Timing matters with games like this.
On January 13, Star Wars Outlaws is coming to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, opening the doors to a much wider audience across Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Cloud.
For a game built around scale, freedom, and discovery, that wider access changes the conversation.
What’s being added — and where you can play
Game Pass subscribers will be able to jump straight into Outlaws without an additional purchase, whether they’re playing locally on console or PC, or streaming via the cloud.
That matters because Outlaws isn’t a quick-hit experience. It’s a full open-world Star Wars game designed around roaming, side jobs, reputation systems, and slower-burn storytelling. Game Pass removes the friction for players who may have been curious but hesitant.
Now, curiosity is enough.
Why this matters for Star Wars games
Star Wars games have often lived in defined genres — RPGs, shooters, action-adventure — but Outlaws is different in tone. It’s grounded in the criminal underworld, focused on survival and choice rather than heroism or destiny.
Making that experience part of Game Pass signals confidence. It suggests the game isn’t just meant for the most dedicated Star Wars players, but for anyone interested in open-world exploration with a strong sense of place.
It also gives Outlaws a second wave of attention, right when word-of-mouth tends to matter most.
Open-world Star Wars works better when it’s shared
A big open-world game thrives on conversation. Players compare routes, discoveries, faction outcomes, and moments that didn’t play out the same way for someone else.
By landing on Game Pass, Outlaws becomes part of that shared ecosystem almost overnight. More players means more stories, more clips, more discussion — the kind of organic engagement that no marketing beat can replicate.
Cloud access only adds to that, letting players dip in without committing hours at a desk or console.
A smart move at the right moment
January is often a quieter month for new releases, which makes this drop feel deliberate. Instead of competing with launch-season noise, Outlaws gets space to breathe — and to be discovered by players looking for something substantial to sink into.
For Xbox and PC players, it’s one of the more significant Star Wars additions to Game Pass in years. For Outlaws itself, it’s a chance to reach the audience it was always built for: players who want to live in the galaxy, not rush through it.
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to explore the Star Wars underworld, January 13 just became that moment.
