Star Wars: Outlaws officially releases for everyone on August 30, 2024 – but if you’ve pre-ordered the Gold Edition, you’ll be granted early access to the game beginning on Tuesday, August 27 – even earlier if you’re living in New Zealand, where the Gold Edition goes live on Monday, August 26.
All of that is to say that Outlaws is not supposed to be out in the wild – it’s Friday, August 23 at time of writing – and yet that’s what’s happened, as someone who seemingly acquired a physical copy of the game early has been livestreaming the game on Kick.
Noted by VGC, this is a full week before the game’s intended release date, and while the videos attached to the original streamer’s account have been removed, copies of them can be found scattered throughout the internet.
It’s also worth mentioning that using Kick to for this was likely a tactical move on the streamer’s behalf, since Kick isn’t as quick as Twitch or YouTube might be at copyright striking things like this.
If you’re highly anticipating Outlaws, then consider this a warning to avoid any link or feed that alleges spoilers, because they probably are actual spoilers.
Reviewers have been sent copies of the game for the embargo that lifts on Monday (the same time it’ll be live in New Zealand) so you can expect to read PSU’s full review of the game at the top of next week.
