It's been quite a while since Ubisoft first announced that a new Star Wars game was coming from The Division developer Massive Entertainment in 2021, but now the title — revealed to be Star Wars Outlaws in 2023 during Microsoft's Xbox Games Showcase — is just a few days away from its scheduled August 30 release date. The open world adventure is expected to be one of 2024's biggest games, and ahead of its launch, its review embargo has officially lifted and critical evaluations of the experience are now live.
According to the review aggregation site Metacritic, Star Wars Outlaws has an average "Generally Favorable" score of 77/100 based on 100 reviews conducted across Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC systems. Most reviews are positive with scores in the 75-85 range, though roughly a fifth of them convey more mixed feelings. Here are some scores and quotes that'll give you an idea of the range of opinions:
