Star Wars Outlaws: the scoundrel life in an open-world Star Wars, a sourced analysis
Star Wars Outlaws is Massive Entertainment’s open-world action-adventure game. A summary of official information and three launch reviews of the PS5 version; this is not a hands-on TricknFix review.
Game trailer
Kay Vess and Nix
Developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Ubisoft, Star Wars Outlaws launched on 30 August 2024 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Ubisoft Store and Epic Games Store), then on Steam in November 2024 and on Nintendo Switch 2 on 4 September 2025. You play Kay Vess, a thief travelling with Nix, juggling four crime syndicates across several planets, exploring by speeder and flying her ship, the Trailblazer, in space.
What the press says
On PS5 at launch, Push Square (6/10) enjoys the exploration, traversal sequences and the Kay and Nix duo, but finds combat, stealth and the reputation system too surface-level, with poor visuals in places. GamingBolt (6/10, PS5) praises strong open-world design, an enjoyable story and an excellent reputation system, but points to clunky game feel, weak stealth and parkour, dated insta-fail sections and many technical issues. TheSixthAxis (8/10, PS5) is more enthusiastic: the game truly delivers the Star Wars scoundrel fantasy, even if secondary characters lack depth. These are launch reviews; Ubisoft has released several updates since, which the average does not reflect.
Editions and prices
Checked on 12 November 2026: on Steam, the Standard, Deluxe, Gold and Ultimate editions cost €69.99, €89.99, €109.99 and €129.99. On the PlayStation Store (PS5), they cost €79.99, €99.99, €119.99 and €139.99. On the Xbox Store, the Standard Edition costs €79.99 and the Ultimate Edition €139.99. The Gold and Ultimate editions add the season pass with both story packs, Wild Card and A Pirate’s Fortune. Ubisoft also offers the game through its Ubisoft+ subscription: that access is not a purchase and is not listed as an offer, nor are subscriber-only prices. The Nintendo eShop, Ubisoft Store, Epic Games Store and physical editions were not checked for this survey.
Who is it for?
Star Wars fans who want to explore the galaxy as a scoundrel, and fans of Ubisoft-style open worlds. Players looking for demanding combat or stealth may be disappointed.
Press average
The score block above shows the press average computed from original reviews of the PS5 version, checked on 12 November 2026: Push Square 6/10, GamingBolt 6/10 and TheSixthAxis 8/10. Each score is converted to /20 and averaged with equal weight. This summary is not a hands-on review.
