Xbox Game Pass is creating division among its users due to the latest release on its service. The newest free title available on Game Pass is an open-world RPG, and opinions are split on whether it is a great game, terrible, or just mediocre. However, a free game is a free game, right? Some users seem to disagree.

On X, Klobrille shared the straightforward announcement, “Star Wars Outlaws is now available with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.” This sparked a debate in the comments regarding the game’s quality. As expected, comments ranged from praise to harsh criticism, with a significant amount of indifference mixed in.

Players Torn On Star Wars Outlaws Game Pass Release

With Star Wars Outlaws now available on Game Pass Ultimate, many players are trying it for the first time, although a significant number of Star Wars fans have already experienced it. However, consensus on the game’s quality remains elusive. One user remarked on X, “Star War Jedi: Survivor is also available with Game Pass Ultimate, and it’s an infinitely better game.” Another user commented, “Horrible game,” while someone else stated, “It’s just [a] bunch of mini games on unlocking doors.“

Despite the criticism, many users defended the game. One user wrote on X, “Don’t listen to all the hate people. It’s a decent game.” Another comment read, “Great game,” and yet another exclaimed, “Really good Star Wars game after all the updates!“

Conversely, some users expressed indifference towards Star Wars Outlaws. One scathing comment stated, “If I want this mid game I’ll go buy it for $30,” while another simply remarked, “Meh.

Star Wars Outlaws Is Flawed But Fun

I tend to agree with those who describe Star Wars Outlaws as “decent.” While I found myself fatigued by stealth missions and what felt like unnecessary busywork, I still enjoyed my time with Outlaws, and the visuals are stunning.

If you already have a subscription to Game Pass Ultimate, there’s no risk in trying it out. I recommend giving Star Wars Outlaws a chance to see what it has to offer. It may not be perfect, but it’s still enjoyable — and if you’re already subscribed to Xbox Game Pass, the price can’t be beaten.
