Overview
The backstory tell of a group of space-suited individuals whose job is was to remove unwanted debris from space. This eventually turned into a battle for resources and the right to own them. Players fight fight for glory and resources in an orbital arena (Orena) designed specifically to entertain. To make the game easier from both a design and VR combat standpoint, players float in a zero-gravity environment and use jetpacks for movement. In this way, players can stand in one spot while playing and move minimally in their playspace.

Becoming familiar with each map's environment will help the player become faster and more deadly over time. Space Junkies features 1v1, 2v2 and 1v3 (free for all) gameplay. The players have several fighters (aka Junkers)  to choose from so select one to match a preferred playstyle. Each one has a unique set of stats. The player is shown in the game in full body, including hands, which allows the player the ability to display emotes using gestures. Just try to keep it civil (per the devs).

Weapons include shotguns, railguns, miniguns, and more. Gadgets include a proton shield, a plasma sword, slingshots, rocket launchers, lures, and more.

There are options available in the menu for players to change movement catering to those who may suffer levels of vertigo or VR sickness while playing. The option to 'move where you are looking' is often a popular choice, and helps alleviate vertigo.
