Ubisoft Drops a Galactic-Sized Patch for Star Wars Outlaws
Hey there, fellow gamers! Have you heard the latest news from the gaming galaxy? Ubisoft has just unleashed a massive patch for Star Wars Outlaws, and it’s causing quite a stir among players. The game, which is currently in Early Access, is gearing up for its full launch on August 30th, but before that happens, Ubisoft has thrown a curveball at PS5 players that might make them want to hit the reset button. Ouch, that’s gotta hurt!
What’s in the Patch?
The patch, known as Version 1.000.002, is now live on all platforms – Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Clocking in at a hefty 8.5GB, this update brings a few key changes to the game, including:
- Adds 40fps support for compatible displays
- Addresses performance issues
- Fixes numerous bugs across the game
But here’s where things get interesting. For PS5 players, Ubisoft has raised a red flag. They’ve identified an issue where some players may be running an outdated version of the game. Yikes! The only way to fix this is by installing the latest update and starting a new game to avoid any potential roadblocks. Imagine having to start from scratch after putting in hours of gameplay – talk about a major setback!
A Player’s Dilemma
Players who received early access to the game are now receiving emails from Ubisoft, urging them to update their game and restart from the beginning. These emails, unfortunately, are hitting players 4-5 hours into their gameplay, well after the patch has been applied. It’s like being thrown into a boss fight without any warning – not cool, Ubisoft, not cool.
The email from Ubisoft reads, “To best experience the Outer Rim, we rolled out a maintenance to make sure everyone is playing the latest version of the game.” They acknowledge the inconvenience caused and advise players to start fresh to fully enjoy the game as intended. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but sometimes you gotta roll with the punches in the gaming world.
The Bright Side
Fortunately, not all players seem to be affected by these issues. During our review of the game, we didn’t encounter any major hiccups. It’s possible that most players have already updated their game before diving into the action. Phew, crisis averted!
Our time in the Star Wars universe was nothing short of thrilling. As Gamoc mentioned in our review, “Star Wars Outlaws is an open-world scoundrel-’em-up that lets you immerse yourself in the iconic Star Wars Universe. Sure, it’s not perfect, but the thrill of stealing for crime syndicates, battling the Empire, and exploring alien worlds is a dream come true.” Who wouldn’t want to be a part of that adventure?
Conclusion: May the Force Be with You
As gamers, we know that challenges are part of the journey. Whether it’s facing tough bosses or dealing with unexpected patches, we adapt and overcome. So, if you’re diving into Star Wars Outlaws, make sure you’re up to date with the latest version and be prepared to start anew if needed. The galaxy awaits, fellow gamers – may the Force be with you!
