- Star Wars Outlaws has recently been released, and the criticism isn’t getting better.
- The criticism forced Ubisoft to disable the comments section on a launch gameplay trailer.
- It seems the studio is more interested in ignoring fan feedback instead of changing its approach.
Star Wars Outlaws has faced a lot of criticism before and after release. Hardly anyone is talking about the game, and that is seriously concerning for Ubisoft, given that it allocated the biggest budget for this game.
Many have also criticized combat mechanics. The criticism from fans is increasing daily, which seems to have become overwhelming for Ubisoft. Due to that, the gaming giant was forced to disable YouTube comments on the latest launch trailer.
Why it matters: Star Wars Outlaws is one of Ubisoft’s biggest video games, and its failure would hurt the publisher more than anyone would expect.
As you can see above, Ubisoft has disabled the comments section and likes on the launch gameplay trailer. This shows that the fandom and publisher don’t currently see eye to eye.
Star Wars Outlaws is being criticized for many reasons. One of them is that Ubisoft focuses too much on appealing to modern audiences, ignoring the feedback from those who have played its games since the early 2000s.
The other reasons range from technical problems to fundamental gameplay decisions. The game drops to as low as 720p to achieve 60FPS on modern consoles and takes over 20GB VRAM on PC at 4K resolution. Of course, this is going to frustrate the fandom.
On social media, many have also shared ridiculous bug clips that highlight poor facial animations and a lack of polish. However, acknowledging these problems would still be better than ignoring them like Ubisoft is doing.
Ubisoft has been facing criticism for a long time now, but it still refuses to listen to the fans who really matter. At this point, the publisher would be lucky if Star Wars Outlaws performed according to expectations.
Even the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows is said to be suffering from low pre-orders. This franchise typically sells millions each year, so this would be a historic downfall if the latest entry underperformed.
