Though the release date for Massive Entertainment's 'GTA in Space' is not far off, you can get your mechno-arms all over it even sooner, as we know how to play it ASAP – so let’s look at just when Star Wars Outlaws early access starts.
We’ll touch on it more later on, but it's safe to say the reception from the gaming community on how you go about doing this (and how much it will set you back) has been icier than your toes on Hoth.
You could say it caused something of a disturbance in the Force…

But with so little time until Star Wars Outlaws' early access, let’s get to it!
Star Wars Outlaws early access starts at 11pm BST on 26th August for PC and 12am BST on 27th August for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
The PC launch follows a slightly different timetable to consoles for some reason, with PC players getting an additional hour of early access.
Hopefully, a new front on the console wars doesn’t open up over this. Though, perhaps it can unite PlayStation and Xbox in the wake of Microsoft titles coming to other platforms…
Nevertheless, that’s the perilous situation Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft has put us all in. We’ll see you on the other side!

There was quite a bit of controversy over these editions owing to their rather high asking prices. The Gold Edition has an MSRP of £94.99 and the Ultimate Edition has an eye-watering asking price of £114.99.
If you are on Xbox, you can pick up a cheaper version of the game through CDKeys, which we have listed below:
