Enhancing Star Wars Outlaws with VR
A Galactic Adventure Elevated
Star Wars Outlaws has already captivated players with its immersive journey set in a distant galaxy, but for those with a VR headset, the experience is about to get even more thrilling. Ubisoft’s acclaimed open-world Star Wars game has become a sensation, engaging players in hours of exploration across diverse worlds and cities in search of unique encounters and intriguing collectibles. The allure of living the life of a space-faring rogue has never felt more tangible. Yet, a talented modder dared to ask: could this experience become even more realistic?
According to Eurogamer, modder Luke Ross has introduced a REAL VR mod for Star Wars Outlaws, allowing players to experience the game through the eyes of the protagonist, Kay. The mod is showcased in a video where players can seamlessly explore and navigate environments, with the game transitioning smoothly to a third-person perspective during various animations, both in and out of combat. This lovingly crafted VR mod integrates flawlessly with the game’s mechanics, offering Star Wars fans an opportunity to intimately engage with the universe.

The Speed Challenge
In a demonstration by Eurogamer’s Ian Higton, the Star Wars Outlaws REAL VR mod excels in capturing the essence of on-foot exploration. However, it encounters challenges when dealing with high-speed sequences. A notable instance occurs when Higton takes off on Kay’s speeder, leading to an awkward visual glitch reminiscent of the infamous Assassin’s Creed: Unity bug, where the character’s face appears as a hollow cutout. Despite this hiccup, the mod remains highly playable, and it’s anticipated that Ross will address this issue in future updates.
While some might worry that the absence of motion controls could detract from the experience, Higton’s playthrough using a standard controller proved remarkably effective. Although this might slightly diminish the game’s tactile feel, it ensures a smooth and uninterrupted experience.
