Star Wars Outlaws Motion Sickness: Why It Happens & What Helps
Star Wars Outlaws is a third-person open-world game with on-foot play, speeder rides and ship flight. Ubisoft's accessibility list names the controls that matter for motion sickness: screen shake, depth of field, motion blur, chromatic aberration, a field of view that can be set apart for aiming, and a cinematic lens that can be switched off. The main field of view runs from 75 to 115, and a center dot is a HUD option.

Why Star Wars Outlaws can trigger motion sickness
The camera has to follow three kinds of movement: running on foot, riding the speeder and flying the ship. The cinematic lens adds distortion, fringing and vignetting over the picture as well. Ubisoft says that in space it used a horizon to help orient the player back to a comfortable upright direction, and lists motion-sickness considerations in its enemy maneuvers and speed adjustments. The player settings cover the rest.
- Screen shake from explosions and other actions
- Motion blur, chromatic aberration and the cinematic lens laid over the picture
- Speeder rides and ship flight, which move the camera in more ways than on-foot play

| Setting | Where | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|

| Chromatic Aberration | Settings > Graphics > Basic | Off |
| Depth of Field | Settings > Graphics > Basic | Off for a sharper background |
| Film Grain | Settings > Graphics > Basic | Off for a cleaner image |
