Review Star Wars Outlaws (PS5) - Open World Pledge Produces a Superficial Space Outing
Villainous to the end
Star Wars Outlaws has been billed as the first-ever open world game set in the Star Wars universe; a claim that immediately puts developer Massive Entertainment on the back foot. Ignoring the fact Star Wars Galaxies did it first over two decades ago, it opens the game up to an extra layer of scrutiny: is it even open world in...

Star Wars Outlaws News
News Star Wars Outlaws Sequel Reportedly Cancelled, Will Stay in a Galaxy Far, Far Away
There's a light that does go out
A lot of people swear by Star Wars Outlaws these days, but that doesn’t change the fact that the game was a colossal flop upon launch. Embattled Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot recently commented on the catastrophic open world outing, admitting that it failed to meet expectations, and blaming its underperformance on...
News Assassin's Creed Shadows Can't Stop the Ubisoft Rot of Star Wars Outlaws and XDefiant
Publisher reports big losses
Assassin's Creed Shadows may have ended up being a hit for Ubisoft, but the company's financial report for the previous fiscal year shows it wasn't nearly enough to make up for other losses. This was a largely expected outcome amongst many onlookers (ourselves included), but the figures are still rather damning. The...
News Team Up with Hondo in Star Wars Outlaws: A Pirate's Fortune DLC, Arriving Next Month
A Hondo hours of new content
The second story DLC for Star Wars Outlaws is named A Pirate's Fortune, and it's coming to PS5 on 15th May, 2025. A new trailer has been released for this narrative expansion, which features Hondo Ohnaka as an ally as you explore the Khepi system and face off against a band of pirates. While the DLC itself is a paid...
News 2023's Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Outsold Ubisoft's Outlaws in 2024
Not the sales success Ubi was looking for
In a notable development, it appears that in 2024, 2023's Star Wars Jedi: Survivor from Respawn Entertainment moved more units than Ubisoft's 2024 outing, Star Wars Outlaws. It's a surprising statistic, as we would have thought the impetus of the IP itself would have accounted for more copies sold. While...
News Star Wars Outlaws Patches in PS5 Pro PSSR Toggle, Lets You Turn It Off
Just like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
Ubisoft has patched another PSSR toggle into the PS5 Pro version of one of its games: Star Wars Outlaws. Available via update 1.5.0, a new "Upscaler Type" option can be found in the settings that lets PS5 Pro owners switch between PSSR and FSR. The update also makes the three graphics modes from the base PS5...
News Star Wars Outlaws PS5 Does Away with Forced Stealth in Major Update
"Jabba! This is your last chance. Free us, or die"
Star Wars Outlaws certainly had some teething issues at launch, and Ubisoft appears to be addressing them head-on, if perhaps a tad tardy some three months later. Still, Title Update 1.4.0 goes live today, November 21st, on PS5. It will do away with those forced stealth sections during story...
News Star Wars Outlaws Gets Post-Launch Creative Director Switcheroo
"He's all yours, bounty hunter. Reset the chamber for Skywalker"
Released two months ago, Star Wars Outlaws has a new creative director, with Drew Rechner replacing Julian Gerighty in the top job. It's admittedly a pretty unusual move from Ubisoft and details are fairly light; following a soft commercial reception, it appears Rechner will oversee...
News Star Wars Outlaws Slips PS5 Screen Tearing Bug into Latest Patch
Sleight of hand
Ubisoft pushed game update 1.3.0 live for Star Wars Outlaws in recent hours, ostensibly to continue improving the game's stealth mechanics, amongst other things. Unfortunately, a PS5 screen tearing bug also made its way in, with players quickly noticing the telltale "rippling" effect while the game is in motion and navigating menus.
News Stealth Issues Still the Focus of Star Wars Outlaws PS5 Patches
Game update 1.3.0 available to download now
A third PS5 patch focusing on the flawed stealth elements of Star Wars Outlaws has dropped today, with this latest update designed to "give players more flexibility in how they approach situations in addition to tuning enemy AI". Instant fail stealth sections were an issue brought up repeatedly during the...
News Big Star Wars Outlaws PS5 Update Takes Aim at Stealth, Performance
You may fire when ready
Title Update 2 is now available for Star Wars Outlaws, and Ubisoft appears to have begun meaningfully addressing the most common complaint we've seen: how stealth works. That said, it seems there is more drastic work to be done, with Title Update 4 (21st November) specifically focused on deepening stealth and combat...

Preview Star Wars Outlaws Thrives in Its Rewarding Open World
PS5 heavyweight comes together nicely
As part of last month's Summer Game Fest season, Ubisoft allowed press to play Star Wars Outlaws for the first time in a demo made up of three different parts, each designed to justify the game's core pillars. Reactions were quite mixed — unfavourable comparisons to PS Vita game Uncharted: Golden Abyss were...
Preview Star Wars Outlaws on PS5 Has a World of Possibilities, But Is Let Down by a Rough Demo
It's easy mm'kay
Despite the overabundance of Star Wars in the last few years thanks to all of those middle-of-the-road Disney+ shows, there’s always been a bit of a white whale for those old enough to remember the pre-Disney era — that being LucasArts’ cancelled Star Wars 1313. While we have an endless number of games where you play as...

Saw an online gameplay of this and looks interesting so far. No telling how it might turn out in the end but as it is some time away from release it's often useless to advertise such games other than making it known it's progressing.
Speaking of progressing I can certainly see some division mechanics in the game such as the cover based and the gun play style. A different approach to EA star wars
