The Station is getting a new Free Exploration mode that debuts on PC today and will come to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 later this month.

The Station sees players assume the role of a recon specialist, sent in to discover the ultimate fate of the research group that recently discovered an intelligent species on a distant planet.

A new Free Explore mode is available today that gives players complete access to the Espial, making it possible to wander the halls of the station at their own pace, without doors to unlock or puzzles to solve. The mode is out now for PC and will arrive later for PS4 and Xbox One versions.

The game is also being ported to PlayStation VR, HTC Vive, and the Oculus Rift in Q3 2018. The Station’s in-game Augmented Reality UI promises to look better in VR. This system provides a visual representation of conversations, correspondence, and a map at all times. When opening the menu, a single button press deploys the menu, which hovers in physical space and can be left there as long as players want.

The Station was released early this year.
