Star Wars Outlaws: Fifth and final patch now available

Shortly after the title update in November, Ubisoft has now released another patch for Star Wars Outlaws. This should now be the last update as part of the revisions.

Ubisoft had to take a lot of criticism after the release of Star Wars Outlaws, even though it wasn't a bad game in general. But some design decisions weren't really well received by fans. The developers then set about reworking some aspects of the game.

A comprehensive patch that revised the combat system was only released in November, parallel to the release of the first story DLC. Today Ubisoft released Title Update 1.5.0, the fifth and final patch for the open-world adventure. The main features are performance optimizations, improvements for DLSS and frame generation, but also revisions to the NPC behavior when it comes to cover and grenades.

Some known problems related to PS5 Pro and streaming services such as Luna or GeForce NOW are still in progress and should be fixed shortly. Here are the patch notes for Update 1.5.0 for Star Wars Outlaws in detail:
