Star Wars Outlaws Patch Enables Cross-Saves, Tweaks Insta-fail Stealth Sections

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours logged across various galaxies and universes, I’ve seen my fair share of game launches – some that soar like the Millennium Falcon and others that struggle to leave hyperspace. Star Wars Outlaws initially seemed to be one of those latter journeys, but Ubisoft’s commitment to improving the experience has been nothing short of impressive.

The game “Star Wars Outlaws” didn’t have the desired start, with both critics and initial sales not meeting Ubisoft’s expectations. However, the developers at Massive Entertainment are still diligently working to refine the gameplay experience. As confirmed by creative director Julian Gerighty, an upcoming update will address some of the game’s challenging stealth sections that often resulted in instant failure, and this long-awaited update has now been released.

Title Update 1.1.2 brings changes to stealth areas and overall game mechanics, including AI detection. This update also introduces cross-progression functionality, allowing players to transfer their progress across platforms via Ubisoft Connect. Other enhancements include performance upgrades on PC, bug fixes for all platforms, resolving an issue preventing a Trophy from being earned on PS5, and numerous other adjustments. For complete details, check out the patch notes provided below.

Star Wars Outlaws is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
