Star Wars Outlaws is definitely one of our most-anticipated Xbox titles at the moment, with its release less than three months away, and we've been seeing a whole bunch of great footage from the Ubisoft title over the past few days.
We also now know how long of an experience it'll be. In an interview with VGC, creative director Julian Gerighty confirmed that we're looking at around 25-30 hours, while completionists can expect to double that.
"Very, very early on, we decided this is going to be a 25, 30 hours golden path adventure, 50 hours, 60 hours for completionists, and that is, for a guy with a family and a job, it’s still a fair amount of time."
Gerighty then went on to mention how limiting the game to a 30-hour standard length instead of a 200-hour Assassin's Creed epic means that Outlaws' smaller team can focus on the detail and "executing something that is manageable".
In terms of the hands-on previews we've been seeing so far, they've been quite mixed in regards to whether the game is shaping up well or not, so there's even more intrigue surrounding this one now. Pure Xbox's own Craig Reid has been hands-on with Outlaws as well, and soon as he's back from LA, we'll bring you his impressions!

Pretty good time scales there if I may say.
Can't wait to run around as a scoundrel! Preordered, which is unusual for me especially for an Ubisoft title.
Starfield DONE RIGHT! Looking forward to trying this via low-priced-and-undervaluing-the-product-Subscription-service, but wish it was 1st person view
Sounds pretty great to me on paper, with the caveat that it needs to match the story/content and not let the gameplay loop get tired.
Most Assassins Creed games can be completed in 25-30hours too - its just all the side missions, mini-games and repeated 'filler' stuff that adds to the playtime for completionists.
It looks OK to me so far
Hopefully it's good and not just assassin's creed with a star wars skin on
I like both 30 hs games and 200 hs games. So I would be glad either way.
That sounds fairly decent to me. Perhaps a bit long, but of course it comes down to quality vs quantity.
Still no confirmation on the framerate on consoles
Not surprised... typical Ubisoft. I'm playing Far Cry 6 and I almost fainted when I opened the map because it's so huge (that's why FC Blood Dragon is the best FC in my point of view!)
I like Ubi games, but they should think about making smaller games, for the sake of the players and... their development teams.
"means that Outlaws' smaller team can focus on the detail"
like her hair, please put in a ponytail option. i'll check on this game after i finish stalker 2, avowed, indy jones.
It seems to be right in the middle in terms of open world game length and I'm all for it. I think this one is going to delight fans.
The lengths sound good, but I care almost as much about the quality of the side content. Is it an extra 30 hours of just running around the map picking up collectables, or are there interesting quests/stories out there to find? I willing to accept way more side content in Bethesda games because so much of that is in the form of things like faction quest lines, which are way better than just killing 6 guys in a bandit camp and opening a couple chests.
Either way, I'll keep an eye on how this reviews and consider playing it down the line.
I am soooo hyped about this game.
Day one for me.
