Unfortunately, the latest update for Star Wars: Outlaw’s version on PlayStation 5 (PS5) requires some players to begin anew with their saves. Although the update introduced bug fixes, improved performance, and included a 40FPS Mode, it may not compensate for those who must restart their gaming journey. Here are the details of the Star Wars Outlaws Update 1.000.002 Patch Notes.

  • Added 40FPS support for compatible displays
  • Addresses performance issues
  • Numerous bug fixes across the game

As a seasoned gamer with years of experience under my belt, I can tell you that updates like this one are always welcome. The fact that it includes numerous bug fixes and performance improvements means that I will likely encounter fewer glitches and smoother gameplay, which is crucial for an enjoyable gaming experience. Additionally, the 40FPS support offers a new display option, which is especially beneficial for those of us with older hardware or monitors. All in all, this update seems to be a convenient one, aimed at enhancing the overall gameplay and addressing common issues that many players have faced. Here’s hoping it lives up to its promise!

Despite the fact that it’s possible to carry on playing from where you left off, the recent update may hinder further progress for some PlayStation 5 gamers.

Even though the game was launched on Early Access yesterday, having to restart it after only a few hours of play can be quite frustrating. While we understand the need for updates to fix issues, some PlayStation 5 gamers have effectively lost a day’s worth of Early Access playing time due to this. Given that they had to pay around $109.99 USD (including tax) just to get early access, this feels like a disappointing setback for many PS5 players. This is one of several challenges that come with an Early Access release.

At a minimum, this update may seem expensive initially, but it’s likely to be advantageous in the future. With multiple bug fixes and enhancements, these changes could outweigh any initial inconvenience caused, such as losing your saved game file. And if you’re using a PC or Xbox Series X, rest assured, this issue won’t affect you.

If you’re gaming on PlayStation 5, consider starting a fresh game and deleting the previous save file as a simple solution. By doing so, you bypass potential problems or roadblocks that could hinder your progress through the narrative.

In summary, this covers the recent update for Star Wars Outlaws on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms. We deeply apologize for those who must restart their adventure due to this update. However, we hope that the remaining Early Access period will bring you continued enjoyment. For additional insights about the game, take a look at our First Impressions of Star Wars Outlaws.
