Since its latest story trailer debuted, Massive Entertainment’s Star Wars Outlaws has received some interesting reactions. However, several have spoken out against the Jabba’s Gambit mission, which is playable at launch but only for those who own the Season Pass. The only way to get it is by paying $129.99 for the Ultimate Edition.

In response to the backlash, a Ubisoft representative told PC Gamer, “To clarify, Jabba the Hutt and the Hutt Cartel are one of the main syndicates in Star Wars Outlaws and will be part of the experience for everyone who purchases the game, regardless of edition. The ‘Jabba’s Gambit’ mission is an optional, additional mission with the Hutt Cartel along Kay and Nix’s journey across the Outer Rim.

“This mission will be available to those who purchase the season pass or an edition of the game, which includes the season pass.” It’s thus not the only mission players can expect from the infamous crime boss. While the full extent of content in the title is unknown, each planet is the size of two to three zones from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Some cities, like Mirogana, are more compact but emphasize density over scale. Thankfully, there are no towers to uncover portions of the map.

Star Wars Outlaws launches on August 30th for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. Stay tuned for more details and gameplay in the coming months, especially with the next Ubisoft Forward in June.
