About Destination: Pluto The VR Experience
The New Horizons probe to Pluto, a spacecraft that traveled almost a million miles per day for a decade, is one of the most celebrated missions in the history of space exploration. It is by far the longest journey in human history, and you can join us at the destination in immersive virtual reality. Imagery and topographical data sent from the probe have revealed for the first time an astonishing planet filled with the wonders of new, previously unknown geological processes.
What if you could stand on the surface of Pluto and behold some of these wonders up close, as though you were actually there? Using real imagery and data from 3 billion miles away, Destination Pluto: The VR Experience harnesses the power of virtual reality to give you mankind’s first self-guided tour of the surface of Pluto.
Destination Pluto: The VR Experience showcases three different locations based on their unusual geological processes—from the dark canyon lands of Krun Macula in the south; to the glacier spill way of Sputnik Planum’s north shore at the al-Idrisi Mountains; to the pitted high plains of the central Sputnik Planum. Tour these locations from the safety of your own personal space pod, or, if you dare, fly among the hills and canyons yourself. You can even walk around, and heft huge boulders as each location is calibrated with the physics of Pluto’s gravity in mind. Jet-pack across an entire hemisphere of Pluto and even visit the New Horizons spacecraft as it makes its way through the Plutonian System. Descriptive placards highlight points of interest around the landscape.

✦ AI summary
Destination: Pluto offers an educational VR experience with impressive visuals of the distant dwarf planet and a strong sense of immersion in space, which some find engaging and worthwhile for astronomy enthusiasts. However, players criticize it more as a passive walking simulator than a game, with complaints about poor optimization, loading bugs, limited interactivity, and lack of engaging gameplay loops that leave many feeling it's more of a novelty than a compelling experience. Since it's free, it may appeal to VR users interested in space exploration, but those seeking actual gameplay shou
Destination: Pluto The VR Experience is not a game. It's a VR walking sim a bit like Google Earth's flight mode, except you investigate the dwarf planet Pluto instead of the Earth. It's a common mistake for developers who are unfamiliar with Steam, and with developers who don't know the difference between games and non-game software to launch their software as a game on Steam instead of in the software section where it belongs. There are no game loops, just moving around and looking at stuff. This is also poorly implemented with many reports of loading time bugs and other aspects consistent with poor optimisation. While this is free, and that's noble, it's not a game, so I don't recommend this to gamers.1 found this helpful
Игра "Destination: Pluto The VR Experience" – это невероятное, хоть и короткое, путешествие к самой далёкой планете Солнечной системы. Визуально безупречно, особенно впечатляет вид Плутона и его спутников вблизи. Ощущение присутствия в космосе поражает – словно паришь рядом с космическим кораблем, наблюдая за работой NASA. Информация подана доступно и интересно, даже для тех, кто далек от астрономии. Не хватает, конечно, большего интерактива и возможности дольше исследовать пространство вокруг, но как образовательный опыт – это замечательно. Рекомендую всем, кто интересуется космосом и VR, особенно если есть возможность испытать на качественном шлеме. Однозначно стоит попробовать ради захватывающего вида и уникального опыта посещения Плутона "вживую".

There is room for improvement.
Played on HTC Vive Pro/Vive wands/RTX2060Super. Well I applaud the effort, but for me it was boring.. It's free so there's no reason not to try it to see if you like it.
