Digital Foundry Hails Star Wars Outlaws as Switch 2’s Top Port as Ubisoft Issues First Patch

The verdict establishes a new benchmark for third‑party optimization on Nintendo’s latest hardware.

Overview

  • Digital Foundry calls the Switch 2 version “the most impressive Switch 2 port to date,” noting stronger-than-expected comparisons with Xbox Series S.
  • Image quality is boosted by DLSS to 1440p when docked, with gameplay holding a near-steady 30fps as some menus reach 60fps and cutscenes occasionally drop frames.
  • Ray tracing is present on Switch 2, while volumetric lighting and fog are modestly reduced versus other platforms.
  • Ubisoft’s first post-launch update improves clarity during fast traversal or binocular use, reduces pop-in and flickering, and enhances shadow edges and translucent materials.
  • The patch also fixes NPC spawning and traversal snags, refines stealth in tall grass, and addresses stability, camera, and UI issues; a community video suggests an advantage over Steam Deck without standardized test settings.
