New February 2025 Update Released for Star Wars Outlaws

There’s exciting news for Star Wars Outlaws enthusiasts on PC – the new update now accommodates the freshly unveiled Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 series cards. This 1.5.1 update not only resolves some nagging bugs but also brings PSSR compatibility with the latest PlayStation 5 Pro version, enhancing the gaming experience on all fronts.

After five months in the gaming world, Star Wars Outlaws hasn’t quite lived up to the high hopes set by Ubisoft. Despite its foundation in the beloved Star Wars universe and featuring a fresh protagonist, Kay Vess, it hasn’t exactly hit home with critics or fans. The game’s lukewarm reception prompted Creative Director Drew Rechner to pivot the development focus towards refining Star Wars Outlaws based on feedback, emphasizing three major areas. Since its launch, there have been five notable updates along with several minor patches, the latest of which rolled out on February 6, 2025.

Massive Entertainment has rolled out Title Update 1.5.1 for Star Wars Outlaws, particularly enhancing the experience for PC and PS5 Pro users. On the PC front, this patch introduces support for the RTX 50 series graphics cards, featuring DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame Generation, which promises a silkier gameplay experience. Additionally, players will notice improvements in lighting and motion details thanks to these state-of-the-art technologies. PS5 Pro users aren’t left out either, with the addition of the new PSSR version, which capitalizes on sophisticated AI upscaling.

Moreover, the update tackled a pesky bug involving crashes when traveling to the Renpalli Station. Other fixes include tempering the sound of overhead ships and making sure our hero, Kay, can reliably get off their speeder even on steep hills.

Ubisoft’s tough period began with the underwhelming launch of Star Wars Outlaws, compounded by the closure of XDefiant, a setback for the gaming giant. Looking ahead, Ubisoft pins its hopes on the upcoming release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, aiming for a resurgence through this pivotal title in its repertoire.

As for the precise patch details:

• PlayStation 5: 1.93 GB (version 01.005.001 / 7641097.TU5)
• Xbox Series X/S: 3.65 GB (version 1.0.5.1 / 7641097.TU5)
• PC (Ubisoft Connect): 3.30 GB (version 1.0.5.1 / 7711640.TU5)
• Steam: 3.30 GB (version 1.0.5.1 / 7711640.TU5)

In the patch notes, PC players will appreciate DLSS 4 capabilities to enhance frames and details using AI, while a significant crash issue on streaming platforms has been mended for a more seamless experience. With these patches underway, the Star Wars saga in gaming continues as players anticipate improved gameplay and narrative arcs in the series.

Star Wars Outlaws offers an expansive open-world adventure across a richly detailed galaxy. Players can delve into new planets, engage with the galaxy’s infamous crime syndicates, and pilot their ship through thrilling aerial dogfights. Despite initial shortcomings, the game’s ambition ensures it remains a title worth revisiting, especially with continuous updates enhancing its features.
