Scoundrel Kay Vess and his sidekick Nix are coming to Star Wars Outlaws on August 30, 2024. The game will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. While PlayStation and Xbox players don’t have to worry about the game running smoothly, PC players will want to know the system requirements before they buy. So, we’ve included the minimum and recommended system requirements for Star Wars Outlaws in this guide.
Ubisoft today announced the official PC specs and features for Star Wars Outlaws in a official blog post. So, if you want to know if your PC can run Star Wars Outlaws, check the system requirements below.

Officially revealed on June 11, 2023, Star Wars Outlaws has garnered a lot of buzz, mainly due to its microtransactions and limited levels. However, fans of Star Wars and open-world expeditions have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to embark on this multi-planet journey.
While Ubisoft isn’t exactly known for optimizing its games, the minimum specs for its upcoming open-world game seem manageable. My only concern is that the developers are recommending upscaler must be enabled for all presets.
That said, here are the minimum requirements for Star Wars Outlaws when running at 1080p, 30 FPS, and Low preset with upscaler set to Quality:
- Graphics Processor: GeForce GTX 1660 6GB / AMD RX 5600 XT 6GB / Intel Arc a750 8GB (ReBAR enabled)
- Processor: Intel Core i7-8700K / AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor
- RAM: 16GB (dual channel mode)
- Operating system: Windows 10/11 with DirectX 12
- SSD storage: 65 GB
While this is a minimum requirement, it seems like an affordable or older gaming PC won’t be able to handle the multi-planet threat. While I agree that an open-world game requires a good machine, there are some unnecessary specs that I think could be avoided. Especially when a port of a PlayStation game like God of War to PC requires a less capable PC.
Recommended system requirements for Star Wars Outlaws
Before we move on to the recommended system requirements, we note again that the developer wants players to use upscalers for an optimal balance of visuals and performance. NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 support (ray reconstruction, image generation and super resolution) and Intel XESS 1.3 And AMD FSR 3.0 (scaling and image generation) are supported on Star Wars Outlaws.
That said, if you want to run Star Wars Outlaws at 1080p, 60 FPS, and a high preset with the upscaler on quality, here are the recommended system requirements:
- Graphics Processor: GeForce RTX 3060 8 GB / AMD RX 6700 XT 12 GB
- Processor: Intel Core i5-10400 / AMD Ryzen 5 5600X processor
- RAM: 16GB (dual channel mode)
- Operating system: Windows 10/11 with DirectX 12
- SSD storage: 65 GB
Also, if you have the best PC and want to play with better resolution and quality, you have those options as well. Except for the CPU and GPU, there are not many changes in the specifications to make the game run at higher presets.
Avid gamers who want to run Star Wars Outlaws on a 1440p/60 FPS/High preset or Ultra 4K preset enthusiasts should check out the image below:
Although the developer claims that the game works with such settings, we should not forget that this is Ubisoft. And as mentioned above, they have a habit of offering unoptimized games to their players.
Star Wars Outlaws will also feature ray-traced global illumination, reflections, and shadows for an enhanced visual experience while supporting NVIDIA RTX Dynamic Lighting (RTXDI). Apart from this, Ubisoft has also promised an unlimited frame rate mode, as well as a 21:9 cinematic display mode and multi-monitor and ultrawide support.
