A fresh update for Star Wars Outlaws has been released, making stealth missions less annoying.
At first, sneaking around in Outlaws was quite tough, with the game punishing players harshly for mistakes. Now, things are better, and players have more choices to get through these tricky parts without failing right away. The developers, Massive Entertainment, have also made speeder travel smoother by reducing crashes into objects, fixing a bug that sometimes sent Kay Vess flying through the sky unexpectedly. They’re also working on some PC issues, especially after a recent Windows update, but that fix isn’t ready yet. You can find the full details of the patch here.
We really like it when games get better over time with updates.
Other changes include smarter NPCs, more chances to save your progress in dangerous areas, and the difficulty level called “Wanted” now adjusts based on how far you’ve gotten in the game. This is the third big update since the game came out in August. Even though people liked the game, many bugs and hard stealth missions were annoying. Ubisoft’s stock fell a lot after Outlaws didn’t sell as well as expected, and they pushed back their next big game, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, to February 14, 2025.
