Star Wars Outlaws Update 1.5 Live, Here’s What It Does

As a seasoned space explorer who’s navigated through countless galaxies and encountered more alien species than I can count, I must say that this list of updates for Star Wars: Hunters leaves me quite impressed! It seems like the developers have left no stone unturned in their quest to deliver an immersive and bug-free experience.

The latest Star Wars Outlaws update (version 1.5.0) is now active on PC, PS5, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. This is the fifth update for the 2024 Star Wars game, according to Ubisoft. It brings numerous performance enhancements and modifications. Furthermore, the Frame Generation and DLSS settings have also been revised.

On PlayStation 5, the latest Star Wars Outlaws update requires around 6.7 GB storage, while its counterpart on Xbox Series X|S needs approximately 7.1 GB. It’s puzzling as to why these file sizes differ between the platforms. The same inconsistency is observed for the update on Ubisoft Connect (6.3 GB) and Steam (7.5 GB).

For those eager to learn more details about the update, feel free to explore the comprehensive and authentic patch notes provided.
