Players of *Star Wars Outlaws* can now breathe a sigh of relief, as the previously frustrating stealth sections have been made significantly easier. At the game’s release, one of the common grievances about Kay Vess’ journey in the expansive galaxy was the challenge posed by certain stealth encounters, which seemed unfair due to the clunky mechanics. To make matters worse, some missions included a dreaded “instant fail” condition upon detection, which many users found overly punitive and restrictive.

Thankfully, these issues should be a thing of the past. Ubisoft has announced in a blog post that the latest patch for *Star Wars Outlaws* is now live and has made the stealth mechanics more user-friendly. According to the update notes, Kay is now less likely to be spotted while rolling, and the “level of detection” has been adjusted based on location, making some areas easier to navigate stealthily. Additionally, PlayStation 5 players can now achieve the Platinum Trophy, as the “Old School Cool” Trophy bug has been resolved, allowing for a full 100% completion of *Outlaws*.
