Star Wars Outlaws Update

Star Wars Outlaws has received a significant update in September, addressing key aspects of the game that players have found challenging. The latest patch, titled Update 1.1.2, aims to improve the stealth mechanics, making it more difficult for enemies to detect the protagonist, Kay Vess, during missions. This change addresses feedback about early game stealth missions being overly difficult.

In addition to the stealth adjustments, the update adds cross-progression and cross-save features, enhancing player experience by allowing progress retention across platforms. Performance and stability improvements have also been made, ensuring a more seamless gameplay experience. Despite mixed reviews, Ubisoft remains committed to refining Star Wars Outlaws based on player input.

Star Wars Outlaws September Update Tweaks Stealth, Adds New Features

Update 1.1.2 for Star Wars Outlaws enhances graphical fidelity by optimizing ray reconstruction and frame generation technologies. VRAM usage is improved to address FPS drops during specific scenes. The interface has also seen updates, including a revised UI, HUD, and graphical settings. Quality mode is now the default graphical setting on consoles, with motion blur adjusted for better performance.

NPCs in the game feature new idle animations, adding more liveliness to the game's worlds. Several quest-related bugs have been fixed to ensure a smoother gameplay experience. Despite mixed reviews and lower-than-expected sales, resulting in a dip in Ubisoft’s stock value, Massive Entertainment remains dedicated to ongoing improvements. Future patches aim to address player feedback and are planned ahead of the game's upcoming story DLC.
