Microsoft‘s Windows 11 version 24H2 has basically killed several Ubisoft games.As reported by VGC, Microsoft has acknowledged that the update affects five Ubisoft games: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Assassin’s Creed Origins, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and Star Wars Outlaws.These are all major Ubisoft open-world games, so there’s a chance you already have one. Microsoft’s support page notes “These games might become unresponsive while starting, loading or during active gameplay.

Star Wars Outlaws has reportedly only sold one million copies since its release in August.According to Insider Gaming, “sources close to the game” have confirmed that it has only sold one million copies since it launched over a month ago. It did have several issues at launch, and even required fans who had pre-ordered and gotten early access to restart their save files, so some gamers may be waiting until the issues are ironed out to purchase it.Assassin’s Creed Mirage has sold five million units three months after it launched, Insider Gaming claims, so this result from Star Wars Outlaws is much lower.

Star Wars Outlaws only jsut came out, but it’s already gotten a new patch. Here’s everything it changes.Star Wars Outlaws launched with some technicaly difficulties, as reported in many of the game’s mixed reviews.

Star Wars Outlaws is the hotly anticipated open-world game fans of the franchise have been begging for for years, and its creative director has revealed his biggest inspiration for the game came from Sony’s Ghost of Tsushima.In an interview with GamesRadar+, creative director Julian Gerighty said, “It’s super interesting because my biggest reference was Ghost of Tsushima, which is more on the Kurosawa side of inspiration than the Western, the John Ford side of the inspiration for George Lucas.”Star Wars is clearly inspired by Westerns, and Westerns themselves are often inspired by Samurai movies and vice versa, so it’s interesting to see how all these references will be at play within Star Wars Outlaws. Akira Kurosawa, a filmmaker who inspired the aesthetic of Ghost of Tsushima, even studied the work of John Ford.“Red Dead Redemption is phenomenal, [because it treats] the world as a world – not as a checklist of activities that are repeated often,” said Gerighty.

Star Wars Outlaws drew the ire of fans recently when it was revealed its ultimate edition would cost £115. Now, people have noticed that there’s an “exclusive” Jabba the Hut mission locked behind purchase of the season pass.As noted by NME on April 11, an exclusive mission titled Jabba’s Gambit will be available at launch, but only for players who purchase either the gold or ultimate edition of the game; they both include the season pass which grants access to Jabba’s Gambit.Ubisoft has now responded to the further backlash caused by people noticing that a mission may be unavailable for people who just buy the £60 base version of Star Wars Outlaws.“The ‘Jabba’s Gambit’ mission is an optional, additional mission with the Hutt Cartel along Kay and Nix’s journey across the Outer Rim,” a Ubisoft spokesperson told Eurogamer.

Star Wars Outlaws is largely influenced by the practicalities of movie-making in the 1970s, as well as the series’ iconic “visual language of reduction”.Revealed in the Xbox Games Showcase last month, Star Wars Outlaws is “set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi”. Not only are the narrative and characters rooted in the original movie trilogy, but the creative director Julian Gerighty has said that everything that the player sees in the game will feel like it’s been lifted from one of the sets.In an interview with EDGE Magazine, Gerighty shared that Ubisoft Massive took the time to develop technology that “emulates some of the lenses of the ’70s” to create a grainy and gritty Star Wars game.“So you have the vignetting, film grain, lens breathing, the curvature of a thicker lens, the slight lens flares – all of these things that are very subtle, but come together to give you a more cinematic experience,” explained Gerighty.Expectedly, these effects are likely to be optional so that players are able to switch settings.
