vSports fans – all good things come to an end, even to plasma-clad champion athletes. Today, we have begun the process of discontinuing support for Sparc to focus CCP Games’ efforts and resources on new developments in our evolving portfolio of EVE Universe titles.

We are extremely proud of what we accomplished with Sparc and want to extend our deep appreciation to all our players for their support throughout the game’s lifecycle. It is an honor to have been a part of such a dedicated community.

For the time being, you won’t see any effect if you own a copy of the game. The game will continue to be playable with our servers remaining active until date August 5th 2022.

On August 5th 2022, Sparc’s servers will be turned off, social media profiles will be closed, and this website will go offline. Once servers are deactivated, Sparc will no longer be playable.

Thank you for being a part of Sparc. We remain open to exploring future opportunities in the VR space, but for now, we look forward to the next chapter of the EVE Universe. We hope you'll be a part of it and continue the journey with us.

End User License Agreement (EULA)


Thank you for your interest in Sparc, an interactive online game available in virtual reality (“Sparc” or the “Game”). Sparc is offered by CCP Games UK Ltd, (“CCP”), United Kingdom, a company dedicated to the creation of next generation games.

You may play Sparc by downloading and using CCP’s proprietary software (the “Software”). Using the Software allows you to log into CCP’s client system (the “System”) and interact within the game environment created by CCP. To play Sparc, CCP also requires that you review and agree to this End User License Agreement (“EULA”), which also refers to CCP’s terms of service and privacy policy.

This EULA describes the terms and conditions under which you may (1) use the Software; (2) access and use Sparc; and (3) access and interact within the System. CCP may amend this EULA from time to time by posting an amended version that must be accepted before accessing the Game. Once you accept this EULA, the then-current version of the EULA shall apply each time you access the System or play Sparc.

By selecting “ACCEPT” (or if you bypass selecting “ACCEPT”, and still access or otherwise use the Software, the System, or the Game), you accept the terms and conditions in the EULA, including all Exhibits, if applicable. If you do not accept the terms and conditions in the EULA, you should select “DECLINE”, discontinue use of the Software, and not access the System or use Sparc.

You may play Sparc with the following platforms:
