Star Wars Outlaws is officially launching on August 30, 2024, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. However, with games like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor making their way to PS4 and Xbox One, many fans are wondering: Will Star Wars Outlaws also be released on last-gen consoles?
Is Star Wars Outlaws Coming to PS4 and Xbox One?
Star Wars Outlaws will not be released on PS4 and Xbox One. Ubisoft has not confirmed or announced that the game will be on the last generation of consoles. With more AAA games only released on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, it’s unlikely that Star Wars Outlaws will be released on PS4 and Xbox One.
While Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is getting a PS4 and Xbox One port, this doesn’t guarantee the same for Star Wars Outlaws. Video game development is complex, and optimizing a game for less powerful hardware takes significant time and resources. The PS4 and Xbox One lack the graphical capabilities and SSD storage speed of their successors, making it challenging to port demanding games.
Ultimately, porting Star Wars Outlaws to older consoles would require additional development time. Massive Entertainment likely prefers to focus on improving the game post-launch and adding new content.
To answer the question, Star Wars Outlaws is not planned for release on PS4 or Xbox One. The game will launch exclusively on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on August 30, 2024.
