Star Wars Outlaws Review Embargo Lifts on August 26

The highly anticipated release of Ubisoft‘s and Massive Entertainment’s Star Wars Outlaws is drawing closer. The review embargo for this open-world action-adventure game will be lifted on August 26, 2024, at 5 AM Pacific Time. This timing allows outlets to share their impressions four days before the official release on August 30, 2024.

VGC’s Jordan Middler confirmed the embargo details on Twitter. This means fans can expect to see comprehensive reviews and first impressions from various media outlets on that date. The pre-load for the game is set to go live on the PlayStation Store on August 28, two days after the embargo lifts, giving those who pre-ordered the digital edition a head start.

Star Wars Outlaws follows the story of Kay Vess, a young scoundrel who assembles a crew for a daring heist to repay a crime syndicate. Set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, the game offers players a third-person perspective in an expansive open world filled with various activities.

Fans eagerly awaiting the game’s release should prepare for the large download size, which is 61.86 GB on Xbox Series X/S. For those running low on storage, clearing space ahead of time or considering SSD expansion options might be necessary.
