Ubisoft's open-world game confirms that gamers exist in the Star Wars galaxy
Ubisoft says Star Wars Outlaws is the first open-world video game based on the popular sci-fi franchise. But it also offers another first: In a new trailer for Outlaws that debuted at Ubisoft Forward 2024, we see our first canonical example of an in-universe video game in Star Wars. Star Wars Outlaws was first shown by Ubisoft in 2023.
In a franchise where “Ducks” have a few paragraphs and pictures in their wiki entry, it stands out that games are so underrepresented in the universe. Technically, video games were mentioned once in Legends , in the 1993 Choose Your Own Adventure novel “Jedi Dawn.” They later showed up in two non-canon books for kids. And...that’s it. I guess you could say Dejarik, aka the holo-chess game seen in the Milennium Falcon is sort of a video game, but I consider that more an electronic tabletop thing.
