Star Wars Outlaws Lands at the Right Time
Star Wars Outlaws is a notable addition. Released in 2024 to generally positive reviews, it lets players step into the grimy boots of Kay Vess, an outlaw navigating the criminal underworld across multiple planets. The game’s open-world design and reputation system make it a compelling pick for those who want a sandbox that reacts to their choices. Its arrival on PS Plus gives it a second wave of players.

Whether you prefer crashing through feudal Japan, surviving in post-apocalyptic America, or roaming a galaxy far, far away, the Game Catalog has a world for you.
