About this game
DRIFTERS: Blackout Crew is a PvE co-op VR extraction shooter where your crew raids ancient alien temples to keep a dying mothership alive.
Stranded in deep space and running on emergency power, your ship survives on what you steal. Raid with up to four players, drop into hostile temple complexes, and fight through ancient machines guarding impossible energy systems older than anyone understands.
Push Deeper or Extract
Each temple is an ancient energy system waiting to be cracked open. Scout the route, scavenge rare materials, activate alien machinery, and fight through escalating defenses. Steal what you can, protect what you’re carrying, and get out before the temple turns against you.
Turn Every Raid Into Progress
Back on the mothership, turn stolen energy and rare resources into weapon parts, suit upgrades, alien research, and new tools for the next raid. Shape your build, support your crew, and prepare for the next drop.
Built for Co-op VR
Built for VR from the ground up, DRIFTERS puts every action in your hands: handle weapons, reload under pressure, grab loot, use wrist-mounted tools, revive teammates, cover your squad, and fight your way back to extraction.
From the Creators of Sweet Surrender
DRIFTERS: Blackout Crew is built by a VR-first team with years of experience supporting and improving our games alongside the community.
