Ubisoft’s highly anticipated Star Wars Outlaws game has hit a few bumps in the road with early technical glitches causing frustration for some players. The open-world game, set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, follows the story of a scoundrel navigating through the galaxy’s crime syndicates.
Players have reported issues with game progression, being stuck in certain parts of the game, and problems with saving. Ubisoft has acknowledged the problems and is working on possible fixes to address them.
Creative director Julian Gerighty expressed his disappointment with the early technical issues but remains optimistic about improving the game. He believes that the complexity of the game, with its vast open world and intricate systems, is partly to blame for the glitches.
Despite the technical challenges, reviews of the game have been mixed. Some critics praise the game’s exploration and intergalactic heist adventure, while others point out issues with combat and bugs at launch.
Julian acknowledges the importance of feedback from the passionate Star Wars fanbase and sees it as an opportunity to improve the game further. He credits LucasFilm Games for their guidance in ensuring Outlaws fits within the wider Star Wars universe.
Looking ahead, the team plans to release downloadable content (DLC) in the coming year to enhance the gaming experience. Star Wars Outlaws is set for a wide release on August 30, promising players an immersive journey through the galaxy’s criminal underworld.
