Ubisoft has responded to the backlash regarding Jabba the Hutt in Star Wars Outlaws and how some of the content is exclusive to the season pass. In a statement, Ubisoft said only one mission, “Jabba’s Gambit,” is exclusive to the season pass.
The rest of the villain’s storyline is available for everyone. The paywalled mission is entirely optional and only represents one part of Jabba’s involvement in Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft said.

Now Playing: Star Wars Outlaws: Official Cinematic Story Trailer
“Jabba the Hutt and the Hutt Cartel are one of the main syndicates in Star Wars Outlaws and will be part of the experience for everyone who purchases the game, regardless of edition,” a spokesperson told IGN. “The ‘Jabba’s Gambit’ mission is an optional, additional mission with the Hutt Cartel along Kay and Nix’s journey across the Outer Rim.”
This specific mission is available to everyone who buys the Outlaws season pass or any edition of the game that comes with the season pass. The season pass also comes with two DLC packs coming after launch that feature “new stories, quests, and areas to discover.” It also comes with the Kessel Runner character pack that includes more cosmetics for Kay and Nix. Pricing for the season pass alone has seemingly not been published as of yet, but the Gold edition ($110) and the Ultimate edition ($130) include the season pass.
The Jabba’s Gambit mission involves players taking on a job from Jabba where they must collect a debt from ND-5 droid. After this mission’s existence came to light, some people voiced their frustration over a story mission being locked behind a paywall.
Ubisoft has said buying the Star Wars Outlaws season pass or a premium edition that includes it is the only way to play the Jabba’s Gambit mission “at launch.” This wording suggests Ubisoft might make this mission playable to everyone at a later date, though this is not confirmed.
Star Wars Outlaws releases on August 30, but everyone who buys the Gold edition or the Ultimate Edition can play three days early, beginning August 27. For more, check out GameSpot’s Star Wars Outlaws preorder guide.
