Ubisoft is apparently using the Force to make some PS5 players of Star Wars Outlaws restart their adventures in a galaxy far, far away. A new patch for the game–which is only available early for Gold and Ultimate Edition owners–requires people to begin again unless they want to encounter “issues and progression blockers.”
According to IGN, there are Star Wars Outlaws players on PS5 receiving a message about patch 1.000.002 that discusses their save file for the game. The 8.5GB update for Sony’s system reportedly addresses bug issues and adds a 40fps mode, but it’s also apparently causing headaches for people who have already spent hours playing Star Wars Outlaws.
Here’s the message Ubisoft has reportedly sent out:
“To best experience the Outer Rim, we rolled out a maintenance to make sure everyone is playing the latest version of the game. 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 this recent patch. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused… Once you’ve confirmed you have the latest version, please start a new save to fully enjoy Star Wars Outlaws as our team intended. If you continue on a prior save you will unfortunately face issues and progression blockers.”
