Star Wars Outlaws is a third-person, open-world action-adventure developed by Massive Entertainment, the studio behind Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Set between the films Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Kay Vess aims to pull off the greatest heist of all time to get her one shot at freedom.
If you plan to buy Star Wars Outlaws on PC, you’ll want to ensure your system can run it. Ubisoft has shared the official Star Wars Outlaws PC system requirements recently.
Minimum System Requirements
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 @ 3.6 GHz, Intel Core i7-8700K @ 3.70 GHz, or better

- Memory: 16 GB (dual-channel mode)
- OS: Windows 10, Windows 11, DirectX 12
- Storage: 65GB SSD
The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and Intel Core i7-8700K are still a capable processor for running Star Wars Outlaws PC when paired with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 and 16 GB RAM. These specs should run Star Wars Outlaws in low settings at 1080p, 30fps with upscaler set to Quality.
Recommended System Requirements
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X @ 3.7 GHz, Intel Core i5-10400 @ 2.9 GHz, or better

- Memory: 16 GB (dual-channel mode)
- OS: Windows 10, Windows 11, DirectX 12
- Storage: 65GB SSD
Star Wars Outlaws has a massive open-world environment, so making the game run consistently at 60fps in high settings on a 1080p resolution might pose a challenge; however, the recommended specs outlined can overcome that obstacle. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT (12GB) are still a beast of a card. But if your budget can afford either an RTX 3000 or 4000 series, get one of those instead to future-proof your gaming PC.
The game can run at 1080p, 60fps, high graphical presets with upscaler set to Quality when using the recommended system requirements outlined above.

The Best 4K PC Specs for Star Wars Outlaws
4K resolution with 60fps in high/ultra graphics is the ultimate dream for every PC gamer out there. Star Wars Outlaws is developed on Ubisoft’s in-house game engine, Snowdrop, like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, which means it would require a beefy gaming PC to run the game smoothly in 4K at 60fps. Ubisoft recommends the following PC specifications to run the game on Ultra settings in 4K to achieve consistent 60fps performance with DLSS/FSR:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D @ 3.4 GHz or Intel Core i7-12700K @ 3.8 GHz

- Storage: 65 SSD
If your budget is tight and you can’t afford an Intel Core i9 processor, the Intel Core i7 is the best choice.

Ubisoft suggests the PC specs outlined above to run Star Wars Outlaws in 4K (2160p) at 60fps, Ultra graphical settings with upscaler set to Quality.
