Star Wars VR Trials On Tatoonie Coming To Steam

During this weekends Star Wars Celebration, ILMxLAB have announced that the VR Experiment, Trials On Tatoonie, will be coming to Steam VR for free from Monday July 18th.   This will be playable for anyone with a HTC Vive VR headset and was also available to experience at the event in London.

Trials on Tatooine allows players to be transported to Tatoonie, where players see the Millennium Falcon descend for a landing and R2D2 delivers a lightsaber that can be used to deflect blaster bolts back at firing stormtroopers.

According to Rob Bredow, Lucasfilm’s chief technology officer, Trials on Tatooine was an experiment to better understand the balance between interactivity and storytelling on this new platform. With Trials available on the Celebration show floor, many fans tried VR for the first time. “Celebration is all about Star Wars fans,” Bredow said, “and seeing the reception of Trials on the show floor has been an amazing experience for everyone involved.” In the spirit of Celebration, the release on Steam VR is meant as a thank you to the fans, and a chance to bring Trials on Tatooine to those who could not make the trip to London.
