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. In fact, one of many nice issues about PC gaming is which you could fiddle: Flip this up so you’ll be able to flip that down, till you discover a steadiness of eye-candy and efficiency that makes you content—or, on the very least, which you could dwell with till you are in a position to 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 will must have DLSS, FSR, or another upscaling tech as a way to obtain Ubisoft’s body charge targets, and the sport will probably be working 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 could battle greater than anticipated—notice, as an illustration, that Intel Arc GPUs are solely listed within the “minimal” setting. Not like Nick, I am not a {hardware} man, however it does make me suppose that possibly the good play is to deal with the “beneficial” spec because the minimal, no less than till the sport’s been out for some time and you may see the way it runs for different individuals.
Anyway, talking of fiddling, this is the lowdown on PC-specific options you will discover in Outlaws—once more, the provision of which is able to depend upon the burden of your iron:
- Ray-traced international illumination, reflections, and shadows
- NVIDIA RTX dynamic illumination (RTXDI) Help
- 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 charge
- 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 return out on August 30, and will probably be out there 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 (quite a bit further, actually) for the Gold or Final version of the sport (which additionally embrace the season go and numerous further cosmetics) or by subscribing to Ubisoft+.
