Ubisoft outlined plans for a big Star Wars Outlaws patch that fixes some of the open-world game’s biggest weak points – and it’s all free

Changes are coming to three key areas that those who’ve played Outlaws for any extended period of time could guess, and a fourth, unexpected change. The aforementioned Julian Gerighty is no longer creative director on the title, and instead Drew Rechner has taken up the role.

The announcement was unceremoniously shared on X, with a dev update introducing Rechner, who "has recently taken the helm of Star Wars Outlaws as creative director." The new Imperial commander said the studio has been gathering data since launch and will focus on implementing feedback and continuing to grind down those lingering rough edges.

Star Wars Outlaws is an offline single-player game that came out over two months ago, but Ubisoft is increasingly treating it like a post-launch live service game with continual updates and, now, a new director.

Star Wars Outlaws has itself a new creative director, as Drew Rechner has taken over from previous director Julian Gerighty.

As of this week, Drew Rechner will be replacing Julian Gerighty on future post-launch direction of Star Wars Outlaws.
