Xbox Game Pass users are always looking forward to seeing new games getting added to their library, and they currently have their eyes set on Star Wars Outlaws.
But is Star Wars Outlaws on Game Pass? Or will users need to buy the full game separately to enjoy it? In this ONE Esports guide, we’ll answer this question in detail.
Is Star Wars Outlaws on Game Pass?
The short answer is no, Star Wars Outlaws will not be available on Game Pass, at least at launch. The game’s developers have also shared no plans to add it to Microsoft’s subscription service.
Xbox Game Pass users often enjoy new titles upon their release. Most of the titles that get added are mainly owned by Microsoft.
However, there have been times when the company has been able to make a deal with third-party developers and add their games to the subscription on day one.
Because of this, many users were hoping to see Star Wars Outlaws on Game Pass on day one. However, at the moment, there’s no chance of this happening.
Why is Star Wars Outlaws not on Game Pass?
The reason why Star Wars Outlaws won’t be on Game Pass is because it is one of the biggest games of this year and is owned by Ubisoft.
According to the developers, it will be the first ever open-world Star Wars game and the biggest one in the franchise. So, Ubisoft sees no point in including it in the Game Pass for now.
However, this does not mean we won’t ever see it on the service. We can expect Ubisoft to make a deal with Microsoft a few months after the launch.
It is important to keep in mind that Star Wars Outlaws will be available through Ubisoft+ Premium, which is kind of Ubisoft’s own game pass.
It costs $17.99 per month and allows its members to access the premium editions of new Ubisoft titles on day one, so you can get access to Star Wars Outlaws Ultimate Edition through it.
