Eve: Valkyrie is the Star Wars VR game I’ve always wanted

Being a fighter pilot in Eve: Valkyrie isn’t as cool as flying an X-Wing with Red Squadron. But so far, it’s the closest we’ll get to recreating our Star Wars fantasies in virtual reality.

The intergalactic dogfighting game is a spin-off of developer CCP Games’s decade-old massively multiplayer online universe, Eve Online. While Eve Online also has ship-to-ship battles, they’re a bit more cerebral than Valkyrie and require a lot of in-game resources. The multiplayer-only VR game makes space combat more accessible by turning it into a fast, arcade-like experience that puts you in the cockpit.
