Update:
Ubisoft reacted quickly to the emerging shitstorm and confirmed that you won't miss Jabba the Hutt even without the optional additional mission. In a statement it says: “To be clear, Jabba the Hutt and the Hutt Cartel are one of the most important syndicates in Star Wars Outlaws and will be part of the experience for everyone who purchases the game, regardless of edition. The mission 'Jabba's Gambit' is an optional, additional one Mission with the Hutt Cartel on Kay and Nix's journey through the Outer Rim. This mission will be available to those who purchase the Season Pass or an edition of the game that includes the Season Pass.”

Ubisoft's upcoming open-world action game Star Wars: Outlaws will also feature an exclusive mission centered around the well-known Star Wars character Jabba the Hutt. However, you won't be able to play this if you just buy the full version of the game. Rather, Ubisoft demands an additional investment from you.
The single-player title, for which an online connection will be required at least for installation, will also receive a season pass – and the Jabba the Hutt mission in question will only be available through this.
Details about the season pass have now been published on the official website. It says that this unlocks two additional story expansions that will be available after release – and an exclusive Day 1 mission with Jabba. There are also additional cosmetic items for Kay and Nix on board.
The fact that a mission involving a popular character is hidden behind an additional paywall right after the release of a new game is upsetting to some Star Wars fans. But the fact is: If you want to play “Jabba’s Gambit” at the launch of the action game, you have to buy the season pass. In this mission, she receives an order from Jabba the Hutt himself as she is putting together a crew for her big coup in Canto Bight. ND-5 has been in debt to Jabba for years and now the iconic character is coming to collect!
If you want to buy the season pass directly, you can get it as part of the more expensive Gold and Ultimate editions, which also grant three days earlier access to the game; We had already introduced you to the individual editions of Star Wars: Outlaws.
Star Wars: Outlaws will be released on August 30, 2024 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
There are moving images for Star Wars: Outlaws again and they whet your appetite for more. Especially since the game is scheduled to be released in just over four months on August 30th.
