A patch for the highly anticipated game Star Wars Outlaws has inadvertently caused issues for some PS5 players, trapping them in space without any way to progress. This problem emerged during the early access period, which began ahead of the game's official release on August 30. Players who have pre-ordered the Gold or Ultimate Editions may find themselves stuck, requiring a fresh game save to continue after installing a recent update. Ubisoft has acknowledged the issue and is advising players to start anew to fully enjoy the game experience as intended.

nWhat should players do if they get stuck in Star Wars Outlaws?

If you find yourself stuck in Star Wars Outlaws, it is recommended to start a new save file after ensuring you have the latest version of the game installed. Continuing from an older save may result in progression blockers.

Star Wars Outlaws is an action-adventure game set in the expansive Star Wars universe, developed by Ubisoft. It combines rich storytelling with open-world exploration, allowing players to experience life as a smuggler in the Outer Rim. The game has generated considerable excitement for its immersive gameplay and ties to iconic elements from the Star Wars lore, promising an adventurous journey through the galaxy.

It’s a bummer to see a highly anticipated game like Star Wars Outlaws facing such a frustrating glitch right out of the gate, especially for those who’ve been eagerly waiting to explore the galaxy. Hopefully, Ubisoft can streamline this fix quickly, because the last thing we want is for players to feel stranded in space
