A third PS5 patch focusing on the flawed stealth elements of Star Wars Outlaws has dropped today, with this latest update designed to "give players more flexibility in how they approach situations in addition to tuning enemy AI". Instant fail stealth sections were an issue brought up repeatedly during the launch of the game, and two previous updates have worked to improve them. Now, a third PS5 update that weighs in at 3.48GB makes the way you can tackle certain main missions more flexible.
Update 1.3.0 also works to make riding your speeder a better experience, as now you shouldn't collide with objects quite as much. NPC behaviour during combat is also said to be improved, and the game will auto-save more often during hostile areas in the open world. You can view the complete patch notes through the link.
The lacking stealth elements was one of the poorer things we highlighted in our Star Wars Outlaws PS5 review, which concluded with a 6/10 rating. "Particularly in the early game, stealth sections are rendered an immediate failure if you're spotted, while quests later on demand you prevent the alarm from being raised," we said. "These objectives are far and away the most mind-numbing the game has to offer, but also the most baffling. Star Wars Outlaws has a heavy focus on stealth, but it doesn't let you pick up and hide bodies. You just leave them on the floor, hoping patrolling guards don't spot them."
