Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws features a $110 Gold Edition and a $130 Ultimate Edition, and some fans are not happy about what they are getting for those high prices. The more expensive editions of Star Wars Outlaws include premium benefits that have become commonplace in recent years.
Star Wars Outlaws Release Date Could Be Sooner Than Expected

Proof has emerged that the release date for the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws may be much sooner than many gamers are anticipating. First revealed in June 2023, Star Wars Outlaws remains one of the most anticipated games of this year, although concrete news on the title has been hard to come by of late.
The hype for Star Wars Outlaws is immense. Set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, the game promises a return to the gritty Star Wars underworld in a galaxy-wide adventure. Lightsabers and the Force aren't for everyone — some prefer the idea of playing a Star Wars game as a good old-fashioned scoundrel, and that's exactly what Outlaws promises. While it's currently slated for a 2024 release date, Ubisoft has been coy about confirming exactly when players can get their hands on the game. One rumor suggested that Star Wars Outlaws is targeting a Spring release date, and there is now reason to suggest this might be accurate.
As pointed out by Twitter user Jorraptor, Star Wars Outlaws has been rated by a South Korean ratings board. This means that it has been sent out for certification by Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment, which would suggest a release is close for one of the most anticipated games of 2024. Jorraptor compared the time between the rating and release of other similar titles, with some interesting findings. Assassin's Creed Mirage was 80 days between rating and release, while The Division 2 (Massive Entertainment's previous title) was 63 days. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor went 109 days between rating and release, although this was due to an unexpected delay.
With these dates in mind, it's entirely possible that Star Wars Outlaws is preparing for a late May or early June release. Considering the hype for what may go on to become one of the best Star Wars games on the market, this would come as a surprise. The game may be ready, but the lack of a marketing campaign of late would feel like a slightly wasted opportunity unless Ubisoft ramps this up extremely fast. It's rare that there is so little time between a release date and its announcement, but it could result in a nice surprise for gamers.
It feels as though Star Wars games are in a pretty strong place right now. The exclusivity deal that EA held to make Star Wars games has now expired, and the general sentiment from gamers is that the agreement was perhaps not as fruitful as it could have been. Now, with other developers able to work within that universe, there's more potential for amazing titles from a variety of different perspectives. The recent cancelation of Respawn's Star Wars FPS was certainly a gut punch for fans, and hopefully, other great projects can mend the wound in the future.
