Explore the underbelly of the galaxy in Star Wars Outlaws, arriving with Game Pass Ultimate today.

Since launching in 2024, the game has seen a huge number of quality-of-life tweaks, including a major update to the game’s stealth mechanics, not to mention two story expansions that introduce new locations, activities, and even well-known characters from across the Star Wars universe. That all means that the version of Outlaws joining Game Pass is bigger and better than ever.

So, if you haven’t had the chance to see the story of Kay Vess, here’s a few reasons to head off on this interstellar bounty hunting adventure today.

Explore the Galaxy’s Dark Corners

Star Wars Outlaws explores the galaxy’s underworld, and takes us to several stunning locations both iconic and never-before-seen. Whether you’re soaring through the arid sands of Toshara on the back of your speeder or skulking through the moody, frozen streets of Kijimi hunting for leads, Outlaws deftly showcases a darker side of the Star Wars universe and its inhabitants, many of whom belong to the multiple major crime syndicates operating throughout the galaxy.

Kay Vess, a survivor and a scoundrel to boot, is attuned to these surroundings and instinctively primed to seek opportunity – walking slowly through settlements and loitering in bars will alert you to new opportunities and hidden treasures, immersing you entirely in its surroundings.

Your Outlaw, Your Way

As the first truly open-world Star Wars game, Outlaws offers the opportunity to roam these areas as you’d like. Exploration leads to rewards – Treasures dotted around each planet contain extremely useful items and collectibles, from valuable intel on shady characters, upgrades for Nix and useful Sabacc tricks, as well as other salvageable trinkets you’ll be able to sell for credits.

Kay can also learn new skills for various disciplines by seeking out experts around the galaxy, which allow you to further refine your playstyle. One expert provides valuable slicer skills for a stealthier approach, while other can grant Kay new shooting abilities, weapons, and speeder upgrades for those who prefer an explosive entrance and a dramatic getaway.

You’ll also be able to shape Kay’s journey too – by choosing which Syndicates and characters to favor, and who to betray in each moment throughout the story. Gaining favor with each party leads to different benefits, but there will be consequences to every choice. This freedom in who you trust, who you betray, and how you approach every situation makes for a truly customizable adventure in Outlaws.

Stealth And Combat Updates

Star Wars Outlaws has also seen a significant change to its stealth systems since launch, giving players much more freedom in their scoundrel pursuits. Previously, some sections of the game required stealth to complete successfully, but now, you have the choice to tackle those missions any way you’d like.

If you’d prefer to talk with your blaster rather than wiggle through the air vents issuing silent takedowns, that’s a viable option now. The enemy AI has also seen detection improvements, making it easier to see when you’re about to have your cover blown by an enemy, and offering more options to smoothly retain your stealth before needing to resort to full blown combat during a mission. You can now also use your Blaster while driving your Speeder, making it easier to defend yourself from pirates and other rogues out to ruin your day.

If you’re not a stealth fan but still want to get stuck into Outlaws’ deliciously destitute world, this is the update you needed.

Two New Story Packs

Star Wars Outlaws now has two additional paid Story Packs that expand Kay’s story and ties it to threads of the wider Star Wars universe. In Wild Card, Kay is hired to infiltrate a high-stakes Sabacc tournament, where she swiftly discovers that a whole other kind of game is being played in the background. This particular Sabacc game is strictly invite-only, so Kay must find a way to earn her entry and find out what’s going on. Aboard the casino cruiser Morenia, Kay encounters notorious pilot Lando Calrissian, who offers to help her gain an upper hand in Sabacc with his expert double draw technique.

The most recent Story Pack, A Pirate’s Fortune, takes Kay and Nix on a journey to seek out lost treasure in the Khepi system. The hunt for the legendary loot will take our intrepid explorers through numerous dangerous spots, where they’ll encounter the Rokana Raiders, a pirate gang also out to steal the treasure for themselves.

In A Pirate’s Fortune, Kay and Nix pair up with Hondo Ohnaka, a pirate and fellow scoundrel who you may recognize from ‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ and ‘Star Wars Rebels’. Ohnaka is down on his luck and without a crew or a ship, but his quick-wit and knowledge makes him a solid companion for Kay as they seek out lost treasure and take on rival pirate gangs together.

This DLC is designed to be enjoyed after completing Outlaws’ main campaign, so it’s a great place to hop back in, or an extra adventure to look forward to if you’re yet to jump in. Purchasing the Gold Edition, Ultimate Edition or Season Pass of Star Wars Outlaws will grant access to both packs, or Game Pass members can purchase each expansion individually.

If you’ve always wanted to see the darker, mysterious side of Star Wars through the lens of a scrappy survivor rather than a Jedi hero, Star Wars Outlaws has the goods. Hop in on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC with Game Pass today.
