About EVE Online

EVE Online is a Space Sim developed by CCP Games, released in 2003. It sits across Space Sim and MMORPG, so it borrows ideas from each rather than sticking to one template.

You can play EVE Online on desktop (PC and Mac). It supports PvP and MMO, so expect the experience to revolve around other players rather than a solo campaign.

EVE Online is free to download and play, which makes it a low-risk way to find out whether the Space Sim loop clicks for you. It carries a Teen age rating. It will suit you best if you enjoy player economy, fleet combat and industry experiences.
