In semi-related news, there is now also a demo for Star Wars Outlaws. I will definitely wait until I own a RTX 6090 to buy/play that one . The graphics are pretty great but ouch, man, the performance with a RTX 4090 is abysmally bad (4K all maxed out).

As for S&B, I actually grabbed that one on sale a while ago and "finished" it as far as that is possible in an online game like this, i.e. explored the whole map and finished all of the main missions from the pirate leaders in the various areas of the world. It is remarkably short in that regard. Past that, there is a strong focus to keep you grinding for upgrades if you want to engage in the MMO-style aspects of the game like PvP or world bosses and bullshit like that.

I had zero interest in any of that crap and uninstalled after ~40 hours when a helm mission actually involved forced PvP. On this very first forced PvP mission, I got almost insta-ganked by someone in a ship about a million times more powerful than mine, too, so you got your usual n00b-preying gankers in S&B like in all online games. Can't be bothered with BS like this in 2025 when there are so many better games to play.
