Star Wars Outlaws is one of the most anticipated upcoming games for fans of the Star Wars franchise, and there’s a lot to look forward to about the scoundrel fantasy.
But we’re still learning about Star Wars Outlaws' setting, and what we can expect from the game prior to its release in 2024. Fortunately, more details are starting to come out regarding the setting, story, and main characters, and the game's narrative director, Navid Khavari, has shed some light on a few elements.
In an interview with Game Informer, Khavari stated that the team behind Star Wars Outlaws “really wanted to deliver something players and fans alike haven’t seen or experienced before” which reinforces the idea of the game being an entirely original scoundrel story rather than resting on existing Star Wars content in order to construct its narrative.
The setting of the game, which falls between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi is described as a “writer’s dream” and a “really strong anchor for the rest of the narrative” by Khavari, suggesting a lot of new ground will be ready to explore, alongside its cast of eclectic characters to work alongside, which coincides with Khavari’s wishes to offer something entirely different to what we’ve seen before from previous Star Wars games and content.
However, despite the title offering the sought-after original experience, Khavari assured Game Informer that authenticity is just as important as presenting these new experiences, and while Star Wars Outlaws will have a number of new characters and locations, players can also expect to discover several cameos from a variety of existing characters throughout their playthrough, but the details on who wasn’t shared.
“For us, it all comes back to authenticity and delivering a story that fits in the Star Wars galaxy,” Khavai states, implying that Kay Vess’ story will coincide with existing Star Wars lore and host a lot of references to relevant characters or events where appropriate. But, more details on how exactly this will apply will be uncovered as we creep closer to the game's release window next year.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's latest patch has completely reworked the game's performance mode on consoles to hit a «solid 60 FPS.»
Yesterday, a new Star Wars Jedi: Survivor patch went live on PC and console, bringing, according to the patch notes,a variety of performance improvements. Unfortunately, on PC, it seems like things are still not the way they should be.
Star Wars Jedi: Surivor patch 7 is out now across PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, with a real focus placed on optimisation for the two console platforms. In particular, there’s an improved performance mode on console that ditches ray-tracing in order to hit 60 FPS.
We had a great time with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor when it arrived earlier this year, but let's be honest, the technical performance wasn't great. The game's performance mode, which targeted 60 frames-per-second at a reduced resolution, was inconsistent, and it even struggled to keep it locked to 30 if you used the quality mode. Today, Respawn Entertainment has just released a new patch that aims to smooth out a lot of these issues.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Patch 7 launched today for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, bringing a handful of impactful changes to the title that will make playing the game an overall smoother experience. While console fixes are linked mostly to game performance, PC players can now benefit from the inclusion of DLSS support.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s seventh update has arrived for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
A new Star Wars Jedi Survivor patch has fixed PC performance issues, as well as reworked the game's entire performance mode on consoles.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor released in a rough state, but Respawn has been slowly chipping away at it over the course of a number of patches. The latest—patch 7—arrived today, and alongside all the tweaky, patch note-y things you'd generally expect, there's one big addition: support for Nvidia DLSS.
Respawn Entertainment is rolling out a big update for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on Tuesday, a patch that takes aim at bugs and performance-related issues. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game can now run at a “solid 60 fps in Performance mode,” according to Respawn and publisher Electronic Arts.
Respawn and EA are rolling out a significant patch for Star Wars: Jedi Survivor. The game, plagued with performance issues at launch, now supports a “solid 60 fps” in performance mode on consoles. In addition, the PC version (which bore the brunt of many of the performance complaints) also received some stability improvements in patch seven.
EA and Respawn Entertainment have released the biggest patch yet for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor across all platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC.
When Star Wars Jedi: Survivor launched earlier this year, the action-adventure sequel was praised widely by critics and audiences for everything from its storytelling and characters to its combat and exploration. On the technical side of things, however, the game was on the receiving end of some criticism, with its performance on consoles being one of several areas that weren’t up to scratch. Developer Respawn Entertainment has, of course, continued to release patches for the game in the wake of its launch to address many of those issues, and the newest patch, patch 7, targets performance on consoles above all else.
