It’s been a rocky road for Star Wars Outlaws, but Ubisoft isn’t giving up on the game just yet. The latest update, Title Update 1.5.1, is now available for download across all platforms, bringing with it a mix of technical improvements and bug fixes. PC players, especially those with Nvidia’s latest GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs, will benefit from new performance enhancements, while PlayStation 5 Pro users get an upgrade to Sony’s AI-based upscaling tech, PSSR.

Since launching in September 2024, Star Wars Outlaws has struggled to meet the high expectations set by both fans and critics. As the first open-world Star Wars game, it had a lot to live up to, and while it introduced players to a brand-new protagonist, Kay Vess, and a sprawling galaxy to explore, the execution left many feeling underwhelmed. Ubisoft and developer Massive Entertainment have been hard at work addressing these concerns, rolling out several patches in an effort to refine the experience.

With five major updates already released, Title Update 1.5.1 is the latest attempt to fine-tune Star Wars Outlaws and bring it closer to the game fans hoped for. Here’s everything you need to know about what’s changed.

PC Players Get a Boost with DLSS 4

One of the biggest changes in this update is the addition of DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation for players using Nvidia’s newest GPUs. If you’ve managed to get your hands on a GeForce RTX 50 series card, you’re in for a smoother experience, thanks to AI-powered enhancements that generate extra frames to increase performance.

DLSS 4 also brings improved single Frame Generation with reduced memory usage, meaning even players on RTX 40 series cards will see some benefits. Additionally, Nvidia has introduced new AI models that refine lighting, enhance detail in motion, and improve overall image stability. If you’re on PC and own a compatible GPU, this update should make Star Wars Outlaws look and run better than ever.

PlayStation 5 Pro Users Get an Upgrade

Over on the PlayStation side, Ubisoft has integrated the latest version of PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution), Sony’s AI-driven upscaling technology that enhances visuals on the PS5 Pro. While this won’t make a massive difference for players on the base PS5 model, those with the Pro edition should notice sharper details and improved performance. Given that the PS5 Pro has been pushing new rendering techniques, this update ensures Star Wars Outlaws takes full advantage of the console’s capabilities.

Bug Fixes and Quality-of-Life Improvements

No update is complete without bug fixes, and Title Update 1.5.1 addresses some of the more annoying issues players have encountered. One particularly frustrating bug that caused the game to crash when traveling to Renpalli Station via streaming services has been squashed. This should make for a smoother experience for those playing through platforms like GeForce Now.

Other fixes include resolving an issue where audio from overhead ships was far louder than it should have been, making space battles and certain cutscenes sound overwhelming. Additionally, a bug preventing Kay from dismounting her speeder on steep inclines has finally been fixed. These might seem like small details, but for players who encountered them regularly, they make a significant difference.

Ubisoft’s Rocky Year and the Future of Star Wars Outlaws

Ubisoft has had a tough time lately, and Star Wars Outlaws is just one piece of the puzzle. The game’s underwhelming launch was a blow to the company, but it wasn’t the only misstep. Just months later, Ubisoft pulled the plug on XDefiant, its long-hyped live-service shooter, after failing to gain traction. With back-to-back setbacks, the company is at a critical juncture, and its next big release, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, will need to deliver to restore confidence.

For Star Wars Outlaws, these ongoing updates suggest Ubisoft is committed to turning things around. While the game may never become the smash hit fans hoped for at launch, continued support could help it find a dedicated player base over time. Other Ubisoft titles, like The Division 2 and Rainbow Six Siege, struggled early on but eventually became successful thanks to consistent post-launch updates.

Whether Star Wars Outlaws can follow that same path remains to be seen. But with new hardware support, bug fixes, and performance enhancements rolling out, the game is at least moving in the right direction.

Final Thoughts

While Star Wars Outlaws still has a long way to go before it fully redeems itself in the eyes of fans, this update is a step in the right direction. With better performance for PC and PS5 Pro users and fixes for some irritating bugs, Ubisoft is showing that it’s listening to feedback and committed to improving the experience.

Now, the real question is whether these updates will be enough to bring lapsed players back or attract new ones. Only time will tell, but for those still exploring the galaxy as Kay Vess, the journey just got a little smoother.
