The galaxy may be far, but Star Wars Outlaws is not. As the latest game in Ubisoft’s open-world franchise, Outlaws is coming out this week on a staggered schedule: an Early Access release date followed by a fixed release date. It will also be released at different times for different platforms. If you want to play Star Wars Outlaws early, you’ll need to purchase the Gold or Ultimate Edition of the game. Both versions will allow you to launch Outlaws on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X up to three days before the regular edition releases on August 30.
Early Access Details: Catching a Head Start
At this time, Star Wars Outlaws is releasing in Early Access. The following image will show you when you can play them in your time zone on the platform of your choice. On PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, Star Wars Outlaws goes into Early Access on Tuesday, August 27, at noon local time. That includes North America, where, unlike many other East Coast-leaning releases, it will be out at midnight local time across the continent. On Windows PCs, the game has a more erratic launch schedule and comes out at different times in different time zones. The image below shows the exact times in various regions around the world.
Entering the World of Outlaws: What to Expect
Star Wars Outlaws largely features a mix of stealth missions, third-person shooting, and longer platforming segments, a formula clearly inspired by the Uncharted series. Outlaws is also known for being a fully open world, but to what extent the game is a classic “Ubisoft Map” remains to be seen.
