Exciting Updates Coming Soon for Star Wars Outlaws

The team behind Star Wars Outlaws is gearing up to roll out a series of updates aimed at enhancing gameplay, optimizing performance, and improving accessibility. While there’s no exact timeline for these updates, the developers are optimistic that they will significantly elevate the player experience.

Since its debut, Star Wars Outlaws has garnered generally positive reviews from critics; however, fan reception has been more mixed, with many considering it to be average. The game, noted as the first true open-world installment in the Star Wars franchise, currently holds a user rating of 5.4/10 on Metacritic. Additionally, reports suggest that it has not met Ubisoft's sales expectations, raising concerns among fans about the publisher's prospects, especially in light of the underwhelming pre-release reception of Assassin's Creed Shadows.

In a bid to address these worries, the official Twitter account for Star Wars Outlaws released a message thanking players for their support and outlining several forthcoming improvements. Among the highlights is the announcement of the game's inaugural story pack, titled Wild Card, set to launch on November 21—coinciding with the game’s release on Steam for PC players.

This Wild Card expansion promises to introduce new contracts available at no additional cost and will challenge players to face Lando Calrissian in an exciting high-stakes Sabbac tournament that they will need to infiltrate.

Future Plans for Star Wars Outlaws

Beyond the Wild Card DLC and the upcoming Steam launch, the developers have a range of additional upgrades planned, though details regarding these improvements and their release dates remain undisclosed. These gameplay enhancements will include adjustments to both combat and stealth mechanics, alongside various unspecified tweaks and refinements aimed at improving optimization and quality-of-life features.

Reactions to the Twitter announcement about the upcoming updates have been mixed among fans, mirroring the game’s overall reception. One particularly contentious point is the focus on the Wild Card expansion; while some players are enthusiastic about the Sabbac minigame, others view it as one of the less enjoyable aspects of the game. Fans are also curious about the specifics of the stealth reworks, with many eager to know when these updates will be implemented.
