There's tons of hype for Bethesda's upcoming Xbox and PC sci-fi game, Starfield, which is set to release later this year. With its endless procedurally generated exploration opportunities and the long list of things to do, this single-player adventure is shaping up to be a literal game changer that provides the broadest range of freedoms we've ever seen in an open-world game up to this point. I was initially all hyped up for Starfield, but as I see more about the game, the more I feel myself distancing from it.
However, Star Wars Outlaws is also on the way to PC, Xbox, and PS5, and with each new trailer or reveal I see my excitement grows. It's got a lot in common with Starfield while also being nothing alike. For instance, your playthrough is influenced by your decisions, there are factions to join, open-world planets to explore, stealth and shooter mechanics, deep-space dog fights, and more. But the more I learn about the two games, the more it's looking like Outlaws will fulfill my sci-fi solo desires better than Starfield can.
