Microsoft have "applied a compatibility hold" to – i.e., blocked the installation of – a new Windows 11 update that’s causing havoc with certain Ubisoft games. Star Wars Outlaws, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora are among the weirdly publisher-specific victims of Windows 11 version 24H2, which by Microsoft’s admission (well spotted, Bleeping Computer) is causing crashes and crap performance in the affected games. Even after, in Outlaws’ case, Ubisoft responded to the complaints with their own patch.
]]>Star Wars Outlaws' stealth has been much debated, though not hotly. Some people think it's rubbish, some others think it's basically fine. Ubisoft themselves seem to think it's one of the key issues with the game, with the creative director previously saying the forced stealth sections are "incredibly punishing".
Now there's a new patch, apparently Outlaws' biggest yet, and stealth and combat are firmly in the crosshairs. The AI and player detection has changed; you can now choose combat in areas where it was previously not allowed; and enemies have had weak points added, for those who wish to cause massive damage.
]]>The AssCreed faithful have waited a thousand years for a sequel set in feudal Japan, birthplace of ninjas and samurai. Woe unto ye dreamers of Ubisoft takes on Tenchu, for you must carry that candle for a little longer. Assassin's Creed Shadows has been delayed till next year. It was due to launch on 12th November 2024 - now, it will release on 14th February 2025.
]]>Looking for the best syndicate in Star Wars Outlaws? Star Wars Outlaws has a total of four syndicates that rule their respective territories across the galaxy. These are Crimson Dawn, the Pykes, the Ashiga Clan and the Hutt Cartel.
During your playthrough of Star Wars Outlaws you'll encounter each syndicate and will perform jobs for them to earn reputation. The better your reputation with a syndicate, the more perks you'll have with them like discounted merchant prices, fast travel points and free access to their bases. There is also a reward chart for each syndicate which will give you prizes for each significant reputation increase.
If you're wondering which of them is the best syndicate to join first, we have you covered along with our picks for the best syndicate overall and mid-game onwards. Below we've detailed each syndicate, the perks they offer and the pros and cons of prioritising them first.
]]>Wondering if you should keep the pearl in Star Wars Outlaws? Choosing who to give the pearl to in Star Wars Outlaws is a choice you'll face after completing the main Safecracker quest on Kijimi and the subsequent 'Broker' questline for Danka.
Essentially, Danka will ask Kay to help her fulfil a contract for the Ashiga Clan. Danka has brokered the sale of a 'Bivalve', a clam filled with precious pearls. This quest will involve multiple clans clamouring for a piece of the sale and Kay must decide who to give one of the clams pearls to in the process (or decide to keep it for herself and sell it for a tidy profit).
If you're wondering if you should keep the pearl or which clan to give it to for the best outcomes, we have all Broker quest choices below as well as a step-by-step of the quest itself.
]]>Looking for the BT-009S Fast Shot Trigger in Star Wars Outlaws? The BT-009S Fast Shot Trigger is a unique Blaster upgrade part in Star Wars Outlaws needed to completely max out the Light Plasma branch.
Once unlocked, it allows Kay to increase the damage dealt with each shot of the Plasma Blaster setting. Although the other materials needed for the upgrade are common enough, the BT-009S Fast Shot Trigger is a unique item in the game. Read below for a full walkthrough detailing how to get the BT-009S Fast Shot Trigger in Star Wars Outlaws.
]]>Star Wars Outlaws' next patch aims to tone down some of the action game’s “incredibly punishing” insta-fail stealth sections, alongside adding tweaks for “narrative context” at other points in the story. That’s according to creative director Julian Gerighty, who recently spoke to GamesRadar+ about what players should expect in the next update, coming “maybe in 10 days.”
]]>Looking for Jet Kordo's Legacy in Star Wars Outlaws? After completing 'The Wreck' main quest in Star Wars Outlaws, ND-5 will give Kay a Holotracker containing a treasure map of sorts that leads to a legendary smuggler's score.
Without map markers to help you, it can be easy to get lost straight away when trying to track down Jet Kordo's Legacy. Luckily, we have the treasure location listed below along with all the steps you need to take to complete this quest.
]]>Wondering how to win Fathier Races in Star Wars Outlaws? Fathier Races are one of many mini-games in Star Wars Outlaws that can earn you a nice supply of Credits. You can especially rely on Fathier Races if you come across tips for 'Fixed Races'.
These tips give out information on who the next winning Fathier will be, ensuring that you can reliably bet big and win big. Below, we'll go through the rules of Fathier Racing, explain how it works, and - most importantly - where you can get Fathier tips to cheat your way to more Credits.

]]>Wondering how to get into Kaslo's Parlor in Star Wars Outlaws? Upon completing the 'False Flag' main questline and returning to Mirogana City, Danka will contact Kay about a high-rollers table of Sabacc.
If you have yet to play the delightful card game in Star Wars Outlaws, now is the perfect time to try it out and make a few Credits in the process. As part of the 'High-Stakes Showdown' quest, you'll need to locate Kaslo's Parlor - where the high-rollers are meeting for a game.
Below we've gone through the Kaslo's Parlor location in Star Wars Outlaws as well as what to do once you get there.
]]>Wondering if you should sell, give or keep Gorak's Ring in Star Wars Outlaws? Gorak's Ring is an item Nix can steal pretty early on in Star Wars Outlaws. Although you can sell it straight away, upon closer inspection, Gorak's Ring has an item description that reads: 'could have some use later'.
If you're worried about selling a potential quest item, we have all outcomes for keeping, selling and returning Gorak's Ring listed below.
]]>Looking for a list of Star Wars Outlaws tips and tricks? If it's your first time journeying with Nix and Kay Vess in Star Wars Outlaws, we have a list of top tips to help you get started.

You'll be tasked with finding a way into Gorak's base - the head of the Pyke syndicate on Toshara. The problem is - you won't be able to just walk right into their region until you have a 'good' reputation with them. Luckily for you, there is a secret way into the base.
Join us for a full walkthrough of Gorak's base, including the best route to take to avoid getting caught.
]]>Looking to complete the Counterfeit Credits quest in Star Wars Outlaws? As you explore the different syndicate regions in Star Wars Outlaws, you may come across the 'Counterfeit Credits' intel.
A Pyke member within the Pyke Cardroom in Mirogana City will task you with finding the source of an influx of Counterfeit Credits. With the fear of imperial backlash, finding the source will boost your reputation with the Pyke gang.
Alternatively, you can give the information you learned to an opposing gang. For a full walkthrough of the 'Counterfeit Credits' quest, see below. We've also included all rewards and the best outcomes for the quest, depending on who you give the information to.
]]>Looking for the Smoke Bomb Compressor in Star Wars Outlaws? The Smoke Bomb Compressor is a unique part that can only be acquired in one region in Star Wars Outlaws and is needed to unlock the 'Smoke Bomb' Mechanic skill.
As the name would suggest this skill allows Kay to craft Smoke Bombs, a fantastic tool that can help you stealth your way into Imperial Outposts with greater success. The Smoke Bomb Compressor is located in a particularly windy region of Toshara and you'll need to get past several puzzles to obtain it. Join us as we go through a full walkthrough below on getting the Smoke Bomb Compressor in Star Wars Outlaws.
]]>Looking for all syndicate vaults in Star Wars Outlaws? The power struggle between the four major syndicates in Star Wars Outlaws is a major theme of the game and an opportunity for profit too.
Each major syndicate has a vault on planets where they have a strong presence. Within these vaults are usually a hefty sum of 5,000 Credits as well as various Speeder skins and other goodies to show your pride for your favourite faction. The vault locations are usually hidden within syndicate territories and can be tricky to get to. Below, we've gathered all the syndicate vault locations and keycards in Star Wars Outlaws.
]]>Looking for the best skills in Star Wars Outlaws? As with other Ubisoft games, Star Wars Outlaws offers a host of skills to unlock as you progress through the game. These skills vary from slicing (hacking) to Speeder skills for traversal, gunslinging and more.
These skills are divided between different 'Experts'. Individuals you must track down across the galaxy and convince to teach you. Below, we've gathered a list of the best skills we've encountered so far and a rundown of how to unlock them for yourself.
]]>Wondering when you unlock space travel in Star Wars Outlaws? Although this may sound like a no-brainer, Star Wars Outlaws makes players wait a long time before they can explore space and even longer before they can explore distant star systems and new planets with a hyperdrive.
Below, we'll talk you through exactly where and when you unlock space travel in Star Wars Outlaws and what to do once you have the Trailblazer in fighting shape.
]]>When we talk about a game having a sense of place, it’s often about how adroitly it covers up the necessary falsehoods of a world contrived to accommodate the player character. It’s the good kind of lie. One with purpose, like Lucas smearing vaseline over the camera lens to cover up the landspeeder’s wheels. Star Wars Outlaws, then, is a strange case. Because while its planets and cities do feel ersatz as living places, they’re kind of incredible as film sets. That’s your job here. This is where the game is. You don’t play it so much as you perform your role in a series of loving, enthusiastic callbacks. That’s a star war. This is a star war. Oh, hey, I know that! That’s one of my favourite star warses.
]]>Looking for the best Trailblazer upgrades in Star Wars Outlaws? The Trailblazer is Kay Vess's trusty ship, navigating her across the galaxy in Star Wars Outlaws. Although, it requires a fair few upgrades before it's in fighting shape.
If you've just unlocked the upgrade menu and are a bit lost or you're wondering how to even access the upgrades, we have you covered. Below is an explainer of how to unlock Trailblazer upgrades along with a list of the best upgrades to prioritise first in your playthrough.
]]>Looking to make money fast in Star Wars Outlaws? Star Wars Outlaws is naturally, about becoming a number one Outlaw. Not only will you balance your reputation amongst the four key syndicates, but you'll also steal from them...frequently.
There are many ways to earn Credits in Star Wars Outlaws, most of them nefarious. Below we've gathered all the biggest ways to earn money fast in the game and which methods are really worth your time.
]]>Looking for access to the black market in Star Wars Outlaws? As you explore the first major city in Star Wars Outlaws - Mirogana on Toshara - you may encounter a shady individual selling black market items.
The only issue is, he won't sell to you unless you have the password. To find out the black market password and gain entry to the shop vendor, see our instructions below.
]]>Looking for a Slicing Kit in Star Wars Outlaws? Slicing is Star Wars Outlaws's version of hacking and is usually helpful for getting past energy barriers and sampling rare loot.
Although you start the game with the ability to Slice, you may notice that some barriers have the 'requires Slicing Kit' message. If you're wondering where to get a Slicing Kit and how to get into locked places like Kerro's Speakeasy in Mirogana, we have all the info below.
]]>Looking for the best Speeder upgrades in Star Wars Outlaws? With several new planets to explore, the best way to travel in Star Wars Outlaws is by Speeder. The Speeder you first get via the main questline can be a bit tough to control at first, however, so you'll need to know what the best Speeder upgrades are and how to get them.
Below we've gathered a list of the best Speeder upgrades to prioritise first along with a rundown of how to actually upgrade it in the game.
]]>Looking for all Star Wars Outlaws Expert locations? There are a total of 9 Experts in Star Wars Outlaws who are special individuals that can teach Kay Vess new skills or improve existing ones like 'Slicing' (hacking into terminals) using blasters, upgrading the Speeder and more.
To locate these Experts (accessible via the 'Abilities' tab in the main menu), you'll need to pick up hints and gather intel from various sources. If you're eager to upgrade Kay's skills as quickly as possible we have listed all the Star Wars Outlaws Expert locations below, plus a full rundown of how to recruit them and all their skill abilities.
]]>Looking for the Star Wars Outlaws release time? Star Wars Outlaws is set between the Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi films and features the story of Kay Vess, a criminal who must obtain favour between three battling underworld syndicates.
If this sounds appealing to you, you'll need to know the Star Wars Outlaws release time and date to prepare ahead of time. Below we have both the global release time and the early access release time for those who have pre-ordered either the Gold or Ultimate editions of the game.
]]>Looking for the minimum and recommended PC requirements for Star Wars Outlaws? Star Wars Outlaws is set to launch on 30th August and promises to put players into the rogueish boots of Kay Vess, an outlaw within the Star Wars universe, joined by faithful furry companion Nix and the enforcer droid ND-5.
If you're gung-ho to try the new adventure for yourself and settle contracts with your favourite crimelords in the galaxy, you'll need to know if your PC can handle the game smoothly. Below, we have both the minimum and recommended system requirements to play Star Wars Outlaws on PC as well as more information on the PC version of the game and what it includes.
]]>Star Wars Outlaws is out relatively soon and looks relatively exciting, if you're into Ubisoft open worlds and pseudo-Uncharted mechanics with pewpews and dribbly aliens. And if you're excited, prepare to get more excited-er - or more exhausted-er - as Ubi have just unveiled Outlaws' DLC plans for season pass holders. Those DLCs will let you meet "notorious gambler" Lando Calrissian and "veteran pirate" Hondo Ohnaka, who I am definitely familiar with.
]]>The open world action game Star Wars Outlaws is coming out next month and developer Massive Entertainment have already shown off some of the speeder biking and laser-trading in various trailers. But recently they've spoken a little more about the player's scummy travels across the galaxy, including how big some of the explorable planets will be, and what happens when you piss off the Hutts. In short, you're going to have a price on your head. Makes sense.
]]>I've been trying to figure out what "scoundrelly" means in a videogame context. Whatever it means, Han Solo homage Star Wars Outlaws ain't it. Here are some basically non-scoundrelly, very Ubisofty things I did during my 60 minutes with Massive Entertainment's open world adaptation at Summer Game Fest this week: climbed around rectangular arrangements of yellow handholds. Shot at baddies over rectangular cover layouts. Collected 7/10 pieces of scrap with some Star Wars flavour text that unlocked an item recipe of some kind. Deployed my chibi Chewbacca sidekick Nix to distract Imperials with cute wiggles and belly boops so I could sneak behind them. Got discovered sneaking behind them and murdered them all before one could run to a terminal and summon reinforcements. OK, maybe that last one is getting there.
]]>Star Wars: Outlaws isn't just an open world retread of existing Star Wars locations, like Tatooine. It contains a whole new moon of developer Massive Entertainment's creation - Toshara, which is home to the Pyke criminal gang and visually defined by huge deposits of crystalline orange material and cities hacked out of mountains. What's it like adding a whole bloody world to Star Wars? Here are some quick thoughts from Massive Entertainment's creative director Julian Gerighty.
]]>Following a mild-to-moderate outcry, Ubisoft have clarified that queasy worm gangster Jabba The Hutt isn't, in fact, a Star Wars Outlaws special edition or season pass exclusive. The apparently much-beloved star slug will appear in every edition of the game, but if you scrape together the credits for the Gold or Ultimate Editions, you'll get access to a Jabba's Gambit mission as part of the game's season pass.
It's a timely clarification, because I've just checked on Xitter and yes, #Jabbagate has been trending... in reference to unflattering photos of Donald Trump in 2016. And also, Steven Gerrard in 2020. And... Wrestlemania in 2017? Jabba is quite the meme these days, it seems.
]]>Ubisoft Massive's open world action-adventure Star Wars Outlaws will release on 30th August 2024, according to a new story trailer which introduces us properly to "emerging scoundrel" Kay Vess, aka Hannah Solo. If you haven't had the pleasure, Kay is a budding crook on the run from her underworld boss, a journey that sees her tangling with several other Star Wars crime syndicates on various planets. It really feels like they're keeping a lot of the headline Star Wars stuff at a respectful distance for this one: yes, Jabba the Hutt makes an appearance, but there's nary a whiff of The Force, Jedi or Sith in the trailer and not once does anybody build a Death Star.
]]>Want to know more about Star Wars Outlaws, the first open world Star Wars game? A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, many people dreamed about one day playing an open world video game set in George Lucas' world of space wizards. Ubisoft and developer Massive Entertainment are finally making this dream a reality with Star Wars Outlaws, though they're leaving the wizards out, since the upcoming game puts players in the role of a lovable Han Solo-style rogue rather than a Jedi.
]]>In a financial report released today, Ubisoft said they intend to release Star Wars Outlaws in 2024. That was already expected. More interesting is that Assassin's Creed Codename Red, the stab 'em up set in feudal Japan, is also due to launch in the "fiscal year 2025". That's also known as "before March 2025", for all you non-CEOs.
]]>Happy New Year, folks! Have you recovered from the all the 100+ hour RPGs that came out last year? Well, I have good news and bad news for you. The good news is that everyone seems to be taking a bit of a breather in 2024, because (at time of writing at least) the official "big'uns" calendar is looking remarkably slim at the moment. There are still some heavy-hitters coming our way this year, such as Avowed, Star Wars Outlaws and Path Of Exile 2, but 2024 looks like another year where it will be the smaller, independent games that shine the brightest. They certainly make up the bulk of our most anticipated games list for 2024, which the RPS Treehouse has been feverishly putting together over the last few days. The bad news is that there are still loads of great games coming out. So come, join us, and see what's on our personal wishlists for 2024.
]]>Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft's upcoming open world Star Wars game, is set to release "late this year", according to Disney. Announced via a Disney Parks blog post of all things, Star Wars Outlaws ranks as the No.22 most "Ooooh-Worthy Thing" out of the 2024 Disney Experiences line-up - which, considering the list only stretches to 24 entries is a bit of an unfair burn on the game, if you ask me, especially when No.21 is... *checks notes* new Disney Eats and Stitch clothes collections.
]]>Ubisoft's multiplayer Jolly Rog 'em up Skull and Bones is caught on the reefs once again. Recently tipped to appear in early fiscal year 2023-2024, it's now due to make landfall in the publisher's FYQ4 - sometime between January and March 2024. What's the Golden Age of Piracy equivalent for "vapourware"? I'm picturing a spectral vessel like the Flying Dutchman, crewed by glum-faced producers and with a big grimacing statue of company CEO Yves Guillemot affixed to the prow.
The troubled naval combat sim isn't the only Ubisoft project experiencing misadventures. As revealed in their latest earnings report, the publisher have also pushed back a mysterious "large game", originally due to launch before the end of their current fiscal year, to the next fiscal year, which means at some point after 31st March 2024. Speculation runs rife that the anonymous blockbuster is Ubisoft Massive's Star Wars Outlaws.
]]>Star Wars Outlaws is the next upcoming game in a galaxy farfaraway, and since it’s a Ubisoft Original (TM), our adventures with the main scoundrel Kay Vess take place in an open world. Outlaw’s newest behind-the-scenes featurette delves deeper into the game’s free roaming planets, both old (Tatooine, of course, because we play as a Han Solo-type) and new (Toshara, which actually looks pretty cool). Find it below.
]]>Star Wars: Outlaws, Ubisoft's open world take on the far, far away galaxy, had its cinematic reveal just yesterday. Today during Ubisoft's press conference it got a first, 10-minute gameplay trailer, showing some cover shooting, a speeder bike chase, and spaceship combat. Find it below.
]]>Tonight yet another Star Wars game was revealed, this time coming from Lucasfilm (but they all come from them, technically) and Ubisoft. Star Wars Outlaws is, being an Ubi game, an open world adventure where you play as Kay Vess - the Han-Solo-but-a-girl I reference in my headline - and Kay's best alien pal Nix "as they attempt one of the greatest heists the Outer Rim has ever seen." Outlaws was revealed tonight at the Xbox Games Showcase with a trailer that had an extended opening metaphor bit about gambling that was trite enough for me to assume it was a trailer for the Quantic Dream Star Wars game. BUT. I do like the look of Outlaws (currently slated for 2024).
