Retro anime-style co-op adventure Orbitals will launch with a free "friend pass," meaning only one member of a duo needs to purchase the game for both to play together. This lowers the barrier to entry for co-op fans, a welcome move given that asking a friend to buy a game just to play alongside you is often a sticking point for multiplayer titles.

Orbitals is being developed with a hand-drawn, retro anime aesthetic and is designed around two-player cooperative adventuring. Full pricing, platform and release date details were not confirmed in the available information, but the inclusion of a launch-day friend pass signals the developers' intent to make the co-op experience as accessible as possible from day one.
