While we already reported that Star Wars Outlaws can only be installed with an internet connection, it seems another bit of bad news has surfaced for the game once again, and this one involves a specific piece of content, which is a mission involving Jabba the Hutt.

On the game’s website, it mentions that the Season Pass will contain two pieces of DLC that will be released post-launch, which will enable players to “keep exploring the world of Star Wars Outlaws with all-new stories, quests and areas to discover.”
Aside from the post-release content, other stuff exclusive to Season Pass owners include:
- The “Jabba’s Gambit” exclusive mission available at launch
- The “Kessel Runner Character Pack” featuring additional cosmetics for Kay and Nix
The base game is priced at $70, with the Gold and Ultimate editions priced $109 and $129 respectively, though these two editions also come with three-day early access as well (you read the different editions and their contents here).
While locking content behind a Season Pass is nothing new, it still stings when it’s not post-release content but something that’s available day one. Of course, we don’t know how extensive the Jabba’s Gambit mission is and what rewards are tied to it.
Hopefully, this is the last bit of bad news that surfaces for Star Wars Outlaws, as just from a gameplay standpoint, what’s been show looks good so far.
If you were planning to buy the Season Pass or the Gold or Ultimate editions, then this is non-news for you. However, for those getting the vanilla base game version, expect at least one mission in the game to be inaccessible for you. While Ubisoft can change course and make it available at launch or sometime after, there’s no guarantee that’ll happen, so if you want to play every mission in the game, best be ready to open up your wallet a bit more.
Star Wars Outlaws is set for release this August 30, 2024 on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Screw this game, the ugly character models and now the locked season pass missions.
That and it’s an Ubisoft game so it wasn’t going to be good in the first place. Sadly, it’ll make a fortune from idiots.
ROFL! Did anyone think Ubisoft wasn’t going to turn this into a monetized mess? How can you all be still so naive? Companies aren’t your friends. They exist to make money and they want as much of yours as possible while not caring at all what the quality is of what they give you. Stop being pathetic.
