Now Available on Quest Early Access: ‘BuildPort Xumia’ Lets You Design & Pilot Your Own Custom Spaceships

Oh boy, where do I even start? So, this tiny indie XR studio, Yumebau, just threw BuildPort Xumia into the wild for early access on Quest. Imagine Kerbal Space Program got mashed with a multiplayer shooter — yup, that’s what you get here. You’re flying around in space, zipping through combat, and oh, you’re building your own spaceships. From scratch. Which sounds insane, right?

Anyway, this thing’s available now on Quest 3 and 3S. I like to think of it as tinkering with space LEGOs, but the LEGOs could, you know, take down baddies. You get to wire them up, load them with cool gadgets, and basically, if you dream it, you build it! Mechs, drones, maybe even slap together something that’d make even an X-Wing blush.

The catch? You gotta manage all this energy stuff — balancing power, keeping things moving and shooting in both virtual and, wait for it, mixed reality. Also, all these little modular blocks, sensors, and whatnot — they mean your ship can do cool autonomous tricks. But honestly, the real thrill is getting in the cockpit yourself. Imagine flying it first person… just, wow.

They kicked off with a 1v1 duel arena. Head-to-head challenges, right? Take on your pals or have at it solo with AI. And building ships together with friends in real time? That’s a whole other layer of chaos. No idea why I love that idea so much, but there it is.

Oh! Almost forgot about the ‘Xumi Trials’. These are skill-based solo challenges to really push your designs. It’s like, are you as good as you think? Maybe, maybe not.

The devs are promising more stuff after launch: new modes, avatars, ship pieces, all sorts of juicy upgrades. For now, you can grab it from the Horizon Store on Quest 3 and 3S. Only $6 because it’s on discount (it’s usually $10). I mean, space adventures on sale? Yes, please.
