Sony is continuing its end-of-year sales on the PlayStation Store, and among the offers visible, some are definitely worth the detour. This is the case of this cult-licensed action-adventure game, released in 2024, which went relatively unnoticed upon its release but was praised by a large proportion of players.
Its price drops suddenly: from €69.99, it goes to €20.99 until January 8 at 2:59 a.m. (French time). For a game of this scale, developed by a recognized studio, this 70% reduction is one of the largest of the period. It is also possible to opt for the Gold and Ultimate editions at a reduced price.
A galactic exploration between infiltration and freedom
The universe offered in this game is vast, lively and above all entirely accessible from the first hours. The player plays a solitary heroine, forced to make her way between criminal factions, galactic militias and interstellar betrayals.
In gameplay combining free exploration, dynamic combat, infiltration and ship piloting, the main missions intersect with numerous side quests and activities scattered across different planets. The atmosphere is reminiscent of classic science fiction films, with rich artistic direction and particular care given to the sound environment.
Solid critical reception, despite some notable flaws
Upon release, the game received an average score of 75 out of 100 according to Metacritic, based on 89 reviews. This is a respectable performance for such an exposed license. Some reviews praised its fluidity, its immersion, and the quality of writing of its secondary characters.
In the columns of PlayStation Lifestyle, the editorial staff gave it an 8/10. It read: “Although the infiltration phases can sometimes become repetitive, overall Star Wars Outlaws is an absolute delight.” The review also highlighted the game’s visual excellence: “The attention to detail is exceptional: each planet is a real pleasure to explore and the side missions offer some of the most memorable moments.”
A free demo to get an idea before buying
For those who are undecided, Sony has thought of everything: a playable demo is available for free on the PlayStation Store. It allows you to discover the introduction of the game, its combat system, and one of the first open environments. The ideal opportunity to test before you buy – or to be convinced by the unique atmosphere that this intergalactic adventure exudes.
With its deep discount, discounted special editions, free demo, and dense content, this title checks almost all the boxes. A great deal for PS5 players looking for a discounted escape.
