First Star Wars Outlaws Update Makes Stealth Missions Easier, Patch Notes Revealed

Star Wars Outlaws gets its first big update.

By Tanner Dedmon

Star Wars Outlaws has now gotten its first title update just over a week after it released, and within those patch notes, Ubisoft's Massive Entertainment addressed one of the biggest topics of conversation since the game released: stealth. Stealth is a core part of Star Wars Outlaws just like it is in other Ubisoft games like the Far Cry and Assassin's Creed series, but many Star Wars Outlaws players felt that Kay was not able to navigate some scenarios successfully even when players were being quite careful.

Thankfully, Massive Entertainment seemed to agree as stealth should be a bit easier in Star Wars Outlaws now thanks to the latest update. The update overall contains "tweaks and improvement on some challenging stealth moments" with special consideration given to things like rolling around while trying to be stealthy, a tactic which didn't always work as expected when trying to avoid detection.

If you've got Star Wars Outlaws on more than one platform, you'll also be happy to hear that cross-progression has now been enabled courtesy of Ubisoft Connect. That and more included in the patch notes can be found below, and you can read our full review of Star Wars Outlaws here if you're still on the fence about playing.
