70: Star Wars Outlaws Initial Thoughts

Summary

In this episode of the Mastering the Game podcast, host Jermaine Harris discusses the recent release of “Star Wars Outlaws,” a game developed by Ubisoft. He admits to having forgotten about its launch and, although he hasn’t purchased it yet, he’s seen enough gameplay videos to form an opinion. Harris expresses disappointment with the game’s quality, citing a history of underwhelming experiences with Ubisoft titles over the past decade. He notes that “Star Wars Outlaws” launched in a buggy state, with some players on PS5 even having to delete their save files to continue playing, which he finds unacceptable. Harris critiques the gaming industry’s trend toward prioritizing profit over quality, suggesting developers focus more on early revenue than delivering polished games. He predicts that sales for “Star Wars Outlaws” may not be strong and anticipates a price drop in the near future due to a lack of player enjoyment and enthusiasm.
