There are a few notable changes beyond improved performance and stability that players will happily welcome. These improvements range from AI detection during stealth, to problematic bugs that slow mission progress. Here are the “notable changes” according to the patch notes:
- Tweaked the overall stealth experience by adjusting AI detection, the number of NPCs and their positioning, patrol pathing, camera detection and highlighting environmental opportunities to reduce player friction
- Fixed an issue where players would get stuck in the hyperjump sequence towards Kijimi
- Fixed an issue where the ‘Takeoff’ button prompt wouldn’t be shown after ‘The Wreck’ mission
- Improved the position of the speeder camera when the FOV was increased
- Improved the speeder’s response and reaction when called
- Improved speeder collision with the environment to reduce being knocked off the speeder
- Kerro’s Speakeasy – fixed an issue where the energy barrier was not disabled after successfully slicing the panel on Mirogana
- Fixed an issue where players could not interact with the triangulation stone in Jet Kordo’s quest line on Toshara, and where the holotracker would not spawn in the Trailblazer
Star Wars Outlaws was in pretty rough shape when it launched on August 27 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. In one of its first updates, Ubisoft asked its players to delete their existing files because they would run into game-breaking bugs. This was pretty problematic, as players who purchased the most expensive version of the game for early access were more than likely well into their playthroughs.
Star Wars Outlaws’ launch was so troubled that it essentially forced Ubisoft to delay Assassin’s Creed Shadows into February 2024. Additionally, the developer and publisher is shying away from staggered releases, allowing all players to enjoy the game at the same time.
