  • The game is available on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and Nintendo Switch in June, as well as on Steam VR, with versions on Meta Quest and PlayStation VR2 set to launch soon.
  • Out of Sight was first developed as a student project by a small team at Sweden’s Futuregames academy, which believed in the power of innovation and perspective in gaming design.
