Ubisoft asks Star Wars Outlaws players to restart game
Alongside the rollout of patch 1.000.002 on PlayStation 5, Star Wars Outlaws players are reportedly receiving emails from Ubisoft asking them to start new save files. According to the email, continuing with an existing save file may lead to issues and progression blockers.
"To best experience the Outer Rim, we rolled out a maintenance to make sure everyone is playing the latest version of the game," the Ubisoft email stated. "As one of the players affected who had access to an older version of the game, we are aware you might be encountering some issues after the recent patch."
The letter then apologize for any inconvenience and provide the instructions on how to check one's version of the game.
"Once you’ve confirmed you have the latest version, please start a new save to fully enjoy Star Wars Outlaws as our team intended," the letter continued. "If you continue on a prior save you will unfortunately face issues and progression blockers."
