The launch of Ubisoft’s huge new open-world Star Wars experience, Star Wars Outlaws, is less than two weeks away on August 30th for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, and that means we’re gearing up to bring you our full review of the game along with plenty of other in-depth coverage.
The good news, for anyone hoping to read up on how Massive Entertainment has fared in bringing the Star Wars scoundrel fantasy to life well ahead of picking up the game for themselves, is that reviews will drop quite a few days before the standard edition launch (and just before the Gold/Ultimate Edition early access). With that in mind, here’s what you need to know about when you’ll be able to read our own review, what we’ve thought of the game so far, and where to get the best deal.
When Can You Read Our Star Wars Outlaws Review?
The review embargo for Star Wars Outlaws lifts on August 26th at 10PM AEST, which is when you’ll be able to head straight to the Press Start Australia home page and find our full, scored review ready and waiting.
What Are Our Impressions So Far?
We’ve also had plenty of opportunities to go hands-on with Star Wars Outlaws ahead of launch, including playing nearly five hours of the game at a recent preview event. After playing the game and chatting to the team from Massive, Harry came away suitably impressed so far, writing:
“Even though I got to play almost five hours of Star Wars Outlaws, I’ve come away from my hands-on feeling like I’ve barely scratched the surface. There are still many planets to explore, Experts to uncover, and Intel Chains to reach the end of. There are many other elements of the game I haven’t touched on here. It feels ambitious in every sense of the word, fuelled by a passion and love for the IP that isn’t dissimilar to what Respawn have done with the Jedi games. It’s carving out its own identity amidst a plethora of unique takes on this galaxy, and I can’t wait to jump back in for more.”
