Star Wars Outlaws will feature loads of PC-exclusive features and NVIDIA's RTX GPUs will be able to deliver the best quality within the title as the game supports full ray tracing support (RTGI Global Illumination, RT Reflections & RT Shadows) alongside DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction, RTXDI (Dynamic Illumination) and also NVIDIA Reflex to ensure a very smooth gaming experience without Latencies drawbacks.

Next, as part of our collaboration with Ubisoft, Massive Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games on Star Wars Outlaws, we’re introducing a new Star Wars Outlaws GeForce RTX 40 Series Bundle, available until September 19. Learn more.

This will let you experience all the benefits of the RTX technology in Star Wars Outlaws. From DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction, to RTX Dynamic Illumination and NVIDIA Reflex, players will get more frames, lower latency and more beautiful sights of a galaxy far, far away. And even those without access to GeForce RTX 40 series GPUs can have the same experience thanks to GeForce NOW.

As for what it will take to run the game on Ultra quality, the PC system requirements published by Massive Entertainment show that the game will require a beefy setup. For maxed-out details, Star Wars Outlaws will require top-of-the-line GeForce RTX 4080 (16 GB) or Radeon RX 7900 XTX (24 GB) GPUs. Considering that ray tracing is involved, it's best to go for NVIDIA's RTX GPUs since those have a lot more RT performance packed within the cores. Interestingly, Massive Entertainment advises users to run the game with upscaler enabled across all resolutions and that it should be set to the Quality preset.

The good thing is that the game will feature support for all three major upscalers including NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 (Frame Gen), FSR 3.0 (Frame Gen), and XeSS 1.3. Following is the full list of PC features to expect from the game at launch:

Earlier, Intel had also confirmed to be the CPU launch partner of Ubisoft's upcoming AAA title. The Snowdrop engine will be specifically optimized for Intel's 14th Gen CPUs though the 14th Gen CPUs themselves are undergoing optimization work to ensure stability to gamers after countless months of issues. The optimizations will likely be available through APO which can deliver double-digit gains. The game launches soon so we will have a performance evaluation post for it ready soon!
