Why Star Wars Outlaws is a Must-Play Right Now

Star Wars Outlaws had a shaky start when it launched back in August. The game not only received a lukewarm reception from critics, but it also suffered from numerous technical hiccups. Players faced everything from minor visual glitches to bugs that could completely ruin the gaming experience. One particularly notorious glitch required some PS5 users to erase their save files entirely, forcing them to start their adventure from scratch.

However, the game’s journey didn’t end there. Ubisoft has been diligently working on improvements, taking player feedback to heart and rolling out updates that have steadily enhanced the overall experience. But none of those previous patches can compare to the sweeping changes brought by the latest Title Update, which addresses some of the most significant issues players have been grumbling about.

### Star Wars Outlaws’ Latest Update Brings Big Improvements

#### Significant Changes to Stealth with Update 1.4.0

The 1.4.0 Title Update for Star Wars Outlaws introduces a host of changes, particularly impacting the game’s contentious stealth mechanics. Thanks to this update, players won’t face instant mission fails if they’re spotted during stealth sequences. Additionally, stealth mode isn’t mandatory when exploring areas controlled by syndicates now.

These changes come alongside a revamped detection system. Players now receive notifications when an enemy is on the verge of detecting them. Moreover, they’ll get visual cues if a takedown attempt might alert nearby enemies. This update also includes adjustments like removing the weird quirk where whistling would attract just a single guard.

#### Strategic Combat Gets a Boost

The latest Title Update also brings enhancements to combat within Star Wars Outlaws. Enemies now have weak points, rewarding players who take the time to aim at and shoot those spots with specialized death animations. Kay’s blaster has been tuned for better responsiveness with adjusted recoil and spread, encouraging more accurate aiming. Plus, headshots are now more rewarding with increased damage.

The AI of enemies has seen a marked improvement as well. They’ll now employ cover more tactically during battles, and an explosion going off nearby will cause them to stagger, adding a layer of realism and strategy to fights.

#### Visual Enhancements Make a Difference

One of the standout issues at Star Wars Outlaws’ launch was its sometimes unpolished visuals, especially noticeable during in-game dialogue. Update 1.4.0 aims to rectify this with the introduction of new facial animations for dialogue and enhanced visual fidelity in cutscenes.

### Dive into Star Wars Outlaws’ First Story DLC

If all these updates haven’t convinced fans to give Star Wars Outlaws another shot, the introduction of its first story DLC just might. Titled ‘Wild Card,’ this expansion features Kay Vess partnering with the legendary Lando Calrissian for an intense Sabacc tournament with high stakes.

Star Wars Outlaws presents the first-ever open-world Star Wars experience, inviting players to explore diverse planets ranging from bustling cities to wide open landscapes. As Kay Vess, players will navigate the galaxy’s underworld, seeking freedom and carving out a new life. It’s all about playing smart—fight when necessary, steal when you can, and use wit to outmaneuver crime syndicates and become one of the galaxy’s most wanted.

With these updates, Ubisoft seems committed to making Star Wars Outlaws the immersive Star Wars journey fans hoped for, continually refining gameplay and adding new content to keep players engaged.
