That’s because we might finally be getting a Han Solo simulator that I - and I’m sure others - have been waiting ages for. But Star Wars: Outlaws could hit differently.
Having spent a decent amount of time in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, I’d not normally get that excited about another Ubisoft open-world game we have enough of those already and I don’t have as much free time as I used to. Revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday, June 11 and then Ubisoft Forward 2023 a day later, Star Wars: Outlaws is a game that’ll put players in the boots of Kay Vess as she delves into the underworld of the Star Wars ‘universe.’ And this being an Ubisoft-published game means there’s an open-world/worlds to explore, which should let us dive deeper into the lived-in setting of a galaxy far, far away. And that could get another jolt of the Force with Star Wars: Outlaws.
With Jedi Survivor winning acclaim from critics and players alike, and Star Wars Squadrons still being a great arcade-like space dogfighting title worthy of our best Xbox Series X games list, you could argue we’re entering a new golden age for Star Wars games. This is obviously not the case now but, if you want to try out the work-in-progess VR mod for Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy you will still need to be a Patreon member.An image of the Star Wars: Outlaws key art Please bear in mind though that at the time I recorded this episode video, the mod was still locked behind a Team Beef Patreon paywall. You can watch me take the first hour of the game for a spin in the VR Corner video above if you want to get an idea of how good it looks and how well it runs. Secondly, although JK XR is free to download you will need to own a copy of the original game on Steam in order to play, which is currently about £7.19. The first is that JK XR is currently only available on the SideQuest app for the Quest II and Pico4, something that PC VR and OG Quest owners may feel is a bit Bantha poodoo. There are a couple of things to bear in mind though. That's right, you can shoot blasters, swing lightsabers and use Force powers all with the power of your upper body. If you played the original game, you'll be right at home here because this out of this world port puts the entirety of Kyle Katarn's 2002 adventure into first person VR, with motion controls.
This is all thanks to the recent release of Team Beef's JK XR mod, a standalone OpenXR port of Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. Forget about about the Force, the only thing I can feel flowing through the galaxy right now is the power of nostalgia.
