Ubisoft has sent an email telling players that in order to curb issues caused by Early Access, they will have to delete their save files:

Hello To best experience the Outer Rim, we rolled out a maintenance to make sure everyone is playing the latest version of the game. As one of the players affected who had access to an older version of the game, we are aware you might be encountering some issues after this recent patch. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
To solve the issue, please make sure you are playing Version 1.000.002. Here's how to check your version:

1. From the game tile, select "Options".
2. Go to "Information".
3. On the Version line, locate the version number.

Once you've confirmed you have the latest version, please start a new save to fully enjoy Star Wars Outlaws as our team intended. If you continue on a prior save you will unfortunately face issues and progression blockers.

Damn, this game came in hot

 

[ReBurn]

Can't be forced to delete a save if you haven't played the game yet.

 

[BigDaddyCool]

Glad I'm not playing til it's $5 and fully patched

Fully patched... that's a good one

 

[adamsapple]

woooooooooooooowwwwwwwww

 

[Bernardougf]

Early adoption its just not a smart option. In case of this game.. any adoption
... but you know...

 

[jshackles]

Fully patched... that's a good one

I mean, if Ubisoft is still updating this game in 2-3 years, I'll be shocked

 

[Quantum253]

Remind me, was Outlaws one of the titles you could pay more to play earlier than launch date? And if so, did they just pay extra to beta test?

 

[Evolved1]

you cannot make this shit up.

 

[Skifi28]

Let me guess, this is some ultra expensive version of the game for the privilege of playing with all the bugs before anyone else?

 

[LordCBH]

This game was made by fucking clowns. Holy shit.

Yeah, today is the beginning of the early access period. The game officially comes out on Friday.

[Lunarorbit]

$109.99 for the gold edition which gives you access today I believe.

 

[BennyBlanco]

 

[Quantum253]

That's unfortunate for those who have already dropped a large portion of time in it, and probably start occurring frequently as the practice increases.
At least Ashes of Creation is upfront about paying for the privilege to test

 

[lh032]

This is why you don't buy ubisoft games day 1

 

[Lokaum D+]

pay more for early access, has to delete save cause early access bug, i couldn't care less, so good to see dumb ppl getting fucked.

remember kids FOMO is a bad thing.

 

[Metnut]

Imagine paying extra money for the privilege of playing a bugged game that deletes your save to "update"

 

[Dorfdad]

Yes but you get to play it twice if you're a ps5 player so it's a win win right??

 

[Saber]

I won't even laugh this time. This is ridiculous.

 

[skyfinch]

Fuck this. I'm gonna go play Concord until they fix this bullshit!

 

[TheAtomicPile]

As a consumer, if you're going to pay the idiot tax on an early release game or a pre-order, you have to at least make sure it's a game coming from a studio with a track record for quality releases. In other words, not Ubisoft.

 

[TommyCronin6969]

I thought Early access was meant in the literal sense not the virtual unfinished sense.

Imagine if you were one of those Physical Play on 1.0 whores.

I was a 1.0er on No Man's Sky

[Punished Miku]

Bugs happen but anyone that paid for Early Access should have that part refunded. It was literally voided.

 

[Codeblew]

Paying more to beta test. Got to love it.

 

[RoboFu]

 

[ArtHands]

You're better off spending that cash on Concord instead

 

[BlackTron]

Will this teach people that there's no point to preordering a game much less paying extra for early access?

Of course not!

 

[TheAtomicPile]

Interesting range of reactions on reddit, including:

- This sucks.
- The intro was fun! I'll have FUN playing it AGAIN!!!
- It's actually great that they caught such a big issue in 24 hours! Thanks Ubisoft!

[Kurotri]

Now this, this is actual proper *bullshit*. This news needs to blow up. Utterly ridiculous.

 

[a multicultural team of v]

What the fuck happened to Massive

 

[salva]

100% would be demanding a refund if that was me, that's ridiculous

 

[FoxMcChief]

Xbox doesn't have to do this because no one buys Xbox games.

 

[april6e]

Star War games are cursed. Jedi Survivor 1 is the only decent one to have been released in over a decade.

 

[sigmaZ]

What the fuck happened to Massive

Seems like their games have seen a massive dump in terms of quality.

 

[Complistic]

Ubisoft, LOL

[StereoVsn]

Oh, wow, Ubisoft. Bravo, bravo! Also, I am glad it happened to just reiterate to people who pre-order this shit to quit that.
