- Star Wars Outlaws was disappointing both for the fans and Ubisoft.
- However, despite that, the game has been nominated for two Golden Joystick Awards.
- It has been nominated in two categories: Best Lead Performance and Best Audio Design.
Star Wars Outlaws received a very poor reception from the fans and a low score from the critics. On launch, the social media platforms were full of negative comments about the game.
As per the fans, the combat was too janky, and the stealth was laughable. However, despite that, the game has been nominated for two Golden Joystick Awards, which is shocking.
Why it matters: There were many great games released this year, so this latest release from Ubisoft being nominated might not sit right with the fandom.
The Golden Joystick Awards is being hosted by Gamesradar+, and just recently, Star Wars Outlaws was nominated for two awards. The game has been nominated in the Best Lead Performance and Best Audio Design categories.
The first nomination is thanks to Humberly González. She has been nominated for her role as the voice of scoundrel Kay. So, this is based on the performance of the González, which seems fair, but given the whole controversy, it might not sit well with the fandom.
The second nomination might raise some eyebrows. The game nominated for Best Audio Design seems a little too much, given that Black Myth: Wukong wasn’t even nominated for console or PC Game of the Year.
Humberly González seems very excited about her nomination, as it is a very special moment for her. Ubisoft must have also been delighted by these nominations, as the game has received a really poor reception.
The gaming giant previously revealed that Star Wars Outlaws sales were disappointing and that the developers are fixing the game to perfection. To increase sales, it will also be released on Steam next month.
The voting will be closed on 1st November, so go and vote for your favorite games now. Also, Ultimate Game of Year nominations have yet to be made, and we hope the deserving games are nominated.
