First Star Wars Outlaws Update Makes Stealth Missions Easier, Patch Notes Revealed

As a dedicated fan who has spent countless hours immersed in the vast Ubisoft universe, I must say that the latest update for Star Wars Outlaws is music to my ears! The focus on improving stealth mechanics is a game-changer, and it’s clear that Massive Entertainment has been listening to the community.

In a little over a week since its launch, Star Wars Outlaws has received its initial title update, and within the patch notes, Massive Entertainment from Ubisoft tackled one of the major topics of discussion: stealth. Stealth is integral to Star Wars Outlaws, much like it is in other Ubisoft games such as Far Cry and Assassin’s Creed series. However, some players of Star Wars Outlaws felt that the character Kay struggled to maneuver certain situations successfully, despite careful play.

Gladly, it seems Massive Entertainment has heard the gamer community loud and clear about making stealth more manageable in Star Wars Outlaws. The recent update focuses on refining and enhancing some tricky stealth scenarios, especially those involving unexpected roll-and-hide maneuvers that didn’t always go as planned while staying under the radar.

If you own “Star Wars Outlaws” on multiple gaming platforms, you’ll be thrilled to know that cross-progression is now available thanks to Ubisoft Connect. This feature, along with other updates, are detailed in the patch notes provided below. If you’re still undecided about playing it, you can read our comprehensive review of “Star Wars Outlaws” here for more information.
