With two weeks to go earlier than the arrival of Star Wars Outlaws—August 30 is the massive day—Ubisoft has revealed the official PC system necessities, in addition to a rundown of PC-specific options you’ll make the most of if you happen to’ve acquired the {hardware} to deal with it.
You are going to want some fairly heavy {hardware} to run Star Wars Outlaws at its “extremely” setting, however it’s fairly forgiving on the different finish of the size. After all, one of many nice issues about PC gaming is that you may fiddle: Flip this up so you may flip that down, till you discover a stability of eye-candy and efficiency that makes you content—or, on the very least, that you may stay with till you are capable of improve your rig.

One fascinating factor is all these specs, as {hardware} author Jeremy Laird wrote earlier this month when the fundamental necessities first appeared on the Ubisoft Retailer, is that “upscaling is the brand new regular.” Even on the minimal setting you may must have DLSS, FSR, or another upscaling tech in an effort to obtain Ubisoft’s body fee targets, and the sport will likely be operating at a lower-than-spec decision after which be upscaled.
That is not an enormous deal in and of itself, however some lower-end GPUs might battle greater than anticipated—word, for example, that Intel Arc GPUs are solely listed within the “minimal” setting. In contrast to Nick, I am not a {hardware} man, however it does make me assume that perhaps the sensible play is to deal with the “really useful” spec because the minimal, no less than till the sport’s been out for some time and you’ll see the way it runs for different folks.
Anyway, talking of fiddling, this is the lowdown on PC-specific options you may discover in Outlaws—once more, the supply of which is able to rely upon the load of your iron:
- Ray-traced world illumination, reflections, and shadows
- NVIDIA RTX dynamic illumination (RTXDI) Assist
- NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 assist (ray reconstruction, Body Era, Tremendous Decision)
- Intel XESS 1.3 and AMD FSR 3.0 (upscaling and body era) assist
- In-depth customization choices
- Uncapped body fee
- 21:9 Cinematic Show Mode
- Multi-monitor and ultrawide assist
“In-depth customization choices” is a bit obscure, so this is a nonetheless from the brand new PC gameplay trailer to offer you an concept of what is in retailer:
Star Wars Outlaws is about to come back out on August 30, and will likely be accessible for PC on the Ubisoft Retailer and the Epic Video games Retailer. You will get into it as much as three days early by spending further (rather a lot further, actually) for the Gold or Final version of the sport (which additionally embody the season go and varied further cosmetics) or by subscribing to Ubisoft+.
