It offers up to three hours of play, Ubisoft says, but this isn\u2019t the full game.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The demo lets you spend time in a section of Tatooine, with some main story material and side activities mixed in. It should be enough to get a sense of how the game handles stealth, blaster fights, speeder travel, and open-world exploration. And despite a few posts floating around online, Ubisoft isn\u2019t giving away the <strong>entire game<\/strong> here. This looks like a regular demo, not some short-lived free giveaway.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve been interested but didn\u2019t want to pay full price without trying it first, this is an easy one to check out. You\u2019d be sampling a game Ubisoft launched on <strong>August 30, 2024<\/strong>, with Gold Edition, Ultimate Edition, and Ubisoft+ players getting in earlier on August 27. Ubisoft says the story follows Kay Vess and Nix in the gap between <em>The Empire Strikes Back<\/em> and <em>Return of the Jedi<\/em>, moving across Tatooine, Kijimi, and Akiva while they deal with criminal syndicates and chase a big score.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s also fair to go in knowing the response was mixed. You\u2019ve probably seen the generally positive reviews, along with complaints about bugs, technical issues, and an overall lack of polish. Ubisoft said in <strong>October 2024<\/strong> that sales came in below expectations, even while the company kept backing Star Wars Outlaws with updates and the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/wild-card-football.en.softonic.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Wild Card<\/a><\/em> and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/star-wars-outlaws-a-pirates-fortune-dlc.en.softonic.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">A Pirate\u2019s Fortune<\/a><\/em> story expansions.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The demo is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through <a href=\"https:\/\/steam.en.softonic.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Steam<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/epic-games-store.en.softonic.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Epic Games Store<\/a>, and Ubisoft Connect, according to Ubisoft.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ubisoft has released a free Star Wars Outlaws demo on PS5.
