URGENT UPDATE: Excitement builds as new footage of Star Wars Outlaws running on the Nintendo Switch 2 surfaces just days before its launch on September 4, 2025. Developer Ubisoft has released minimal previews, leaving fans anxious about the game’s performance on the less powerful console compared to its counterparts.
New videos uploaded by YouTube user Mataleao reveal significant insights into the game’s graphics and performance. The gameplay showcases both docked and handheld modes, with docked gameplay appearing relatively solid, despite some frame drops. Handheld mode, however, raises concerns due to lower resolution and variable performance.
Fans are reacting positively, with many expressing surprise at the game’s quality. One viewer commented, “It looks way better than I anticipated,” while another noted, “it’s a lot better looking and performing than on the Steam Deck.” This feedback highlights a growing sense of optimism ahead of the game’s official release.
The Switch 2 version of Star Wars Outlaws comes after the game has already made its mark on platforms like Xbox Series X|S and PS5, where it has received a Metascore average of 76/100. Critics have praised its storytelling and aesthetics, though some have pointed out technical issues and rigid stealth sections, many of which Ubisoft has addressed since launch.
As anticipation builds, players are particularly focused on the handheld performance, especially given the struggles seen on other handheld gaming devices such as the Steam Deck and Asus’ ROG Ally. Concerns stemmed from the lack of dedicated ray-tracing hardware, which Switch 2 possesses, raising hopes for improved graphics and performance.
With the release just around the corner, fans are eager to see if Star Wars Outlaws will meet their expectations on the Nintendo Switch 2. The integration of all previously released DLC adds further excitement as players prepare for a new adventure in a galaxy far, far away.
