Last month, Ubisoft officially showcased the next major DLC set to come to Star Wars Outlaws – A Pirate’s Fortune. In alignment with this DLC now being officially available, the publisher has released Outlaws’ next big free ‘title update’ 1.6, bringing with it a ton of welcome changes, additions and quality of life improvements.
Releasing the patch notes onto their blog, Ubisoft officially detailed Star Wars: Outlaws’ Title Update 1.6, writing: “The new update arrives alongside our brand-new story pack, A Pirate’s Fortune, bringing new improvements and fixes. It also includes a free new cosmetic pack inspired by Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, available to all players!”
The full list of changes and additions can be found HERE, but some of the most notable include:
- The ability to free-fire Kay’s blaster while riding your speeder
- Seamless switching between two-handed weapons and Kay’s blaster
- Enhanced Trailblazer customization with new passive systems
- New space contracts with multiple challenge types and rewards
Other ancillary fixes include the following:
- Improved shooting when behind cover
- Improved enemy AI when moving to cover/being suppressed
- Improved Kay’s movement animations on stairs and slopes
- Miyuki Traders have been upgraded to full vendors
- Performance improvements during climbing
- Improved attaching and releasing input when using the grappling hook
- Kay is now thrown off the speeder when hit by a melee attack
- RTXDI improvements
- Ray Reconstruction improvements
- Various accessibility improvements
While Ubisoft titles do have a penchant to release in less-than-complete states, there is no denying that the publisher is willing to make rather sweeping changes and fixes to ensure the game gets closer to meeting fan expectations. It’s just a shame that we’ve had to wait so many months for some of these improvements.
