Ubisoft has unveiled the roadmap of what's to come over the next couple of months for Star Wars Outlaws, all leading up to its Steam release and first story pack in November.
The roadmap, which you can see below, reveals that the next title update will come on October 3, focused on bug fixes and improvements. Update 3 will follow on October 24, featuring some quality of life improvements.

But the big day will come a month later on November 21. As was confirmed earlier this week, Star Wars Outlaws will release on Steam on that date, which is the same day of the release of its first story pack. We already knew about that, but Ubisoft also revealed that Update 4 will arrive on November 21 too, featuring combat and stealth improvements as well as free additional contracts.
Ubisoft confirmed the details of the upcoming story pack, Star Wars Outlaws: Wild Card, a few days ago. The DLC will "see Kay and Nix infiltrate a high-stakes Sabacc tournament where they will face off against the legendary Lando Calrissian."
It's the latest in what's been something of a news-filled week for Ubisoft. On Wednesday, the publisher admitted that Outlaws had a "softer than expected launch" in a note to investors, but vowed to roll out updates to draw in more players over the holiday season.
"In response to player feedback, Ubisoft’s development teams are currently fully mobilized to swiftly implement a series of updates to polish and improve the player experience in order to engage a large audience during the holiday season to position Star Wars Outlaws as a strong long-term performer," Ubisoft wrote at the time.
In the same note to investors, Ubisoft also delayed Assassin's Creed Shadows to February 2025 and revealed that they'd be returning to Day 1 Steam releases with Shadows, seemingly in response to Outlaws' launch.
We gave Star Wars Outlaws a 7/10 in our review, with Tristan Ogilvie calling it "a fun intergalactic heist adventure with great exploration, but it’s hindered by simple stealth, repetitive combat, and a few too many bugs at launch."
