Jump Space, a cooperative spaceship crew-‘em-up, has just launched in early access and is rapidly gaining attention. This game, which can be described as the ‘Sea of Thieves’ without player-versus-player (PvP) elements but with exciting moon jumping mechanics, is capturing players’ hearts.

In the first 24 hours since its launch, Jump Space has peaked at 15,558 simultaneous players according to SteamDB, marking a significant achievement despite not reaching the player counts of major titles like Silksong or Borderlands 4. Initial reviews have been encouraging, with one player commenting:

“Initial impression is great. The performance is top notch … You jump with a ship in space. 10/10 would jump again.”

The game allows players to crew spaceships with up to three friends, dealing with spontaneous challenges while exploring alien worlds. It emphasizes cooperative play without the competitive frustrations typical of PvP-centric games, making it an appealing choice for gamers looking to unwind with friends.

Jump Space is available on Steam for those looking to dive into this new co-op adventure.
