[QUOTE="Admin, post: 62894, member: 1"] Star Wars Outlaws might be one of Ubisoft's most highly anticipated single-player games in a while, but you’ll still need an internet connection to install it. Information on the next big Star Wars game spinoff comes from its box art and pre-order information, which became available on retailer websites (like [URL='https://www.bestbuy.com/site/star-wars-outlaws-standard-edition-playstation-5/6578448.p?skuId=6578448']Best Buy[/URL]) across the internet today. Those who have already gone on to pre-purchase their copy ahead of its August launch might have glossed over the physical game case’s cover, which says “internet required to install the game” next to the ESRB rating. It means that, even if you own a physical copy, you’ll need to be connected online when booting up Star Wars Outlaws for the first time. It’s currently unclear how large the installation will be. Ubisoft confirmed with IGN that an internet connection is required to install Star Wars Outlaws and its updates, but otherwise, you'll be free to play offline. We’ve seen single-player games require an internet connection on launch day before. Another recent Ubisoft example saw players [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/avatar-frontiers-of-pandora-physical-version-requires-one-time-internet-connection'][U]connecting online to install Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora[/U][/URL].
