Verified Footage Points to Solid Switch 2 Port of Star Wars Outlaws Ahead of Release

A 35-minute VGC playthrough using Ubisoft-provided code offers the clearest look yet at performance on the new hardware.

Overview

  • The game launches on Nintendo Switch 2 on September 4, 2025, with all previously released DLC included.
  • Hands-on coverage from VGC and Nintendo Life reports largely steady docked play with occasional drops, while handheld runs at lower resolution with more variable but playable performance.
  • Nintendo Life says the build it played looks far better than low-frame official trailers and early event impressions suggested.
  • Unverified ‘in the wild’ videos from YouTuber Mataleao show both docked and handheld modes, helping set expectations ahead of reviews.
  • Some reports note Switch 2’s dedicated ray-tracing hardware as a potential edge over handheld PC devices that struggled with the game, though details like VRR support remain unclear.
