Star Wars Outlaws Patch Enables Cross-Saves, Tweaks Insta-fail Stealth Sections

Star Wars Outlaws hasn’t got off to the start that Ubisoft would have hoped for, both in terms of critical reception and initial sales, but developer Massive Entertainment is still very much at work continuing to polish up the experience. Creative director Julian Gerighty recently confirmed that an upcoming patch would make much-needed adjustments to some of the game’s more frustrating insta-fail stealth sections, and that patch has now arrived.

Title update 1.1.2 has made tweaks to various stealth sections and general mechanics, such as AI detection. Additionally, it also adds support for cross-progression, so players can no carry their saves across platforms through Ubisoft Connect. Various other improvements and tweaks are also included, such as performance improvements on PC, crash fixes on all platforms, fixing a bug that prevented a Trophy from being unlocked on PS5, and more. You can check out the full patch notes below.

Star Wars Outlaws is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
