Star Wars Outlaws is playable early, but it'll cost you

If you simply can’t wait to get your hands on Star Wars Outlaws you can play the game three days early, but at a price.

Yesterday was a big day for Star Wars fans, as Ubisoft’s open-world intergalactic adventure Star Wars Outlaws received a brand-new story trailer, and a release date to go with it.

The game will follow a new protagonist called Kay Vess, who embarks on a journey for riches and freedom alongside her strangely attractive droid friend ND-5, whom fans have been thirsting over for months now.

While many have taken a liking to the new trailer, some troubling details about the game have emerged since it premiered.

First of all, it’s said you’ll need an internet connection to install the game in your console, even if it’s a physical copy, and second a ridiculous price has been put on early-access.

That’s right to play the game a whopping three days early you’ll have to drop around $129.99/£114.99, which also includes a digital artbook, the season pass, and two customisation bundles.

One would-be player shared a screenshot of their preorder bundle, which for some reason costs $169.99 due to where they live.

Fans quickly shared their disappointment with the bundle, with many saying the price was “ridiculous” for a measly three days of early play.

“I find the concept of early access on a single player game to be very odd.”

“That's enough to buy three or four games right there.”

“Are those bundles like physical things? If so, I can see it. If not, that’s nuts for digital stuff.”

Star Wars Outlaws will launch on 30 August for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and PC, three days earlier for those who pay for the ultimate edition of the game.
