Star Wars Outlaws’ latest DLC has tempted us to return to a galaxy far far away

STAR Wars Outlaws launched a few months ago, and it garnered a mixed response depending on your platform.

It took some time after launch before it ran smoothly, and this made many players stop in their tracks.

But now the game works as it should, Ubisoft has not only released Star Wars Outlaws on Steam, but the Wild Card DLC on all platforms

The new release means that those who didn’t play much due to issues at launch are diving back in to see what’s new.

That is except for Windows 11 players who are experiencing Star Wars Outlaws crashes after the latest update.

We didn’t finish the main game, but still were intrigued, like many others, to see what new content Ubisoft had added.

If you have the Season Pass, then you’ll be able to access the Wild Card story DLC with the 1.4 update.

We still wish Kay Vess was more confident and charismatic in public, given that she’s meant to be an experienced thief.

If she was more goofy in private we could understand, but not using a public facade isn’t really befitting of an intergalactic scammer.

But one of the best parts of Outlaws is the sense of immersion, where you don’t need a greater final goal to keep you invested.

It gave us the things we wanted from Starfield, a sense of fulfilment from simply exploring the galaxy.

We don’t need a mission to follow, we’re happy racing through our desert on our speeder seeking out something new.

The Wild Card DLC features a high-stakes Sabacc game on a casino ship with a very exclusive guest list, including Lando Calrissian.

Kay is blackmailed by an Imperial Governor claiming she’s a spy into winning the grand prize at Moreno’s exclusive Sabacc game.

This means Kay has to sneak aboard the ship, grab an invite to the game, and end up on top.

It’s a very focused questline that plays to Star Wars Outlaws’ strengths, but things are still fairly open.

You can gather information by eavesdropping, stealing keys, or by lying and blackmailing.

When it comes to Sabacc you can figure out who’s cheating and get them disqualified rather than beating them outright.

It’s linear but it allows you to choose how you reach each outcome.

There is still shooting with a high-speed chase at the end, but it’s a surprisingly robust DLC given that it only features one mission.

People might not have given Star Wars Outlaws a chance when it was released, but they definitely should give it a second look.

The Wild Card DLC shows just how good the story can be with plenty of options to make it your own.
