Aspyr has finally rolled out the first major update for Star Wars: Bounty Hunter on all platforms, giving fans of the legendary Jango Fett a smoother experience. While the game retains its retro charm, this patch addresses several bugs and introduces quality-of-life improvements that modernize the gameplay just enough to keep you hooked.
What’s New in the Update?
This patch focuses on bug fixes and performance improvements, ironing out some of the most noticeable issues reported by players. Whether you’re in the heat of a blaster battle or flying through levels with Jango’s jetpack, things are bound to feel a lot more fluid.
Here’s a look at the major changes across all platforms:
Patch Notes for All Platforms:
- Fixed an issue where the controller would rumble when Montross uses his jetpack during the Chapter 6 boss fight.
- Credits now play properly after the final cutscene (because what’s a victory without seeing those names roll?).
- Updated the Controls Screen to display “Free Aim” instead of “First Person Mode”—because accuracy matters when you’re hunting bounties.
- Resolved a crash that happened after acquiring the jetpack for the first time (no more premature crashes during your ascent to greatness).
- Improved camera focus for smoother vertical movement, especially on controllers.
- Adjusted default audio settings for a better in-game experience.
- Updated parental control values in line with the PEGI 16 rating for certain regions.
- Added new cheat codes to alter the number of continues in the game—because who doesn’t love a few cheats now and then?
Xbox-Specific Fixes:
- Resolved a crash when viewing Concept Art #82 (art appreciation should never come with a game crash).
- Fixed an issue where the “A Legend is Born” achievement wasn’t unlocking after completing all other achievements.
Steam-Specific Fixes:
- Resolved an issue with GPUs not being identified correctly, making the game more stable for PC players.

With smoother controls, better camera movement, and crash fixes, you’re free to hunt your way through the galaxy without as many technical hiccups.
