Ubisoft is looking to bring a fresh spin to the Star Wars universe with open-world Star Wars Outlaws—and you can play it ahead of its full release with early access.
Early access is a trending feature in the modern day and gives players the chance to play early anticipated games a few days ahead of the official release date. Star Wars Outlaws is wise to this practice and wants budding galactic thieves to fly into space as soon as possible.
If you want to play Star Wars Outlaws early and literally steal a living, we’ve got you covered.
How to play Star Wars Outlaws early
To play Star Wars Outlaws early access, pre-order the Ultimate or Gold Edition before the official release date (Aug. 30) to acquire three full days of early access, meaning you get access on Aug. 27.
While we don’t have the exact instructions, the method of accessing Outlaws early access will likely be the same as for previous Ubisoft titles:
- Purchase a digital version of Star Wars Outlaws Ultimate or Gold Edition.
- Check your emails, or official account on the place you purchased it from, for a code for Outlaws.
- Enter it into your platforms’ storefront.
- Download the game—make sure you have enough space on the hard drive first!
- Once it’s installed, you will be able to play Star Wars Outlaws up to 72 hours before the release date.
Your desire for early access and spending more money on Star Wars Outlaws depends on how excited you are for the fresh IP. After the success of EA’s Star Wars Jedi franchise, Ubisoft is throwing its hat into the ring using its signature blend of open-world design and gratuitous collectible grabbing.
If Outlaws’ fresh take on the Star Wars universe and use of thieves as the central premise sounds appealing and you want to play it early, the Ultimate Edition is the only way to secure three days of access before its main launch.
