Space 'FPX' ADR1FT Cancelled on Xbox One

Drifting away.

39 Comments

'First person experience' Adr1ft is "no longer releasing on Xbox One," according to the game's writer, Adam Orth.

Orth replied to a fan on Twitter, advising them to "get a refund." As co-founder of developer Three One Zero, he initially said the game would be coming to PS4, PC, and Xbox One. Publisher 505 Games declined to comment.

The writer, who also composed the game's score, said the game is inspired by the aftermath of him leaving Microsoft following his controversial "deal with it" tweets. "I was becoming the next victim of the Internet hate phenomenon," he said in a talk about the issue at GDC. "It was an absolute feeding frenzy. My public and private life was fair game. People began to distance themselves from me. I was dejected, ashamed, and embarrassed. I destroyed my career and feared being blacklisted by the industry. I went from income to no income."

Adr1ft launched on PC and PS4 earlier this year, and is also playable in VR. We weren't huge fans of the sci-fi adventure here at GameSpot--critic Mike Mahardy awarded it a 5. Check out our full Adr1ft review.

I can appreciate his inspiration and motivation for why he decided to create this game but at the end of the day the consequences that occurred was from his own doing... Much luck to him and his future

Jeez people. Move on. He apologized. Have a little decency and forgive the guy. Sure you've never said something you regretted in a self righteous moment. Ha, you wish. #HoldThatGrudgeForever

I'm glad Xbox One isn't "always on" like he was so passionate about having. If you even try to use the "instant-on" feature the system becomes glitchy as hell and nothing works. I always use power saver mode.

What does one expect when you're a yes man for a corp who was and is wrong????? no long speech, IDK2F who you are, when you say things as a representative of the corp you can't just tell people we're right, you're wrong deal with it and expect no backlash.....

I will never give Adam Orth any of my money. His ideals and condescending attitude towards "always online" aren't inline with my beliefs. Get him to get out of the games industry. he doesn't deserve the fan base he's getting from Ad1ft.

@davillain-: Seriously? This game was hyped for quite a while (pre-release) because of the similaries of Gravity.

@leblnk: Sorry but I didn't know nothing of this game at all and I haven't heard anyone mentioning about it, even by going through Gamespot forums for that matter.

@davillain-: It intrigued a lot of people at E3 and had major coverage in GI around that time.

It's a shame too because it had a lot of promise, great visual appeal leading up to it's release.

Seems like a trend.

@leblnk: To be fair, it was hyped in the middle of the avant-garde sci-fi genre explosion. There have been a lot of these kinds of games, clamoring for attention lately. Most are either still in early access or closed development. I think Adr1ft tried beating everyone to the punch, rather than polish up the core product.....and that ALWAYS works out well. :-)

I actually played it on a friends PS4... It's nice, I guess. Not for me though. It's just a game that, honestly, I found kind of "blah". I am sure many people will like it and I suspect that in VR it might be more fun. But for some reason I couldn't quite get into it.

Oh, this moron? I thought he faded into obscurity. Turns out he was making a game.

I, for one, am glad this will not be on Xbox One. We don't need to support trash like him.

Wow, aren't you too harsh? I would rather hang out with him than with a person with such hateful way to express themself as you did in your post. People has the right to be wrong occasionally and we should not be calling them trash for all eternity.
