Gerighty told [URL='https://www.gamesradar.com/games/open-world/star-wars-outlaws-director-is-a-little-disappointed-with-the-metacritic-score-but-plans-to-keep-improving-the-game/']GamesRadar[/URL] that Star Wars Outlaws — [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/star-wars-outlaws-review']which earned a 7/10 in IGN's review[/URL] and currently sits at a 76/100 on [URL='https://www.metacritic.com/game/star-wars-outlaws/']Metacritic[/URL] — brought him and the team a "level of pride, happiness, and sense of accomplishment" but he still wanted a better critical reception. "I'm a little disappointed with the Metacritic," Gerighty said. "Of course, recognition from press and critics is very important to us, but players are really connecting with what we did." He continued: "It's brought me so much joy to see the incredible images being captured and shared.

Star Wars Outlaws is the first open-world Star Wars game and [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/star-wars-outlaws-season-pass-roadmap-revealed-along-with-two-story-packs']already has a Season Pass announced[/URL], making post-launch support inevitable, but Gerighty seems eager to add to the experience beyond that. "This will be a game that millions of people are going to play for years and years, and we're never going to stop improving it," he said. "Well, that's a lie. We'll probably stop improving it, but today my mind is not on stopping improving it." It will ultimately be up to Ubisoft how much time is spent on Star Wars Outlaws, of course, and the publisher has already faced criticism from some fans for its practices surrounding the game. It was the latest example in an industry wide movement to charge a minimum of $109.99 to those looking to play on [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/star-wars-outlaws-release-date-revealed-alongside-a-story-trailer-teasing-the-underworlds-golden-age']its August 27, 2024 release date[/URL], with those only willing to spend the standard $69.99 forced to wait until August 30 to get started. Those who did pay more didn't all have a smooth experience either, as [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/star-wars-outlaws-patch-1000002-new-save-ubisoft']some PS5 players were forced to restart their games[/URL] following a last-minute update, and only [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/ubisoft-gives-annoyed-star-wars-outlaws-players-who-paid-to-play-early-but-lost-all-progress-a-trinket-and-some-loyalty-points-no-one-wants']received middling compensation from Ubisoft as an apology[/URL].
