Great Circle playtest

About Great Circle

Great Circle is a momentum sport played inside a world that curves back on itself. Fly, catch, and score across a closed sphere where every straight line is a great circle — and the long way around is a scoring lane.

Part zero-gravity ball game, part non-Euclidean playground: match the ball's momentum to catch it, read its arc across the curved world, and bend shots the long way around to score from behind your opponent. Easy to pick up, deep to master, and unlike anything you've flown.

Score the long way around

In a closed, spherical arena there are no walls and no out of bounds. Every path loops all the way around and returns to where it started — so you can fire the ball away from the goal and watch it curve around the world into the net. Learning to think in curves is the whole game.

A sport built on momentum

You don't stop and grab the ball — you match its momentum to catch it, cut it off mid-flight, and fling it toward the goal. Pure physics, no twitch aim. Mastery is reading curves, not out-clicking people.

Flatscreen or VR — with cross-play between them

Play on a monitor with mouse, keyboard, or controller, or step into the arena in VR. Flatscreen and headset players share the same matches, so you can always play with your friends — whatever they're on.

Always a game to jump into

A quick tutorial, comfort options for VR, and bots that fill empty seats mean the arena's never empty while you learn to fly.
