In Space Force, a space exploration simulator, players must join forces with an elite group of Earth's best lines of defense, as they defend their planet from an alien menace from across the stars. The game centers around players' characters and the management of their space station as they deal with challenges such as oxygen failures, hull breaches, and more, not to mention the occasional extraterrestrial attack.

According to the announcement made about the Space Crew demo launch:

Space Crew will feature the same compelling gameplay loop as its beloved predecessor with players controlling the actions of their crew moment-to-moment in the minutiae of navigation, scanning and combat. The new space setting allows much more player freedom and campaign unpredictability with much greater mission variety and deeper strategic gameplay.
