Outlaws,
Our 5th and latest patch has just been deployed for Star Wars Outlaws across all platforms!
This Title Update brings a myriad of performance improvements and adjustments, such as smoothing transitions when NPCs move in and out of cover and improving AI reactions to grenades and Kay when concealed by smoke.
We’ve also updated Frame Generation and DLSS options in addition to a range of improvements to gameplay, UI, audio and more to ensure you have the best experience possible across the galaxy.
Also, we're aware of ongoing issues regarding foliage flickering on PS5 Pro and crashes occurring when entering Mirogana City for some Luna and GeForce Now players. We are currently investigating these issues and are working hard to fix them as soon as we possibly can. Thanks for your understanding.
You can find the complete list of changes below.
