A first-look trailer for Star Wars Outlaws: A Pirate's Fortune, the game's second story pack releasing on May 15, debuted at Star Wars Celebration. A free demo that features select parts of Star Wars Outlaws is now available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Ubisoft Connect, the Epic Games Store, and Steam. Plus, Star Wars Outlaws is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on September 4. The new trailer shows Kay Vess embarking on a mysterious adventure where she encounters pirates and lost treasures. Kay and her companion Nix team up with infamous pirate Hondo Ohnaka to face off against Stinger Tash and her Rokana Raiders to uncover the hidden riches within the dangerous Khepi Tomb. Along the way, they'll discover the Miyuki Trade League who offer new rewards for the Trailblazer in exchange for smuggling dangerous goods across the galaxy.

To access Star Wars Outlaws: A Pirate's Fortune, players must complete the main storyline in the base game. This second story pack will be automatically accessible and free for Star Wars Outlaws Season Pass owners, or available as a separate purchase. With the release of Star Wars Outlaws: A Pirate's Fortune, Ultimate and Deluxe Edition owners also receive the Naboo Nobility and Desert Nomad cosmetic packs. All players will be gifted cosmetic items inspired by Star Wars: Skeleton Crew as part of the Title Update launching alongside A Pirate's Fortune. After downloading and installing the update, the gift will appear in the player's delivery crate on the Trailblazer.




Embark on a mysterious adventure with Kay and Nix to explore the Khepi system and learn what it takes to be a true leader. Team up with legendary pirate Hondo Ohnaka and face off against Stinger Tash and her Rokana Raiders as you infiltrate the Khepi Tomb to uncover the secrets and hidden treasures it holds.


Fans that haven't played Star Wars Outlaws yet can access a free demo, which will be permanently available across most platforms where the game is already available. The demo gives players access to a part of the game for three hours, giving them a taste of the high-risk, high-reward life of a scoundrel.

Star Wars Outlaws is available now on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, Amazon Luna and PC via Ubisoft Connect, the Epic Games Store, and Steam. Ubisoft+ Premium subscribers have access to the Ultimate Edition.

@AsRock indeed.

When even the demo "Requires 3rd-Party Account: Ubisoft Connect launcher (Supports Linking to Steam Account)" and the reviews are overwhelmingly negative and the dev this late in the release cycle offers a 'free demo' you know things are not going well.

I dont mind linking my steam account to Ubisoft or EA, but what I will need entertaine for any reason, is thier sh!tty launchers. Untill this B$ requirement is nixed, its ALWAYS going to be a hard pass. I wouldnt even play a US/EA game if they were free due just how bad thier launchers are.
