If you chose patience with Star Wars Outlaws, then here is your reward. The new Star Wars game has been discounted in Black Friday sales, now down to $39.99 on PS5 and Xbox. That’s 43% below the original list price, an extra $10 cheaper than it was just a week ago when it first reached a new all-time low price, and a much better offering for anyone who was unsure of the game when it launched back in late August.
The deal also features Amazon’s exclusive limited edition content pack, which includes Rogue Infiltrator cosmetics for Kay and Nix. It’s the best deal we’re getting on the game before Christmas, so snap it up if you’ve been waiting for a sale, or want to gift it to someone over the holidays.
This would be a good time to jump on the game – it’s not been long since Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment deployed a massive update bringing a host of performance and gameplay enhancements, a range of visual improvements, and bug fixes to the open-world sci-fi game on console and PC.
The publisher laid out everything new in the patch notes on its website, with Ubisoft emphasizing that these updates were shaped by player feedback, reaffirming its commitment to closely listening as post-launch support for Star Wars Outlaws continues.
What We Said in Our Review
Tristan Ogilvie said in his 7/10 review: “It’s ironic that Kay’s ship is called the Trailblazer, since there’s actually not a whole lot of ideas in Star Wars Outlaws that haven’t been done before in other action and open-world adventures. Instead, it’s quite like the Millenium Falcon: a bucket of bolts held together with repurposed parts and prone to breaking down, but at its best it’s more than capable of jolting your pleasure centres into Star Wars fan hyperspace.
“A clever syndicate system brings real weight to almost every task you choose to undertake, some of which have creative quest designs that can often conjure up some genuinely stunning blindsides. Having a pal like Nix at your side the entire time not only adds an extra dimension to Kay’s fairly generic smuggler character, but also gives her an enhanced set of useful abilities. But even he can’t quite make its stealth and combat feel any less rigid and repetitive, and the odds of avoiding the many glaring technical issues present at launch are 3,720 to one. But you probably didn’t want me to tell you the odds.”
More Black Friday Game Deals
Should You Wait for Cyber Monday?
The official Black Friday sales events for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo have been underway for about a week, and most decent deals have been available. However, retailers are still droping prices on some games before they go out of stock – Star Wars Outlaws being one prime example. At this point, I wouldn’t wait for a better price to come around on Cyber Monday. This is the game’s all-time low price; I’d jump on this now before it sells out.
