On August 26, reviews for Star Wars Outlaws — the first open-world game set in the Star Wars universe developed by Ubisoft — were released online. The game was created by Massive Entertainment, the studio known for The Division.

Critics generally agreed that Outlaws is a "safe" game without original ideas, feeling more like a foundation for potential future franchise development.

The gameplay received the most criticism, with journalists describing it as repetitive and monotonous. This applied to both the combat system and the stealth mechanics, which feature heavily in missions.

However, several journalists praised the writing of the main characters. According to some reviewers, the script holds up well, even in most of the side quests. That said, there are opposing views, with some finding the story as uninspired as the gameplay.

The game currently holds an average score of 77 out of 100 on Metacritic.
