The physical version of Star Wars Outlaws requires an online connection to install

The classic card game Sabacc will finally be playable in Star Wars Outlaws, as revealed by the game’s ESRB rating. Ubisoft and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora developer Massive Entertainment announced that they were working on an open-world Star Wars game back in 2021, but it wasn’t until last June’s Xbox Games showcase that fans learned what it was going to be about. Star Wars Outlaws will put players in the role of Kay Vess, an aspiring outlaw looking to make her mark on the criminal underworld by pulling a massive heist against the rising Zerek Besh organization.

A spokesperson for Ubisoft addressed concerns over Star Wars Outlaws' controversial Jabba the Hutt DLC mission. Fans of a galaxy far, far away have rallied against the publisher for the price point of its Star Wars Outlaws special edition packages, which come with price tags ranging from $109.99 to $129.99. The community was particularly displeased with the reveal of an exclusive DLC mission for Jabba the Hutt, which will only be playable for users who purchased one of the special bundles or the season pass.

Ubisoft's upcoming Star Wars Outlaws will lock an exclusive mission featuring Jabba the Hutt behind the Season Pass. While Star Wars fans were excited about the concept of an open world title set in A Galaxy Far Far Away, the latest information revealed for Outlaws has been controversial. Star Wars Outlaws takes place before Return of the Jedi, and places its players in the role of Kay Vess, an ambitious scoundrel and thief from Cantonica. However, despite being an entirely single-player experience, Ubisoft has designed Star Wars Outlaws as an always-online title, with a Season Pass that will offer players access to exclusive content.

Star Wars Outlaws is set to launch later this year, and beyond offering an open world to explore, it's also going to allow players to step into the shoes of a scoundrel named Kay Vess. Needless to say, it's shaping up to be quite a departure from the lightsaber-swinging action we're used to from the recent Star Wars Jedi games, but the creative director of Outlaws says that the idea of having Jedi at the forefront of the game "didn't even enter the picture."

Content surrounding one of ' most iconic villains may be locked behind a paywall. The open-world game from Ubisoft's Massive Entertainment is set to see a new character, Kay Vess, explore the criminal underworld as she attempts to build her reputation and carry out the biggest heist the Outer Rim has ever seen.

With Star Wars Outlaws, developer Massive Entertainment is looking to deliver the ultimate Star Wars scoundrel fantasy, which, of course, means protagonist Kay Vess (and her adorable companion Nix) will be crossing paths with a number of different factions, the majority of them being criminal syndicates.

Star Wars Outlaws has received an age classification from the Entertainment Software Rating Board. The timing of its ESRB rating's emergence is an encouraging sign for fans, as it indicates that Star Wars Outlaws is on course to release without any delays.

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.

continues a controversial trend that has become more prominent in recent years. Ubisoft recently revealed more about the upcoming AAA title's story, pre-order bonuses, and special editions, with a confirmed release date of August 30, 2024.

Ubisoft's upcoming game is making a major change to one of the publisher's most established tropes and players couldn't be relieved. Ever since the release of back in 2007, the concept of climbing towers and scanning the environment to reveal more areas has been a cliche in many open-world games to such an extent that it's become somewhat of a meme amongst players. Fortunately, the highly-anticipated game set in a galaxy far, far away is taking a different route and ditching the idea completely.

' latest story trailer has provided a greater look at Kay Vess' adventure, and the threats she'll be facing as she attempts to carry out the biggest heist the Outer Rim has ever seen. Along with a look at some of the allies she'll be working alongside — some of whom were already introduced in previous promotional footage — the story trailer introduced the game's main villains, and those who have read some of the recent Marvel comic arcs may recognize some of the names mentioned.

Yesterday, Ubisoft officially announced that its upcoming Star Wars: Outlaws will be released later this year on August 30th. However, if you want to enjoy this open-world adventure, you will be required to be connected to the internet to simply install it, whether you bought the discs or not.
