About The Orville - Interactive Fan Experience
Step aboard the USS Orville, a meticulously recreated mid‑level exploratory cruiser, and wander its decks at your own pace. The experience offers both first‑person and third‑person views, letting you soak in the ship’s details alone or with friends.
Beyond roaming, you can pilot the vessel, test weapons, customize quarters, and trigger a range of alert atmospheres. A community‑driven Steam Workshop lets you share designs, while in‑game chat supports text and voice for a lively multiplayer atmosphere.
