This game seems to offer a completely new perspective in the Star Wars games landscape. We’ll be playing as outlaws who “fight, steal, and outwit [our] way through the galaxy’s crime syndicates as [we] join the galaxy’s most wanted.” What’s the bet we’ll see Jabba the Hutt in this game?

Regardless, if you want to experience this story and massive open-worldthree days early, you’ll need to get either the Gold or Ultimate Edition. If you have a monthly Ubisoft+ account, you can also access the game early with the included Ultimate Edition.

Review: Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection

Does the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection deliver an unparalleled Star Wars multiplayer experience, or is this just a nostalgia trap?

Star Wars Outlaws releases officially on August 30 for the PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC. A streaming version on Amazon Luna will also be available on that same day. Unfortunately, it seems like the game won’t be on Steam at launch like past 2024 Ubisoft releases such asPrince of Persia: The Lost CrownandSkull & Bones.

The European age classification board PEGI has rated this game as a 12, so parents may have to play it first to determine if it is right for their child/children. “Careful, you should be,” Yoda would say.
