Star Wars Outlaws has been awarded a “Teen” rating from the ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board), and with it we learn that we will be able to play the card game Sabacc using in-game money to bet against other players.
Sabacc was confirmed in the ESRB rating thanks to the gambling component of the card game with the rating summary saying that “players can wager in-game currency on Sabacc, a blackjack-like card game with detailed rules.” The fact that Sabacc is in the game shouldn’t come as a huge surprise given Kay Vess’ smuggler profession and the fact that we could see her playing Sabacc in the cinematic trailer that first announced the game close to a year ago, but the question of whether or not players could actually play Sabacc or if it’d just be a prop is one that’s popped up time and time again. People were asking about it even as recently as this week since the new story trailer just dropped, but it seems we now have our answer.
And while the ESRB description does suggest that Sabacc will have some detailed rules to follow, the fact that it’s been compared to blackjack should be a good sign for those who prefer mini card games like this to be on the lighter side in games. If it truly is like blackjack, it doesn’t sound like players will have to worry about collecting cards and building a deck since you should, based on this description, be able to just sit down and play to earn some quick money if you win.
about the game. The rating for Star Wars Outlaws, however, actually gave us some useful information this time by confirming suspicions that players will indeed be able to play the card game Sabacc while wagering their in-game money.
