Evaluation
Trials on Tatooine is a short, self-contained Star Wars VR demo experience released on July 18, 2016. The store description explicitly describes it as a "virtual reality experiment" and a "demo experience," and the short description reinforces this framing. The developer shipped one small patch on August 5, 2016 (version 1.1), which added a controller hotkey. That is the only developer communication on record, and there has been no activity since August 5, 2016. ILMxLAB never announced any additional content, expansions, or follow-up updates. Given the product was positioned as a demo/experiment from launch and has seen no developer activity in nearly a decade, the game launched as a complete, finite experience and has remained so.
Evidence
Store description explicitly frames the product as a 'virtual reality experiment' and a short, self-contained experience set on Tatooine — not a game with ongoing content plans.
Short description calls it a 'Star Wars virtual reality demo experience,' reinforcing that this is a finite, demo-scale product.

Usage Notes

Trials on Tatooine approaches photo-realistic quality and requires a powerful computer. The quality setting on the left of the introduction screen should default to the correct setting for your system. If you drop frames try setting the quality knob one lower. In general, a minimum spec computer will run on the lowest setting while a fast computer with an Nvidia Titan X GPU will run on the highest setting. Trials on Tatooine also supports SLI and will automatically render on two GPU’s if available.
