Summary
- Star Wars Outlaws, set for release on August 30, offers a fresh open-world experience within a criminal underworld.
- Three editions are available, with the Ultimate Edition priced at $129.99 and offering the most content, including exclusive cosmetics and a digital art book.

Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment's Star Wars Outlaws is one of 2024's most anticipated games, and it has finally been given a release date of August 30. As the first truly open-world Star Wars game, Star Wars Outlaws is expected to be unlike any other Star Wars title before it, especially considering it takes place in the criminal underworld and doesn't star a Jedi. Instead, Kay Vess is the protagonist, a scoundrel looking to pull off the biggest heist the Outer Rim has ever seen, which means players will likely be given the chance to experience the world of Star Wars in a way they never have before.
Pre-orders for Star Wars Outlaws have already begun and, despite some controversy surrounding a particular Jabba the Hutt mission only available to Gold and Ultimate Edition owners, pre-ordering any edition of the game comes with benefits — even the Standard Edition. As the release date for the anticipated Star Wars adventure approaches, fans may wish to know which edition is best for them, from both a price and content standpoint. Thankfully, Ubisoft and Massive have made that information readily available months ahead of Star Wars Outlaws' release.

Star Wars Outlaws Editions and Their Contents
There are three different editions of Star Wars Outlaws available for purchase: Standard Edition, Gold Edition, and Ultimate Edition. Each more expensive version of the game offers more content than the last, but every edition offers the same pre-order bonus.

The Standard Edition of Star Wars Outlaws is $69.99 and includes the base game only, unless players pre-order the game before it releases on August 30. Star Wars Outlaws' Gold Edition, on the other hand, is $109.99 and includes the base game, three days of Early Access, and the Season Pass. Finally, the Ultimate Edition of Star Wars Outlaws includes the base game, three days of Early Access, the Season Pass, the Rogue Infiltrator Bundle, the Sabacc Shark Bundle, and the digital art book for the game, all for $129.99.
With the Ultimate Edition's Rogue Infiltrator Bundle, players will receive cosmetics for Kay Vess, Nix, the speeder, and the Trailblazer spaceship. The Sabac Shark Bundle also includes cosmetics for Kay, Nix, the speeder, and the Trailblazer spaceship, but players will receive a cosmetic skin for Kay's blaster as well.
Star Wars Outlaws Pre-Order Bonus and Season Pass Explained
Both the Gold Edition and Ultimate Edition for Star Wars Outlaws provide players with the Season Pass, but they will need to pre-order the game before August 30 to get the pre-order bonus. Star Wars Outlaws pre-order bonus is actually the "Kessel Runner Bonus Pack" and includes a cosmetic pack for the speeder and a cosmetic for the Trailblazer spaceship. The Season Pass will give players access to two DLCs that will release after launch: the "Jabba's Gambit" exclusive mission and the "Kessel Runner Character Pack" featuring additional cosmetics for Kay and Nix.
Those who wish to take advantage of everything Massive's Star Wars adventure has to offer should look no further than Star Wars Outlaws' Ultimate Edition. Unfortunately, it comes at the hefty price of $129.99, which may not be everyone's cup of tea. However, pre-ordering any edition of the game will net players some bonus cosmetics that they wouldn't be able to get otherwise, so it might be worth it to purchase the game ahead of its launch.
