"Open Drive: Steer Cars with Eye Control Now on Android Early Access"

Open Drive, the innovative racing game for mobile devices, is now available in early access on Android. Developed by SpecialEffect, a charity dedicated to helping physically disabled players enjoy video games, in collaboration with Sun & Moon Studios, Open Drive redefines accessibility in gaming.

What’s the Game About?

Open Drive is crafted to be an inclusive gaming experience, allowing players to choose their preferred method of control—whether it's touch, keyboard and mouse, switch access, or a controller. This adaptability makes it a standout title for those who need alternative input methods.

A remarkable feature is the mobile-specific eye control, enabled through a compatible eye gaze camera. Players can steer their vehicle simply by looking left or right, opening up the world of gaming to those with physical challenges. This eye control is functional across all four of the game's open worlds: Stunt, Speed, Snow, and Meadow, marking a significant advancement in gaming accessibility.

Gameplay in Open Drive is incredibly versatile. Players can leisurely drive and collect orbs or aim for high scores with daring jumps using vehicles like the Roadster, Trickster, or Speedster. The game also allows for speed adjustments to suit individual preferences. Check out the early access announcement trailers for Open Drive below to see it in action.

Open Drive Is Now Out in Early Access

Open Drive automatically detects and adapts to your chosen control method, with full support for Switch Access on Android. Each control method, including touch, switch access, mouse, keyboard, and Android-compatible gamepads/controllers, has tailored setups. For touch controls, players can choose between 'Precise' and 'Classic' modes, which allow steering through tapping or directional control.

Currently available in early access on Android, the eye control feature is not yet fully implemented. However, once the full version is released later this summer, players will be able to experience it for free. You can explore Open Drive on the Google Play Store to see if it piques your interest.
