Star Wars Outlaws: A Pirate’s Fortune DLC is a premium expansion for the acclaimed sci-fi title, Star Wars Outlaws. This DLC offers a character-driven storyline within the broader open-world setting, taking players on a compact adventure centered on mischief and discovery. While brief in length, it adds a new flavor to the game’s growing universe.

Set apart from the main storyline, Star Wars Outlaws: A Pirate’s Fortune DLC places its focus on character interaction and treasure-seeking thrills. It delivers a contained experience that complements the base game and fits comfortably alongside previous content like the Wild Card DLC.

A treasure hunt across the stars

Star Wars Outlaws: A Pirate’s Fortune DLC follows Kay Vess after she intercepts a holo-message sent by Hondo Ohnaka, mistakenly believing it was meant for her. That message sets off a chain of events leading to a chase across the galaxy in search of long-lost pirate treasure. Along the way, Kay is captured, only to meet Hondo in a shared cell and eventually team up with him. 

At one point, players find themselves navigating an enemy stronghold without access to Kay’s usual gear. This sequence introduces a stealth-based section, where relying on Nix—Kay's merqaal ally—becomes essential. It’s a deliberate shift in pace from standard third-person shooter combat, encouraging more cautious play. This design offers a refreshing challenge that contrasts well with the base game’s usual action-driven approach.

The game adds new areas for players to explore, including a nebula space zone, a pirate base, and a small hangar hub with vendors and a cantina. While the setting is compact, it still provides moments of light exploration. It’s worth noting that this expansion is fairly short and limited in content—around five hours in length. Additionally, it requires the base game to play.

A brief return for those seeking a focused side story

Star Wars Outlaws: A Pirate's Fortune DLC offers a short yet entertaining addition to the main game. While it doesn't aim to expand the universe significantly, it succeeds in delivering a well-paced, character-centric tale. For players looking to spend a few more hours in the galaxy without diving into a full campaign, this expansion provides a satisfying detour with a familiar rogue and just enough action to keep things interesting.
