Star Trek: Bridge Crew from Ubisoft and its Red Storm studio could be one of the most interesting social virtual reality games coming your way.

This sim comes out on May 30 for Oculus Rift with Touch, HTC Vive, and PlayStation VR (PSVR). It will have full cross-platform multiplayer. I was able to play a few missions with my fellow game journalists at a preview event at Ubisoft in San Francisco. And I also interview creative director Red Storm’s David Votypka, who also worked on Ubisoft’s Werewolves Within VR that debuted last fall.
