Star Wars Outlaws review

System: Switch 2
Release date: September 4, 2025
Developer: Massive Entertainment
Publisher: Ubisoft

Star Wars Outlaws may not have met Ubisoft’s sales expectations when it first released on other platforms last year, but for many fans of the franchise, it’s a dream game all the same. There are plenty of titles based on the IP where you can play as a lightsaber-wielding hero, but Outlaws pursues a different goal: making the player feel like a bounty hunter in a seedy, unsafe part of the Galaxy where trust comes at a premium and everyone wants to kill you. It’s also a very ambitious game for a device like Switch 2, so I was excited to see how the game would play on Nintendo’s new console after a year’s worth of updates and new content.

Star Wars Outlaws update

Just a few days after launch, Ubisoft has already come out with the first update for the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Star Wars Outlaws.

Various enhancements and fixes are included. Players will find clearer visuals when moving quickly through the world or using binoculars, user interface updates and performance improvements.

The full rundown is as follows:

Star Wars Outlaws graphics comparison

A new video comparison has come online for the Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series S versions of Star Wars Outlaws.

The game comes to Nintendo’s latest console after its initial launch last year. Although there were some questions about the port a bit before launch, it turns out that Ubisoft has come out with something that’s quite good. 

Star Wars Outlaws frame rate resolution

Digital Foundry just delivered its latest technical analysis for the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Star Wars Outlaws, which covers frame rate, resolution, and more.

Overall, it looks like Ubisoft did an admirable job with the port. Although there were some cutbacks, performance is stable and we’re seeing thing like ray-tracing implemented.

Here’s the full roundup of tidbits:

Like many games, Star Wars Outlaws’ physical release on Nintendo Switch is a game-key card. But now we get to hear directly from a developer about why that ended up happening.

Rob Bantin, the audio architect for Ubisoft’s Snowdrop engine, recently spoke about the situation on social media. In one post, Bantin noted that the “engine relies heavily on disk streaming for its open world environments, and Switch 2 cards didn’t give the performance needed for their quality target.” He went on to say that had Star Wars Outlaws been developed for Nintendo Switch 2 originally, “it might have been different.” Bantin added: “As it was, we’d build a game around the SSDs of the initial target platforms, and then the Switch 2 came along a while later. In this case I think our leadership made the right call.”

Star Wars Outlaws trailer

Ubisoft has come out with a launch trailer for its new Nintendo Switch 2 version of Star Wars Outlaws. Not only are you getting the main game here, but a bunch of DLC as well.

More information can be found in the following overview:

Footage of the port has been limited thus far. The title has been shown in a Nintendo Direct and developer video, but that’s pretty much it.
