Nothing disrupts the criminal underworld like a glitchy contract. Ubisoft just rolled out Hotfix 6.1 for Star Wars Outlaws, and while it’s not the flashiest update in the galaxy, it’s a much-needed patch for players tired of watching job offers mysteriously vanish or missions fail just because they dared to save the game. The nerve, right?
If your galactic hustle’s been stalled by unreliable brokers and contracts that collapse faster than a stormtrooper’s aim under pressure, this update is aimed squarely at you.
Let’s break it down.
Contract Woes, Be Gone
Hotfix 6.1 goes straight to the heart of a recurring issue: jobs offered by certain brokers would become mysteriously unavailable after a while. One minute you’re gearing up to smuggle spice or intercept a shady deal, the next… crickets.
Ubisoft has now stabilized the system so these contracts don’t suddenly ghost you mid-playthrough. This should make the Outer Rim economy slightly less sketchy—well, sketchy in the way it should be, not because of bugs.
Even better, the fix also resolves situations where contracts would outright fail after saving or loading the game. Because nothing says immersion-breaking like coming back from dinner only to find out the job failed while you were gone.
Xbox Players: Your Save Isn’t Really Missing (Probably)
Some Xbox players may have noticed a terrifying message: “Content Missing” when trying to load Story Pack 2 saves.
First reaction: panic. Second reaction: try rebooting.
Ubisoft confirms that while the issue is still under investigation, restarting the game should solve the problem for now. It’s not a perfect fix, but at least your progress hasn’t been wiped by a Sith data gremlin.
The devs are on it, and in the meantime, the galaxy’s (mostly) safe.
How to Report More Bugs (Without Screaming into the Void)
Still seeing weird bugs in your outlaw adventures? Ubisoft wants to hear from you—but not in a rage-fueled rant on social media.
Instead, they’re pushing players to use the Bug Reporter tool, where you can officially track issues, submit reports, and check the status of fixes. It’s like a mission board, but for bugs instead of bounties.
It’s a good way to be part of the fix, especially if you’re running into oddities that haven’t made it onto the devs’ radar yet.
So, What’s Not in This Update?
Let’s be clear: this is a hotfix, not a full-blown patch. So don’t expect sweeping balance changes, new content, or galactic sandbox expansions. This one’s all about stability and functionality—especially around those story-critical job systems.
If you were hoping for new vehicles, bounty systems, or a surprise Boba Fett cameo, well… you’ll have to keep waiting. But hey, at least your contracts will behave like contracts now. That’s something.
Conclusion: A Small But Mighty Update
Hotfix 6.1 may not change the face of Star Wars Outlaws, but it does smooth out some of the more frustrating speed bumps players have been running into—especially around contracts and mission continuity.
With cleaner job systems, fewer sudden mission collapses, and a semi-reliable workaround for Xbox’s save bug, the Outer Rim is a little less buggy than it was yesterday. And in a galaxy where chaos is the norm, that’s a win worth taking.
So go ahead, reboot the game, line up your next shady gig, and get back to causing mischief across the stars—with fewer technical hiccups this time.
