ILMxLAB has just released the first Star Wars VR game on Steam. Trials on Tatooine is a free game that everyone can download right now from Steam, and supports the HTC Vive headset.
In Trials on Tatooine, players will wield a lightsaber as they leap into action in the most immersive Star Wars virtual reality experience ever.
Players will be able to repair the iconic Millennium Falcon, and defend the plucky droid hero R2-D2 from incoming stormtroopers in this captivating experience set after the events of Return of the Jedi.
As its description reads:
“Trials on Tatooine uses a single controller. We support both 5.1 surround and headphone audio, pick the setting with the icon on the intro screen for your configuration.
Trials on Tatooine approaches photo-realistic quality and requires a powerful computer. The quality setting on the left of the introduction screen should default to the correct setting for your system. If you drop frames try setting the quality knob one lower. In general, a minimum spec computer will run on the lowest setting while a fast computer with an Nvidia Titan X GPU will run on the highest setting. Trials on Tatooine also supports SLI and will automatically render on two GPU’s if available.”

Recommended Titan X?
Why not a faster GTX 1080 that is a lot cheaper?
NVIDIA has to promote their dumbest, worst perf/$ card somehow.
Playing this as soon as I get home. 16 gigs of RAM? Yeah ok.
Or a GTX 1070 that is also faster than Titan x?
Lack of shadows is disconcerting. Also, this would have looked
phenomenal if used the same engine/assets as the latest Frostbite-based
Battlefront. Because that game looks absolutely gorgeous.
That’s quite funny when you realize that to fully enjoy a FREE2PLAY game you need some negligible amount of money to buy a desktop pc (with $500+ Intel CPU and $2000+ SLI GPUs) and a HTC Vive VR headset.
Free to play, gentlemen.
Here you go!
“…….the most immersive Star Wars virtual reality experience ever.”
So that’s why the trailer is in 720p 30 fps right?
Very immersive (and cinematic ofc) indeed.
No as fun as that gif lol.
They’re also making a VR Vader game, just announced.
Its short but fun. Closest iv ever been to feeling like a real Jedi.
It was fun, but short. Hope its testing the waters for a possible paid game somewhere down the line. Also I think its the first game that made use of per eye sli.
