The long-awaited brand new update for Star Wars Outlaws is finally here and promises to change the game after its rocky launch.
Star Wars Outlaws has just received its biggest update yet: version 1.4.0. This patch is now available on all platforms and brings significant improvements to gameplay, infiltration, combat and even graphics. Here's everything you need to know about this update that promises to make your adventures in the Outer Rim even more immersive.
More options for combat and stealth in Star Wars Outlaws
Star Wars Outlaws Update 1.4.0 gives players more flexibility in their choices between discretion or pure action. Even in union-controlled areas, you can now opt for a stealthy approach or draw your blaster.
Enemies also benefit from weak points. Aiming at them triggers explosions or spectacular animations. Additionally, adjustments to Kay's blaster and included weapons improve accuracy and make combat even more satisfying.
Other new features: The enemy AI has been optimized. Players will receive a notification when they are discovered, giving them time to change their strategy. This adds a new tactical and immersive dimension to the gameplay.
Even more immersive graphics and animations
Ubisoft has also worked on the graphics and animations to improve the experience:
- Characters' facial expressions during dialogue are now more natural.
- An option allows you to turn off cinematic effects (distortion, vignetting) to get a sharper image.
- Distant lights are visible from greater distances, making landscapes even more vivid.
These improvements, combined with reworked terrain textures, provide even more immersion, whether in combat or during your exploration.
Smoother and more accessible gameplay
The update doesn't stop there and includes new accessibility options to make the game more intuitive:
- Players can fully customize the controls, whether for Kay, the Speeder or the Trailblazer.
- Improved aim assist has been added, ideal for players looking for more convenience.
- A new option lets you automatically climb from one object to another, making movement easier.
These additions make Star Wars Outlaws even more accessible to players of all skill levels.
Here the size of the update depends on your medium:
- PlayStation 5 : 7.44 Go
- Xbox Series X|S : 10.18 Go
- PC : 8.83 Go
These optimizations include a rework of death animations, improved handling of blaster modules, and adjustments to balance enemy damage based on difficulty. The complete list Changes can be found on the Ubisoft website.
