Conduisez des voitures avec vos yeux dans Open Drive Android, accès anticipé

Open Drive is a groundbreaking, accessibility-first mobile racing game currently in early access on Android, developed by SpecialEffect — a charity dedicated to empowering people with physical disabilities to enjoy video games — in partnership with Sun & Moon Studios.

🎮 What Is Open Drive About?

At its core, Open Drive is an open-world driving adventure that celebrates inclusivity and player choice. It’s not just a game — it’s a statement on how video games can be designed to welcome everyone, regardless of physical ability.

Players explore four diverse and vibrant open-world environments:

Stunt – For performing jaw-dropping jumps and tricks
Speed – A high-octane track experience
Snow – A frozen landscape perfect for drifts and icy thrills
Meadow – A peaceful, scenic world ideal for relaxed exploration

Each world is packed with hidden orbs to collect, challenges to complete, and impressive jumps to master using a variety of vehicles:

Roadster – Balanced for fun and control
Trickster – Built for flips and stunts
Speedster – Made for fast-paced racing and high speeds

🎯 Key Features That Make It Special

✅ Universal Accessibility by Design

Fully supports touch, keyboard & mouse, gamepads, switch access, and eye-gaze control — all out of the box.
Designed from the ground up to work with assistive technologies, making it one of the most inclusive mobile games ever made.

🔍 Mobile-Specific Eye Control (A Major Leap)

The standout feature is native eye-tracking support using compatible cameras.
Simply look left or right to steer — no hand movement required.
This opens the door for players with limited mobility (e.g., those using eye-tracking devices like Tobii or built-in smartphone eye-tracking) to fully enjoy a complex open-world game — something extremely rare in mobile gaming.

⚙️ Fully Customizable Controls

Every input method can be individually configured:
- Touch: Choose between Precise (tap to steer) or Classic (swipe direction)
- Switch Access: Fully customizable for one- or two-switch setups
- Keyboard/Mouse and Gamepads: Standard and advanced configurations supported
The interface auto-adapts to your chosen input method — no setup confusion.

🌍 Player-Centric Gameplay

Go at your own pace: relax and explore, or race for high scores.
Adjustable driving speed lets you play comfortably, whether you're a casual explorer or a hardcore stunt performer.

📲 Availability

Now in Early Access on Google Play Store for Android.
The eye-control feature may still be in development, but full functionality is expected in the full release later this summer.
Free-to-play at launch — no cost to play, with no paywalls blocking core features.
