Ubisoft Updates Star Wars Outlaws on Switch 2, Confirms Free Demo This Year

Ubisoft delivers a first Switch 2 patch, with a free demo confirmed.

Overview

  • Title Update 1 is now live on Switch 2 with fixes for NPC spawns, traversal stickiness, tall-grass stealth behavior, and general stability.
  • Visual refinements include reduced pop-in when moving quickly or using binoculars, less smoke and lighting flicker, better edge shadows, and improved foliage and translucent materials.
  • UI and camera tweaks address controller prompt mismatches and specific movement scenarios, with additional corrections for content in the Wild Card and A Pirate’s Fortune story packs.
  • Digital Foundry calls the port the most impressive on Switch 2 so far, citing DLSS-enabled 1440p docked output, generally steady 30fps gameplay, and selective ray tracing alongside trimmed volumetrics.
  • Ubisoft says the Game-Key Card release stems from cartridge performance limits for the Snowdrop engine, requiring a full download, a move that has raised preservation concerns; a free Switch 2 demo is planned for later this year with up to three hours of Tatooine content and no save carryover.
