Star Wars Outlaws

Star Wars Outlaws on PC is a third-person open-world action-adventure from Massive Entertainment, a Ubisoft studio, and Ubisoft. Current Steam, Epic Games Store, and Ubisoft PC listings still use the name Star Wars Outlaws; no verified rebrand or replacement edition supersedes it. You play Kay Vess, a scoundrel moving through the criminal underworld with Nix, her creature companion, and the Trailblazer ship.

A scoundrel's open-world gameplay loop

The core loop combines third-person blaster combat, stealth, exploration, speeder travel, space dogfights, and story missions built around heists and criminal contracts. Kay can infiltrate restricted locations, sabotage security systems, steal valuables, investigate rumors, and decide when a quiet approach is safer than an open firefight.

Kay's blaster has multiple firing modes suited to different targets, while her Adrenaline ability lets her slow the action and mark several enemies for a rapid sequence of shots. Combat is supported by cover, throwable objects, pickup weapons, environmental hazards, and close-range strikes. The game is not a traditional lightsaber adventure, so players should expect blaster-focused action rather than Force powers or Jedi progression.

Nix is more than a story companion. You can use him to distract guards, trigger objects, retrieve items, interrupt enemies, and create openings during stealth encounters. His commands turn many locations into small tactical puzzles, especially when Kay needs to separate a guard from a patrol or disable a device without raising an alarm.

Reputation changes how the underworld treats Kay

The most distinctive system is the relationship between Kay and four criminal syndicates: the Pyke Syndicate, Crimson Dawn, the Hutt Cartel, and the Ashiga Clan. Missions, contracts, dialogue decisions, and other actions can improve or damage Kay's standing with each faction, creating a four-way reputation system rather than a single morality meter.

Reputation affects practical access to the world. A syndicate that trusts Kay can offer better treatment, discounts, restricted-area access, assignments, and faction rewards. A damaged relationship can make its members hostile and complicate movement through territory. The system is not a fully branching role-playing campaign, but it gives ordinary jobs and mission choices a meaningful strategic layer.

Progression is organized around experts rather than a conventional skill tree. Kay meets specialists who teach new abilities after she completes related objectives, giving exploration and side activities a direct connection to ability unlocks. Gear sets, blaster upgrades, speeder improvements, ship equipment, slicing, lockpicking, and Sabacc also provide reasons to investigate settlements and follow optional leads.

Planets, vehicles, and space combat

The open world spans distinct locations including Toshara, Tatooine, Kijimi, and Akiva, with cities, settlements, wilderness, cantinas, syndicate bases, abandoned sites, and Imperial installations. Movement alternates between foot travel, the speeder, and the Trailblazer. The speeder handles fast surface traversal and can be improved with equipment that expands its usefulness during exploration and combat.

The Trailblazer provides a separate space layer. Kay can leave planetary surfaces, travel between regions, fight Imperial forces and other hostile ships, and complete space-oriented activities. Space combat is an accessible action system rather than a deep trading or simulation model, making it a change of pace from the ground game instead of a second full-length campaign structure.

Sabacc is another recurring activity, presented as a playable card game with its own tables, opponents, and rewards. It supports the broader scoundrel fantasy without replacing the main action loop. Players who prefer vehicle-heavy open worlds may also find a useful comparison in third-person sandbox adventures such as Mad Max, where exploration and vehicle upgrades shape the rhythm between combat encounters.

Base game, editions, and paid content

Star Wars Outlaws is a paid single-player game, not a free-to-play title. PC storefronts list Standard, Deluxe, Gold, and Ultimate editions. The higher editions add cosmetic content, a digital art book, or the Season Pass rather than changing the fundamental campaign structure.

The Season Pass includes the additional story packs Wild Card and A Pirate's Fortune, the exclusive Jabba's Gambit mission, and cosmetic bundles. Wild Card centers on a high-stakes Sabacc tournament involving Lando Calrissian, while A Pirate's Fortune sends Kay and Nix into a pirate-focused adventure involving Hondo Ohnaka and the Khepi system.

Standalone cosmetic additions include packs for Kay, Nix, the speeder, and the Trailblazer. The base game remains the relevant purchase for players who want the main open-world story, while the Season Pass is aimed at those who want the extra narrative missions and associated cosmetics.

Who should play Star Wars Outlaws?

Outlaws suits players who want a single-player Star Wars crime adventure rather than a Jedi power fantasy. Its strongest fit is for people who enjoy stealth-action missions, open-world exploration, faction relationships, collectible gear, vehicle travel, and cinematic sci-fi settings with a grounded protagonist.

It is less suitable for players seeking campaign co-op, deep ship simulation, a traditional character-class system, or a combat game built around lightsaber duels. The reputation system adds context to choices, but it does not turn every mission into a radically different narrative branch. Players who prefer a larger Ubisoft role-playing structure can compare the faction choices, exploration, and gear-driven progression with open-world action RPGs such as Assassin's Creed Odyssey, while noting that Outlaws is more focused on stealth, blaster combat, and underworld relationships.

PC features, launcher, and localization

The PC version is available through Ubisoft Connect, the Epic Games Store, and Steam. Steam requires a linked Ubisoft Connect account and lists Denuvo DRM. Ubisoft states that an internet connection is needed for installation and updates, while the single-player game can otherwise be played offline. No separate competitive anti-cheat system is identified in the current Steam metadata.

PC controls include keyboard and mouse as well as controller support, with remappable inputs and separate control settings for Kay, the speeder, and the Trailblazer. Ubisoft also confirms ultrawide, multi-monitor, and 21:9 cinematic display support, alongside extensive visual customization and accessibility options.

Localization includes full audio in English, French, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Japanese. Interface and subtitle support extends to additional languages including Italian, Korean, Polish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese; the exact list can vary slightly by storefront. Players looking for another Ubisoft third-person sandbox with stealth, gadgets, and open-ended urban missions may also consider hacking-focused open-world games such as Watch Dogs Complete Edition, although Outlaws replaces modern city systems with Star Wars syndicates and space travel.
