The galaxy far, far away is opening up like never before in Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft's ambitious open-world adventure set for launch in August 2026. While console gamers can relax knowing their PS5 or Xbox Series X|S will handle the experience, PC players face the classic question: can my rig run it? 😅 Fear not, Ubisoft has provided exceptionally detailed system requirements, complete with expected frame rates for different setups—a welcome move in an era of vague "recommended specs." Just remember, you'll need Windows 10/11 (64-bit) and an SSD; a hard drive won't cut it for navigating these outer rim worlds.

The Bare Minimum: Entry to the Galaxy 🪐

Want to just get in the cockpit? Here's what you need for a basic 1080p, 30 FPS experience on the Low preset with Quality upscaling:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 OR Intel Core i7-8700K

  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 OR AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT

  • Intel GPU Users: Arc A750 or better (with ReBar feature enabled) 💡

  • RAM: 16 GB (Crucial: use dual-channel mode! A single 16GB stick can cause issues)

  • Storage: 65 GB

This gets you playing, but don't expect a visual feast. It's the equivalent of flying a stock Y-wing—it'll get you there, but it won't be pretty.

The Sweet Spot for Most Players: 1080p & 60 FPS Bliss ✨

This is likely the target for the majority of gamers. To enjoy smooth 60 FPS at 1080p with High graphics and Quality upscaling, you'll need a solid mid-range system.

Recommended Specs (1080p/60 FPS/High):

Component Option 1 Option 2
Processor AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Intel Core i5-10400
Graphics Card NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT
Memory 16 GB Dual-Channel RAM (Same)
Storage 65 GB on SSD (Same)

This setup should deliver that perfect balance of performance and visual fidelity, letting you fully appreciate the details of cantinas and speeder chases without breaking the bank.

Stepping Up: 1440p High-Fidelity Flight 🚀

For those with a QHD monitor, the requirements jump. Achieving 60 FPS at 1440p with High settings and Quality upscaling demands more powerful components.

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X OR Intel Core i5-11600K (or comparable)

  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080/RTX 4070 OR AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT

This tier is for the discerning scoundrel who wants sharper image quality and richer worlds. It's the difference between looking at a hologram and being inside one.

Ready to see every scratch on a Stormtrooper's helmet and every star in a nebula? To max out Star Wars Outlaws at 4K resolution, 60 FPS, on the Ultra preset with Quality upscaling, you'll need a true high-end PC. We're talking flagship-level hardware.
