Is Outlaws available on Steam, Epic, PS Plus, and in the Game Pass?
Since Star Wars Outlaws is coming to PC and Xbox, many players are wondering if they can also play the open-world adventure on Steam, PlayStation Plus, or Microsoft’s Game Pass. The answer in all three cases: No!
If you want to play Star Wars Outlaws on PC, check Ubisoft directly or Epic Games. If you’re hoping for a bargain through a subscription, you’ll only have “Ubisoft+ Premium”. However, this is only the status quo at launch. Over time, Star Wars Outlaws could potentially land on Game Pass, PS Plus, or Steam.
