What’s To Blame For Star Wars Outlaws Flopping?

ED-E2h ago

Not when the devs and qa have to rush through the beta stage. Projects of these size need 6 months in beta, but i doubt they got more than 2. I don’t know why, maybe funding of project was running out, marketing has already been placed and paid wordlwide, who knows. While Ubisoft seems a poster child for these kinds of problems, they had games which weren’t that messy out of the gate (Far Cry 5, Valhalla).

Some publishers are surely better than others. Nintendo, Sony, FromSoftware might have their black spots but are overall reliable to deliver open world games without the need to make substantial improvements via post release patches.

I played through Outlaws last week and really enjoyed it, but yes it was also really rough around the edges. While I don’t like to see it to fail like it did, it is necessary for future Ubisoft open world games to not cut corners any more. But I will replay Outlaws once all dlcs and patches have been dropped for sure.
