Ubisoft Angers Star Wars Outlaws Players on PlayStation 5
Although this issue appears to only be impacting a handful of users with no reports ofStar Wars Outlawsplayers on PCor Xbox being prompted to delete their saved data, it has angered those dealing with the game-breaking bug. Over on Twitter,user Fabio Vincentcomplained to Ubisoft that they only had 30 minutes of playtime when the game updated, but they weren’t told by the studio to restart their progress until they had accumulated another 4 hours in-game.
There’s no denying that this is a serious issue for players who have been forced to restart their progress, but thankfully,Star Wars Outlaws’runtimeis said to be relatively short compared to other recent releases. For players simply wanting to completeOutlaws’main story, it’s said that this can be accomplished within 25 hours, but for those looking to take on every side quest and all extra content, it’s likely to take quite a bit longer.
