It\u2019s another freebie that will take you no more than 10 minutes to complete, though it packs a bit more of a punch than <em>Droid Repair Bay<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>For one, this is the only <em>Star Wars<\/em> VR experience that opens with a title crawl. This probably feels more novel in 2025 as the franchise has made a concerted effort to stop overusing the conceit, but even if you still tire of it, the effect is particularly cool in VR. It\u2019s also the most up-close and personal we get with the Millennium Falcon as Han Solo lands the iconic ship over you. You can nearly feel the steam from its exhaust pipes as it smothers your face.<\/p>\n<p>The Falcon is the main attraction here, to be frank. Any gameplay is half-baked, especially as you\u2019re given a lightsaber only to momentarily use it as a laser reflector. Still, you\u2019re getting a condensed blast of series iconography at no cost, and like <em>Droid Repair Bay,<\/em> it\u2019ll run on any modern machine.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"star-wars-squadrons\">\n            <span class=\"item-num\">5 <\/span><br \/>\n        <span><br \/>\n                            <em>Star Wars: Squadrons<\/em><br \/>\n                    <\/span><br \/>\n       <\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape \">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" :56.25%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/goodwriterz.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748343880_459_6-Star-Wars-VR-Games-You-Need-to-Try-And.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;EA&quot;\">\n<figure>\n        <picture><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" data- \/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" data- \/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" data- \/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" data- \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The cockpit view of an X-wing in a battle with TIE fighters and a Star Destroyer in Star Wars Squadrons.\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/goodwriterz.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748343880_459_6-Star-Wars-VR-Games-You-Need-to-Try-And.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodwriterz.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748343880_459_6-Star-Wars-VR-Games-You-Need-to-Try-And.jpg?resize=1200%2C675&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"display:block;height:auto;max-width:100%;\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">EA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re a fan of the classic <em>Rogue Squadron<\/em> space combat games, <em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1222730\/STAR_WARS_Squadrons\/\">Star Wars: Squadrons<\/a> <\/em>is the successor you\u2019ve been waiting for. Maneuvering through dogfights from within the cockpit of a TIE Fighter or X-wing is utterly surreal, and the arcade-level mechanical depth makes it easy for anyone to grasp while leaving plenty for hardcore players to master.<\/p>\n<p>Everything you can do in the PC and PlayStation 4 versions is also available in VR. This includes the full campaign and every online multiplayer mode. You\u2019ll need to join community Discord servers if you want to guarantee online matches at this point, but the story mode is still a great taste of what being a pilot in the <em>Star Wars<\/em> universe feels like. It was a pretty special moment to turn around in my X-wing and see the droid helping me navigate. If you can pick the game up on sale (it\u2019s often <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/steamdb.info\/app\/1222730\/\">as cheap as $1.99 on Steam<\/a>), it\u2019s worth trying for those details alone.<\/p>\n<p>There are caveats here, though. For one, there\u2019s a lot of tumbling and swerving involved, so consider passing on this if you\u2019re easily prone to motion sickness. Also, the startup experience is particularly awful in VR as it\u2019s a major pain to get around the prompt to log in to an EA account, at least in the PCVR version. At least you don\u2019t need an EA account if you only plan to play single player. Lastly, the game didn\u2019t recognize my Meta Quest 3 controllers, and I needed to use a gamepad. Your mileage may vary with other headsets\u2019 controllers.<\/p>\n<p>The upside is that <em>Squadrons<\/em> doesn\u2019t have particularly demanding PC requirements. If you can get over the hurdles, there\u2019s a one-of-a-kind <em>Star Wars<\/em> experience to be had here.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"vader-immortal\">\n            <span class=\"item-num\">4 <\/span><br \/>\n        <span><br \/>\n                            <em>Vader Immortal<\/em><br \/>\n                    <\/span><br \/>\n       <\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape \">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" :56.25%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/goodwriterz.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748343880_770_6-Star-Wars-VR-Games-You-Need-to-Try-And.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;ILM Immersive \\\/ Disney&quot;\">\n<figure>\n        <picture><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" data- \/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" data- \/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" data- \/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" data- \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Darth Vader in the dark illuminated by his red lightsaber in the VR game Vader Immortal.\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/goodwriterz.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748343880_770_6-Star-Wars-VR-Games-You-Need-to-Try-And.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodwriterz.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748343880_770_6-Star-Wars-VR-Games-You-Need-to-Try-And.jpg?resize=1200%2C675&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"display:block;height:auto;max-width:100%;\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">ILM Immersive \/ Disney<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.meta.com\/experiences\/vader-immortal-episode-i\/2108775495884888\/\"><em>Vader Immortal<\/em><\/a> was something of a hero game for the Oculus Quest. It follows a canon story proceeding the original trilogy wherein Darth Vader scours a desolate planet for a powerful ancient artifact. Your character plays a pivotal role in his plans, a conceit that leads you to unearth your latent lightsaber and force powers across the three episodes. In other words, <em>Vader Immortal<\/em> saw ILM Immersive finally committing to the Jedi power fantasy people were craving most from a VR <em>Star Wars<\/em> game.<\/p>\n<p>The execution is a mixed bag. The story is little more than a means to make cool VR moments happen, the force powers undermine lightsaber combat, and two-generation-old graphics are showing their age. However, it gets Vader right, presenting him as genuinely intimidating and larger-than-life while also exploring his intimately human side. It\u2019s one of the better depictions of the Sith Lord outside the original trilogy, which itself is enough to easily recommend this game to any <em>Star Wars<\/em> fan.<\/p>\n<p>Well, at least for the right price. The combined cost of $30 for what\u2019s essentially a 2.5-hour playable film is tough to justify. Wait for a sale, which typically allows you to nab all three episodes for the price of one.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"star-wars-pinball-vr\">\n            <span class=\"item-num\">3 <\/span><br \/>\n        <span><br \/>\n                            <em>Star Wars Pinball VR<\/em><br \/>\n                    <\/span><br \/>\n       <\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape \">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" :56.25%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/goodwriterz.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748343880_137_6-Star-Wars-VR-Games-You-Need-to-Try-And.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;Zen Studios&quot;\">\n<figure>\n        <picture><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" data- \/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" data- \/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" data- \/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" data- \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A droid and jawa next to a pinball table in Star Wars Pinball VR.\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/goodwriterz.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748343880_137_6-Star-Wars-VR-Games-You-Need-to-Try-And.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodwriterz.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748343880_137_6-Star-Wars-VR-Games-You-Need-to-Try-And.jpg?resize=1200%2C675&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"display:block;height:auto;max-width:100%;\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">Zen Studios<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Zen Studios established itself as the leading digital pinball developer with its authentic recreations of classic tables and immaculately realistic physics.

What could\u2019ve been a cash-grab tie-in with the Disney theme park land is instead a playground for ILM Immersive to showcase refinements on all its prior works.<\/p>\n<p>This is primarily a shooter that adequately adapts everything you\u2019d expect from VR gunplay: free aiming, manual reloads, ducking behind cover, and holsters around your body. The AI isn\u2019t particularly smart, but then again, that\u2019s pretty on-brand for enemy troops in <em>Star Wars<\/em>. However, what you\u2019ll probably be most engaged by are the titular \u201ctales\u201d that put you in the shoes of other characters for a spell. This is where you get to play with lightsabers, force powers, and auto-targeting bounty hunter android gun arms. When factoring in its exceptional <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.meta.com\/experiences\/last-call\/4125935927492697\/\"><em>Last Call<\/em> DLC expansion<\/a>, this is the most comprehensive <em>Star Wars<\/em> VR game.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also a treat for anyone who loves the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/disneyparks.disney.go.com\/star-wars-galaxys-edge\/\">Galaxy\u2019s Edge theme park land<\/a>. It\u2019s filled with offhand lines and interactions with park-exclusive characters that help flesh out the lore. It\u2019s pretty cool to be face-to-face with trinket merchant Dok-Ondar beyond his animatronic form, or to eat a virtual Ronto Wrap. But the coolest moment has to be overlooking an accurate depiction of the land from the cantina\u2019s window, which ironically includes the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/dining\/hollywood-studios\/ogas-cantina\/\">actual cantina you can visit in-person<\/a>. Knowing these references isn\u2019t remotely essential to enjoying the game, but for me, it puts it over the top. If the parks aren\u2019t your thing, there are still plenty of classic characters thrown into the mix who you won&#8217;t find in other <em>Star Wars<\/em> VR games.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/store.playstation.com\/en-us\/concept\/10004699\">PlayStation VR2 version<\/a> features enhanced visuals over the original Quest 2 release, making it the best way to play if you have a choice.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"secrets-of-the-empire\">\n            <span class=\"item-num\">1 <\/span><br \/>\n        <span><br \/>\n                            <em>Secrets of the Empire<\/em><br \/>\n                    <\/span><br \/>\n       <\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape \">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" :56.197916666667%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/goodwriterz.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/6-Star-Wars-VR-Games-You-Need-to-Try-And.jpeg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;ILM Interactive \\\/ The Void&quot;\">\n<figure>\n        <picture><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" data- \/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" data- \/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" data- \/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" data- \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" width=\"1200\" height=\"674\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A large droid looking at a VR user in Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire.\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/goodwriterz.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/6-Star-Wars-VR-Games-You-Need-to-Try-And.jpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodwriterz.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/6-Star-Wars-VR-Games-You-Need-to-Try-And.jpeg?resize=1200%2C674&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"display:block;height:auto;max-width:100%;\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">ILM Interactive \/ The Void<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unrealengine.com\/de\/spotlights\/star-wars-secrets-of-the-empire\">Secrets of the Empire<\/a> <\/em>had a profound impact on me, and not only because it was my first tango with VR. This 15-minute adventure offered by location-based VR company <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thevoid.com\">The Void<\/a> died alongside the company after it was shuttered during COVID lockdowns. Not even a video walkthrough exists, but then again, that couldn\u2019t possibly do this experience justice.<\/p>\n<p>The Void was a breakthrough in VR immersion by placing players\u2014equipped with a headset and haptic vest\u2014in a maze of rooms wherein everything seen in the headset had a tangible real-life counterpart. If there was a doorway, you could go through it. If there was a chair, you could sit in it. If there was a gun, you could pick it up. If you were playing alongside others, you could see them as their pre-chosen avatars. This setup was also ingenious in how it could be recycled to fit any number of experiences, but <em>Secrets of the Empire<\/em> was the company\u2019s marquee offering that it\u2019ll be most remembered for.<\/p>\n<p>This experience\u2014developed by ILM Immersive\u2014serves as a prequel to <em>Vader Immortal<\/em>, with Cassian Andor sending you to that game\u2019s planet to infiltrate the Empire\u2019s outpost. After getting caught, you shoot your way through a legion of Stormtroopers using physical gun props until finally getting extracted at the last possible moment. Specific moments remain lodged in my memory, like vibrations when riding a skiff that tricked my body into trying to balance itself, and thinking I was playing smart by using a doorway as cover against incoming gunfire. A cast member had to push me along, likely so I didn\u2019t break things by not moving into the next room. Too smart for my own good, perhaps.<\/p>\n<p><em>Secrets of the Empire<\/em> was an experience that transcended <em>Star Wars<\/em>. It showed me what VR was capable of, and with The Void now being shuttered for good, who knows if it\u2019ll ever get there again.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em>Star Wars<\/em> has been on a VR hiatus for the last few years, but it\u2019s finally mounting a comeback.<\/p>\n<p>Conducting rhythm game <em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.meta.com\/experiences\/maestro\/6963344583787383\/\">Maestro<\/a> <\/em>is receiving a DLC pack on June 20th which will include \u201cDuel of the Fates\u201d from <em>Star Wars: Episode I<\/em> and a lightsaber baton. This is one of my favorite VR games, so I\u2019m confident this performance will be nothing shown of a showstopper.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.starwars.com\/news\/star-wars-beyond-victory-announce\"><em>Star Wars: Beyond Victory<\/em><\/a>, a new game from ILM Immersive centered around podracing that will use a mix of VR and MR (mixed reality) to tell its story.
