How Star Wars Outlaws is trying to tackle one of the features I wanted in Starfield: a transition from the open world to space flight

Star Wars Outlaws: The Trailblazer ship flies towards a distant city on the planet of Akiva.

Star Wars Outlaws is set to bring us a seamless open-world adventure that will not only let us explore planets but also fly through space. At the studio in Malmo, Sweden, technical director Stephen Hawes tells GamesRadar+ just how the transition between space flight and planetary surfaces works. 

Despite faster loading times being available thanks to the advancements of the latest hardware, pulling off a "seamless" open world is no easy feat. But as we were shown during our time at the studio, when you fly from an orbital region in space to a planet, you'll go through clouds and still maintain control on a fixed path before a landing sequence begins.
