Star Wars Outlaws Switch 2 Port Draws Split Early Reactions Ahead of Sept. 4 Launch

With official capture barred at PAX, a leaked docked video now shapes expectations.

Overview

  • GVG's Steve Bowling reported the PAX West media demo ran with unstable, uncapped framerates that dipped below 30fps, even in a contained early section.
  • Ubisoft did not allow direct-feed or over-the-shoulder recording during the preview, limiting independent verification of performance.
  • A 40-minute docked-mode gameplay video, apparently posted by YouTuber mataleao, surfaced days before release and offered the first extended look.
  • Wccftech's assessment of the leaked footage suggests docked mode appears to target a 30fps cap and may be acceptable on TV, though handheld performance remains unverified.
  • The mixed outlook arrives as other third-party Switch 2 ports show wide variance in optimization quality, with recent examples cited as strong or problematic depending on the title.
