Beyond fixing issues, the 1.3.0 update for Star War Outlaws (referred to as 1.0.3.0 on PC and Xbox Series X/S consoles) modifies stealth mechanics in missions such as False Flag. This alteration aims to offer players a broader range of strategies when tackling situations without the risk of failure.

In this update for the Sony PlayStation 5 (version 1.3.0 or 01.003.000), improvements in performance and stability were made along with other changes. The latest patch for Star Wars Outlaws addressed a problem that had caused the game to crash when New Game mode was selected. The 1.3.0 update for Star Wars Outlaws will occupy approximately 5 GB of space on PC and Xbox Series X/S systems, while only requiring about 3.5 GB on the PS5.

The “Wild Card” Downloadable Content (DLC) for the game “Star Wars Outlaws” will be released on November 21. This coincides with the game’s debut on Steam and the unveiling of the fourth title update. Priced at $40, this expansion includes a new storyline starring Lando Calrissian, a beloved character in the Star Wars universe, two cosmetic bundles only available to Season Pass holders, and additional contracts for all players.
