques your interest.
