"One of the most iconic scenes in the Star Wars saga is the moment Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker meet famed smuggler Han Solo in the Mos Eisley cantina. We learn everything we need to know about this slimy rogue within minutes of his first appearance. He's seated in the corner of the dank watering hole, hiding from the law and waiting for an opportunity to make some quick credits. He smugly celebrates our heroes overpaying for his services."
"In the first film, Han is the viewer's window into the ruthless, gritty side of Star Wars. The festering criminal underbelly that thrives on the outskirts of the galaxy and just under the nose of the Empire. And in 2024, Massive Entertainment made a game that turns a woefully underrepresented part of the Star Wars universe into a fun open-world crime game. And this week, it joins Xbox Game Pass at long last."
"Star Wars Outlaws is essentially the Han Solo simulator we didn't know we needed. You play as petty thief and aspiring career criminal Kay Vess, a young girl looking to climb the ranks of infamy and make some cash along the way. When a heist on an Imperial leader's home goes wrong, her big break makes her a wanted criminal. To stay ahead of the Empire, she works odd jobs for the warring criminal syndicates to ensure her survival."
The Mos Eisley cantina scene establishes Han Solo as a slimy rogue seated in a corner hiding from the law and eager to make quick credits. He smugly celebrates protagonists overpaying for his services and murders an old rival seeking to collect a bounty on his head. Massive Entertainment released Star Wars Outlaws in 2024, an open-world crime game that spotlights the franchise's criminal underbelly and debuts on Xbox Game Pass. Players control Kay Vess, a petty thief whose botched heist on an Imperial leader makes her wanted and forces her to survive by running odd jobs for warring syndicates. Gameplay blends smuggling, assassinations, piloting, and infiltrations with moments of glamorous success and comic bungling.
