We’ve rounded up all the must-have information from gameplay details, multiplayer, official PC specs, and our top PCs to play to ensure you have everything you need to take on the Empire.
The Gameplay
Step into the shoes of scoundrel, Kay Vess, as she seeks freedom and a way to start a new life. Living the lifestyle of an outlaw will come with plenty of risks as you fight, steal, and outwit your way across the galaxy. Team up with your trusty companion Nix, to take down the most wanted crime syndicates. Utilise your trusty blaster, stealth, and lots of gadgets to expertly defeat (or distract) hordes of enemies.
Agree to high-stake missions from the crime syndicates as you steal valuable goods, infiltrate secret locations, and outwit your opposition. Every decision you make during these missions will influence your chances of success and your ever-changing reputation.
Your adventures will take you to the furthest corners of the galaxy in this incredible open world. Piloting your very own ship, the Trailblazer, you can explore distinct locations such as bustling cities and cantinas, or race across vibrant landscapes. Each new area will bring with it plenty of unique challenges and rewards if you’re brave enough to take the risk.
