What Retrospace is
Retrospace is an adventure game developed by The Wild Gentlemen and released in 2026. It was published by Kwalee. It is available on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.
The premise, in the publisher's words
You were but a simple janitor, now you are the last hope of all humanity! A traveling space station has been swallowed by a black hole. Weird mutants are everywhere and even time itself seems to have gone mad around you. Be sneaky or blast your way through the cursed station to find a way home. Can you save humanity? Or would you rather just save yourself? The choice is yours!
How it plays
It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are action and stealth. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.
How it was received
Retrospace holds a critic score of 80 out of 100. That places it above 64% of the 7,525 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2026 averaged 78, so it scored 2 points above the year average.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600, 16 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (4 GB) or AMD Radeon RX 570. A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Retrospace launched on 1 October 2026, within three weeks of Marvel's Wolverine, Control Resonant, Silent Hill: Townfall and Star Wars: Galactic Racer. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 6 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Marvel's Wolverine, Control Resonant, Silent Hill: Townfall, Star Wars: Galactic Racer.
