Star Wars Outlaws – From Gaming Dream to Graphics Nightmare

Star Wars Outlaws is about to be released, but the gaming community is already making fun of the open-world game's poor graphics.

HAMBURG, Germany – Star Wars Outlaws should be one of the most notable games of the year. The premise seemed promising at first. Star Wars is an open-world action game, but after the first trailers for the game were uploaded, the mood in the community changed. Is there a risk of the release failing now?

After that teaser, the Star Wars universe was still doing just fine.

Star Wars Outlaws was panned even before its release – are the graphics up to par for a mobile game?

High expectationsAfter the release of the first trailer for Star Wars Outlaws, the hype and expectations from fans were high. An open world Star Wars story, with a strong heroine in the lead role and really good graphics, impressed Star Wars fans. But what put a damper on the enthusiasm was the game’s publisher, Ubisoft.

In the past, Ubisoft has repeatedly delivered disappointing titles that felt unfinished, especially at the time of release. Star Wars Outlaws has yet to be released, yet some players already feel their assumption that they didn’t pre-order the open-world game has been confirmed. Ubisoft has also faced criticism for its new Assassin’s Creed game.

The graphics in Star Wars Outlaws leave a lot to be desired.

Star Wars fans mock the graphics: Obviously the main criticism leveled at Star Wars Outlaws footage so far is the game's graphics. There are already a number of Star Wars Outlaws memes circulating on social media. The graphics aren't that bad for a PS3 title.

The comparison has also been made several times to the mobile game, which is said to have better graphics than the latest Star Wars installment. It's not yet known how much of an impact the hate will have on Star Wars Outlaws pre-orders. The final game will be released on August 30 for PS5 and Xbox Series X. Star Wars Outlaws has also been delayed.
