The Oculus Quest systems received a new virtual reality experience on the 19th of November 2020. ILMxLab designed the graphics for this first-person shooter set in the Star Wars universe. The game launched as a standalone title before expanding to other platforms later. Developers drew inspiration from the physical land at Disneyland Park and Disney's Hollywood Studios known as Black Spire Outpost. This real-world location served as the direct blueprint for the digital environment players explore.

The narrative structure weaves these personal interactions with the larger conflict facing the galaxy.
