Our PS5 Pro review just dropped and within it I detail a bunch of ways in how developers are using the PS5 Pro and PlayStation’s new PSSR AI upscaling to get the best out of their games and one of the best examples was Star Wars Outlaws.

Star Wars Outlaws is an offline single-player game that came out over two months ago, but Ubisoft is increasingly treating it like a post-launch live service game with continual updates and, now, a new director.

Ubisoft Creative Director Drew Rechner has announced an upcoming overhaul for Star Wars Outlaws, promising major changes to the game systems.

The developers behind Star Wars Outlaws lay out their three primary focus areas for improving the open-world Star Wars game in future update patches.

As part of its ongoing effort to turn Star Wars Outlaws into a game that more people might actually want to buy, Ubisoft has rolled out its first developer update, revealing that creative director Julian Gerighty has been replaced as creative director by The Division and Avatar veteran Drew Rechner.

The announcement was unceremoniously shared on X, with a dev update introducing Rechner, who "has recently taken the helm of Star Wars Outlaws as creative director."

Ubisoft has shared a developer update for Star Wars Outlaws, and with it comes the news that Drew Rechner, a Massive Entertainment veteran whose credits include Associate Game Director for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and Tom Clancy's The Division 2: Warlords of New York,

Outlaws' Creative Director Drew Rechner has teased the game will be receiving its "biggest update yet" in Title Update 1.4 on 21 November.
