"Drive with Eye Control: Open Drive Hits Early Android Access"

Open Drive, the groundbreaking racing game for mobile, is now available in early access on Android. Developed by the charity organization SpecialEffect, in collaboration with Sun & Moon Studios, this game is not just another title—it's a revolution in gaming accessibility designed to cater to everyone, especially those with physical disabilities.

What's the Game About?

Open Drive is all about flexibility and inclusivity. Whether you prefer using touch controls, a keyboard and mouse, switch access, or a game controller, this game adapts to your preferred method of play. It's built from the ground up to ensure that everyone can enjoy the thrill of racing.

One of the most innovative features of Open Drive is its mobile-specific eye control functionality. With a compatible eye gaze camera, players can steer their vehicle simply by looking left or right. This feature is a game-changer for players who rely on alternative input methods like eye gaze, allowing them to experience the excitement of an open-world driving game on their mobile devices. This accessibility extends across all four distinct game worlds: Stunt, Speed, Snow, and Meadow.

The gameplay in Open Drive is designed to be as flexible as possible. You can take a leisurely drive, collecting orbs, or chase high scores by pulling off daring jumps and stunts with vehicles like the Roadster, Trickster, or Speedster. The speed settings are adjustable, allowing you to tailor the experience to your liking. Check out the early access announcement trailers below to see Open Drive in action.

Open Drive Is Now Out in Early Access

Open Drive is currently in early access on Android, and it smartly auto-detects and adjusts to the control method you're using. Switch Access on Android is fully supported, ensuring a seamless experience for those who use this feature. Each input method has its own tailored setup. For instance, touch controls offer 'Precise' and 'Classic' modes, allowing you to steer either by tapping or directional control.

While the eye control feature is not yet fully implemented in the early access version, it's slated to be available in the full release coming later this summer. You can download and try Open Drive for free on the Google Play Store to see if it piques your interest.
