As a die-hard Star Wars fan who has been eagerly awaiting this new adventure, I must admit that my excitement for Star Wars Outlaws was somewhat dampened by its lackluster reception and subsequent mixed reviews.

After the recent update on PlayStation 5, numerous players are encountering troubles with the game “Star Wars Outlaws,” some even finding it unplayable at this point. The new update for “Star Wars Outlaws” was just rolled out a few days ago, yet gamers using PS5 have already spotted a significant problem.

Following much anticipation, the reviews of the game “Star Wars Outlaws” fell short of expectations, receiving a mix of positive and negative feedback from both fans and critics. The game allowed players to explore famous and novel Star Wars locations, but was marred by several problems that some found too numerous. A frequent criticism was its adherence to the Ubisoft open-world formula, even in a distant galaxy. Nevertheless, Massive Entertainment continues to work on patches and additional content for “Star Wars Outlaws,” aiming to make it as top-notch as possible.

A clip shared by Twitter user Riannon892 reveals a problem encountered by numerous gamers with the latest update of Star Wars Outlaws on PlayStation 5. The video displays screen tearing, causing gameplay to be challenging while moving. This issue has been acknowledged in various online discussions, as many users have reported experiencing the same problem after the patch. Some players even referred to it as “unplayable” when communicating with Riannon892. Hopefully, Massive Entertainment addresses this matter promptly before the problem persists for a prolonged period.

Star Wars Outlaws Screen Tearing is Causing Issues on PS5

Before this recent update, the PlayStation 5 edition of “Star Wars Outlaws” didn’t stand out remarkably from its versions on Xbox Series X/S or PC. However, it takes advantage of one unique feature on the DualSense controller that could potentially give it an upper hand over those versions. Unfortunately, some players are currently experiencing issues with it, which unfortunately makes the PS5 version less appealing at this time.

Despite the varying success of Star Wars Outlaws sales, Massive Entertainment continues to strategize for its future. Recently, they unveiled a roadmap for Star Wars Outlaws that extends up until November. Beyond this timeline, there are two story expansions planned. The second one, titled A Pirate’s Fortune, is currently slated for release in Spring 2025. However, the long-term support for the game following its release remains uncertain.
