Ubisoft’s upcoming Star Wars Outlaws is just a few months away from launching on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. 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. With no official word yet about the minimum and recommended system requirements for Star Wars Outlaws PC from Ubisoft, here’s my prediction of how that would look. Since Star Wars Outlaws runs in the same game engine (Snowdrop) as Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, its system requirements might not be too far off.
Please be advised that this article will be updated once the publisher shares Star Wars Outlaws’ official PC system requirements.
Minimum System Requirements
- CPU: Intel Core i5-4690k
- Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060
- Memory: 8GB RAM
- OS: Windows 10
- Storage: Unknown
The Intel Core i5-4690K is still a capable processor for running Star Wars Outlaws PC when paired with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 and 8GB RAM. These specs should run Star Wars Outlaws in low settings at 1080p. However, it’s yet to be revealed how much storage space Star Wars Outlaws will take.
While Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment required an SSD as its minimum storage requirement over the traditional HDD, we can safely assume that Star Wars Outlaws may also require at least an SSD to run the game smoothly.
Recommended System Requirements
- CPU: Intel Core i7-6700k
- Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070
- Memory: 16GB RAM
- OS: Windows 11
- Storage: Unknown
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 2070 is still a beast of a card and can compete with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060. 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 Best 1440p PC Specs for Star Wars Outlaws
The 1440p is becoming the standard of monitor resolution these days, surpassing the good ol’ 1080p. In my best knowledge of gaming PCs, you may need the following specifications outlined below for the safest 1440p gaming PC build for Star Wars Outlaws:
- CPU: Intel Core i5-13600k
- Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 or AMD RX 6800 XT
- Memory: 16GB RAM
- OS: Windows 10/11
- Storage: SSD
The Intel Core i5 13th-gen is a powerful processor capable of handling a game like Star Wars Outlaws. With the Intel Core i5-13600k’s 5.1 Ghz max turbo single-core frequency when overclocked alongside the mighty power of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070, you will surely get a consistent 60 fps at 1440p on High settings with DLSS on.
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. I recommend the following PC specifications to run the game on Ultra settings in 4K to achieve consistent 60fps performance with DLSS/FSR:
- CPU: Intel Core i7-13700k
- Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 or AMD RX 7900 XTX
- Memory: 16GB RAM
- OS: Windows 10/11
- Storage: SSD
If your budget is tight and you can’t afford an Intel Core i9 processor, the Intel Core i7 is the best choice. While the former option can future-proof your gaming PC, the latter is still powerful enough to handle Star Wars Outlaws in 4K, especially when it’s supported by an amazing graphics card like the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 or the AMD RX 7900 XTX with DLSS and FSR functions. You will definitely get that consistent 60fps at 4K resolution in max settings on Star Wars Outlaws.
While everything outlined above is my predictions and recommendations, this article will be updated once Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment officially announce Star Wars Outlaws‘ PC system requirements.
Star Wars Outlaws will launch on August 30, 2024, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
