Outlaws,

Our latest patch has just been deployed for Star Wars Outlaws across all platforms!

The new update arrives alongside our brand-new story pack, A Pirate’s Fortune, bringing new improvements and fixes. It also includes a free new cosmetic pack inspired by Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, available to all players! Be sure to check your delivery crate aboard the Trailblazer to claim it.



This update also adds some new gameplay upgrades: you can now free-fire Kay’s blaster while riding your speeder. Additionally, to create a smoother combat experience, you can now seamlessly switch between two-handed weapons and Kay’s blaster. The Trailblazer customization has also been enhanced, with new passive systems to equip which offer a variety of gameplay effects, giving you more ways to fine-tune your strategy during space missions.



For those eager to get back to the pilot seat - new space contracts are live as well, featuring multiple challenge types and rewards for daring pilots.

Of course, this update also comes with a full list of improvement and bug fixes. You can find the complete list of changes below.
