Release Date: November 20, 2025
A remastered version of the FPS from 1997, set in the Wild West. Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster was developed by Nightdive Studios. It offers much improved graphics and better user interface. There are also modern controls, support for 120fps & 4K and additional content.
In 1997, Lucas Arts studio released a western-themed FPS game titled Outlaws. In 1998, it received a mission pack called Handful of Missions. Years later, this project was undertaken by the Nightdive Studios team, known for refreshing beloved classics. The result of this venture is the remastered version enriched with additional content, sold under the title Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster.
Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster stands out from the original mainly due to improved graphics. The developers focused especially on the graphics of weapons, characters and enemies, and also increased the resolution of textures and cutscenes. The whole thing now operates at a maximum of 120 frames per second and in 4K mode.
Additionally, the interface was modernized (and expanded with a new weapon selection menu) and the controls were adapted to modern controllers. The icing on the cake are behind-the-scenes production materials, which we can buy for nuggets of gold earned during the game.
Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster allows us to follow the action from a first-person perspective (FPP). The game is divided into missions, during which we explore diverse locations, perform tasks set before us, and eliminate hordes of enemies.
We are given access to an arsenal that includes a 45 caliber revolver, a 44 caliber rifle with a scope, a 10 caliber shotgun, and a 12 caliber sawed-off shotgun. Given that our opponents outnumber us, more often than not, a better idea than charging at them with a battle cry on our lips is to use cover and methodically eliminate targets that stand in our way.
Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster takes us to the Wild West. The main character of the game is Sheriff James Anderson, who was not given the chance to enjoy a peaceful retirement. When his wife was murdered by bandits and his daughter was kidnapped, the protagonist had no choice but to take up arms and pursue the criminals. His goal is to save the only thing he has left in the world, and to bring justice to anyone who has harmed his family.

Game Ratings for Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster Video Game.
Games Freezer: 7 / 10 by Britt Roberts
I think that this game will be one that fans of the original will adore – it’s always fantastic to see POV-only games from the ‘90s/00’s available on console, and Nightdive are the best at what they do – but the sheer design philosophies that run through the game from the original development will be a tough sell to modern audiences that aren’t familiar with the game, and I can imagine that it’s a bit of a hard sell. Whilst there’s online multiplayer, it would have been cool to see local multiplayer included here but overall, I’m just over the moon that Outlaws is finally available to play on console, as it’s a bit of a forgotten title that has a very unique personality that still shines through today, there’s nothing quite like it out there.

Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster is a fitting tribute to an underrated gem from the glory days of FPS. As usual, Nightdive has done an excellent job of updating the game without sacrificing the original style and substance. The Outlaws remaster is one I’d suggest checking out, though you can decide for yourself if it justifies the $29.99 price tag.
