I had read the frame rate is locked at a low rate in VR though. It's an issue with the X-Wing Alliance engine itself. I want to be wrong though, because I would love to play this in VR!

My biggest gripes with Star Wars Squadrons are the poor campaigns, or lack thereof, and ships tuned for competitive multiplayer only.

This does use the Alliance ships, which are slightly more tuned towards multiplayer than the original Tie Fighter models. Specifically, shielded fighters suffer a bit.

Editing to add, I just saw your user name, and at first assumed you created it just to reply here.

Haha, just a fan. :)

they fixed this!!! This was true last year when it first came out. Im not sure since when but as of this week, I was able to play 120hz VR mode on my RTX 3090. the VR mode in this game is so immersive! it makes up for the lack of gameplay mechanics, it kind becomes just a beautiful arcade space shooter, which is ok.

This is the best news! I also have a 3090, so I'll have to try it out tomorrow!

I believe the above poster is talking about Squadrons, for what it’s worth.
