Now Available on Quest Early Access: ‘BuildPort Xumia’ Allows You to Design & Pilot Custom Spaceships

You know how sometimes things just pop out at you, like a squirrel darting across the road while you’re, I dunno, lost in thought about what to have for dinner? That’s kinda how Yumebau’s new game, BuildPort Xumia, hit me. So there I was, fumbling around on my Quest, minding my own business, when bam! — early access launch. We’re talking space combat, flying bits of shiny metal, and building stuff from what feels like LEGO blocks—except we’re in space. Cool, eh?

Anyway, if you’ve got a Quest 3 or 3S, you can dive into this wild mix—it’s like Kerbal Space Program had a hilarious meeting with an arena shooter. You get to build your ships from scratch and then use ‘em to zap some cosmic baddies. It’s hands-on, like crafting your X-Wing or maybe a battle drone because why not. But here’s the thing: you gotta manage energy, too. I mean, you don’t want your ship sputtering into the void because you forgot to power the thrusters, right? Been there… with my phone at 1%.

Oh, the pieces. Tons of them. Modular blocks everywhere. Weapons, thrusters, even sensors to get your ship behaving like it’s got a mind of its own. Or not! Because let’s face it, the real kick is in piloting these beasts yourself, first-person style.

What else? At launch, there’s this 1v1 duel arena. Challenge a friend or, like me, argue with the AI for practice. Endless fun. Bringing a buddy? Build ships together, live. It’s basically playtime but for grown-ups (or kids-at-heart).

And here’s a nugget for the lone rangers out there: ‘Xumi Trials’. Solo challenge mania. You design, you test, you succeed—or explode dramatically. Studio promises more goodies to come, too. New modes, avatars, ship parts—like waiting for the next season of your favorite show.

Oh, if you’re curious, grab it from the Horizon Store for a neat $6. Maybe grab a frothy coffee to go with the download. Space battles and caffeine, my ultimate combo.
