On TV and in films and games, Star Wars has the same problem.
]]>A recent Windows 11 update has seemingly made a number of Ubisoft games unplayable, including Star Wars Outlaws.
]]>It wouldn’t be Black Friday without some of the best Star Wars deals of the year coming around, would it? Well, they’ve already started rolling in, and you can now pick up Star Wars Outlaws Limited Edition for just $49.99 from Amazon on PS5 and Xbox
]]>I've been involved in more speeder crashes that were definitely my fault than I can count during my time with Star Wars Outlaws, but the good news is that the game's latest patch sounds like it'll stop me being such a danger to the other road users of the galaxy. It's just a little bit of a shame my version of Kay Vess is already doomed to spend ages on the holo-phone when her renewal's due.
]]>Ubisoft has revealed that Star Wars Outlaws undeperformed its expectations sales-wise, but it does have a plan in place for the next few months that aims to attract more players to the game. As well as putting a release date on Outlaws' first bit of DLC and a Steam release for it, there are "mutiple title updates" being worked on.
]]>The bustling cantinas and shady back alleys of Star Wars Outlaws' gorgeously detailed (but never overwhelming) cities, towns, and small villages feel refreshing. Is it because they're deeply interactive? Nope, not at all. In fact, they're rather static sets when it comes to possible interactions. The secret sauce is that they truly feel lived-in and straight out of a galaxy far, far away.
]]>The creative director of Star Wars Outlaws has seen your complaints about some of the early stealth missions, and promises some changes are coming.
]]>Massive Entertainment has decided to offer up its stance on the 'who shot first, Han or Greedo' debate in Star Wars Outlaws and has quickly proven itself wrong.
]]>There's now a premium, extended version of this podcast that you can get as a VG247 paid subscriber - check out our Support Us page for more info. Doing so helps ensure that we can keep making the show! But don't worry if that's not for you, the main show will always be free.
]]>Kessel Sabbacc is Star Wars' answer to poker, and if you (literally) play your hand right, it can mean some quick Credits for Kay in Star Wars Outlaws. However, only one player can take home the pot, and everyone else at the table is just as eager to win as Kay — and also has the double advantage of being an AI-controlled player who didn't just learn the rules two minutes ago.
]]>"Slicing" is Star Wars lingo for hacking, and in Star Wars Outlaws, our hero Kay Vess is the kind of scoundrel who spends a lot of time merrily trying to get her hands on other peoples' property which — you guessed it — is often protected by electronic terminals that are perfect targets for a bit of slicing.
]]>During an early story beat in Star Wars Outlaws, you'll find yourself in possession of Gorak's Ring, which is basically what it sounds like: a valuable piece of jewellery belonging to Gorak, leader of the Pykes faction.
]]>Star Wars fans already know all about Credits: the multi-purpose, more or less universally accepted currency of the Galaxy Far, Far Away. It's already a fairly video game-y concept, so you won't be surprised to learn that Star Wars Outlaws adopts the concept wholesale, which means that Kay needs a steady supply of Credits in order to make purchases and perform upgrades on her equipment.
]]>Star Wars Outlaws doesn't feature the kind of skill tree you might have been expecting from Ubisoft's take on the franchise, but that's not to say that Kay Vess doesn't learn a few new tricks over the course of her open-world adventure through the Outer Rim.
]]>Star Wars Outlaws comes out properly today, following an early access period that kicked off earlier this week for folks who’d invested in the special editions of the game. Massive Entertainment’s commemorated the occasion by putting out a hotfix for PC designed to help make your intergalactic adventure run a bit more smoothly.
]]>Well, you've read the headline. Have you been affected by the early access patch issue that led some PS5 Star Wars Outlaws players to end up being forced to start new playthroughs or rish getting stuck in space? If so, you might now have an email from Ubisoft offering you some compensation that...er...it's not nothing.
]]>While it's set for full release on August 30, the early access period for Star Wars Outlaws is already underway, though in the cases of some PS5 players, it looks like that's not proving to be quite as much of a head start as they'd expected. This is thanks to issues that are seeing folks get stuck in space, and have to start a new save in order to proceed.
]]>Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws is finally out later this week, but the reviews are already in for the Red Dead Redemption-esque game, leaving just one question: how is it? Well, it depends on who you ask, as while most reviews are generally favourable, it's sitting pretty much all over the spectrum of review scores.
]]>Sabacc cards on the table first, right: Star Wars Outlaws won’t win many Game of the Year awards. There are a lot of reasons for this, not least because there have been other major releases this year which have been bolder, better marketed, or which have advanced the medium in some exciting way. Other major releases where the enemy AI isn't comically thick. Add to that the general drag factor of the Ubisoft Open World Malaise we all have to varying degrees, and its gong prospects seem about as convincing as Anakin and Padme’s chemistry. But you absolutely shouldn’t care about that, because it slaps.
]]>Ubisoft has revealed the full rundown of what you can expect from Star Wars Outlaws post-launch season pass content, with two story focused DLC packs set to feature fan favourite chracters now pencilled in for later this year and early next.
]]>Are you physically terrified of the idea that a game might tell you what to do? Or, rather, that a game might signpost the ideal path to an objective for you by making ladders and ledges look a bit like they've just been paid a visit by someone who's dunked themselves in custard? Good news, then. Star Wars Outlaws has a special mode aimed right at you.
]]>I’m almost certain that I pitched Star Wars Outlaws to my mate Manky Kev when we were about 14. “All the Star Wars games are about Jedis or fighter pilots, the most boring bastards in the whole saga”, I definitely said, with the eloquence of a me three times my age. “You want a game where you get to be a baddie, but a good baddie, not a Sith, and it’s open world like GTA. And you’re Han Solo but before he started hanging around with Jedis and fighter pilots.”
]]>It looks to have taken a lot longer than we all might have initially expected, but there's finally a Starfield mod that adds Star Wars' Mos Eisley Cantina to the game as a fully-fledged location you can hang out in between those new-ish bounty missions.
]]>Star Wars Outlaws is looking to be an exciting new addition to Ubisoft and Massive's catalogue, but according to creative director Julian Gerighty, its existence stemmed from a single conversation at E3 2018.
]]>We've just gotten a fresh look at Star Wars Outlaws ahead of its arrival of August 30, via some more gameplay shown during tonight's Ubisoft Forward showcase.
]]>At Summer Game Fest 2024, I was able to sit down and play Star Wars Outlaws. In our 90-minute session with the game, I snuck through gang hideouts, tip-toed across a derelict ship in search for scraps, and darted through orbiting debris in daring space combat. Star War's Outlaw's Corellian hound-eat-hound universe is rich with character, deadly fun in short bursts, and (pending a few massive question marks) is frankly one of my most anticipated games this year.
]]>Hello there. It's still just about that time of year when all of the showcases descend upon us. Following Summer Game Fest, IGN Live, and the Xbox Games Showcase, Ubisoft Forward is next up on the docket, and you can watch today's stream of it right here.
]]>Star Wars: Outlaws made a surprise appearance at Summer Game Fest this evening. Scheduled to release on August 30, 2024, Geoff Keighley announced a brief teaser for the game, with an extended look to come during the Ubisoft Forward on Monday, June 10 at 9PM CEST.
]]>No Rest for the Wicked, the unlikely next game from Ori series creator Moon Studios, is one day away from release. As we approach the big day, the developer has been revealing a few final details about the game, alongside dropping the launch trailer.
]]>Ubisoft has announced the release date for Star Wars Outlaws, the upcoming open-world game from Massive Entertainment.
]]>A Disney Parks blog post has possibly given us a more precise release window for Star Wars Outlaws, though the post has since been changed.
]]>The new collector's edition of Avatar: The Way of Water in 4K comes with plenty of deleted and extended scenes, but one in particular stands out.
]]>If you’re hoping to scythe through the main story of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora before Christmas, you’ll need to put about 20 hours aside.
]]>Modern triple-A open-world games rarely make your jaw drop by using only vibes and putting aside all the fireworks. But Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora manages to do exactly that, every few minutes. It’s a familiar journey that lacks sharp edges, sure, but it’s also a game that knows what it wants to be and trusts the source material.
]]>Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has positioned itself quite nicely in this hellish year for video game releases. While Baldur's Gate 3 is digging up trees, the Dead Space Remake is dumping oil in the water and Resident Evil 4 is pouring concrete on flowers, Avatar is perched over in December away from the madness. As such, it's not unreasonable to look at it as a nice year-ender. A Christmas present for a loved one, or an avenue for fun over the holidays. But how well does it actually play?
]]>Sony hosted its latest State of Play earlier this evening, and it focused on updates for previously announced games coming to PlayStation.
]]>Star Wars Outlaws will let you take on some work from the one and only Jabba the Hutt, but that doesn't mean you have to stay on his side.
]]>It seems like no matter how massive video game worlds get, developers continue to find ways to make them even larger. But the ways in which that is achieved vary from one game to another.
]]>Yesterday's Xbox Game Showcase saw the reveal of that Star Wars title Ubisoft has been working on: Star Wars Outlaws. Today’s Ubisoft Forward has given us an even closer look at the game, which releases in 2024.
]]>At a behind-closed-doors presentation at Summer Games Fest, Ubisoft showed a group of journalists the first-ever look at Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Announced back in 2017, the first-person action-adventure game was supposed to release in 2022 initially (probably originally aimed at launching around the same time as James Cameron's Avatar: The Way of Water), but it was pushed to 2023. Specifically, December 7, 2023. The delay was worth it, from what we’ve seen so far; the game is gorgeous and interesting and really evokes the fantasy/sci-fi feel of Pandora – even if the core formula at the heart of the game is, basically, just a Far Cry rip-off.
]]>Today’s Ubisoft Forward showcase is looking pretty packed, and the first game to be shown off is Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Better yet, it now actually has a release date of December 7!
]]>Ubisoft Forward has returned for 2023, and will be live-streaming reveals and updates on its upcoming games on June 12.
]]>A new trailer for Star Wars Outlaws was shown off at the Xbox Games Showcase. It's coming to the Xbox Series X/S in 2024, with gameplay set to be shown off during the Ubisoft event tomorrow.
