Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft’s open world action-adventure title is set to launch sometime this year for PC and current-gen consoles.
In Ubisoft’s entire slate of upcoming games right now, it’s hard to point at any game that’s looking like it’s going to be a bigger deal than Massive Entertainment’s Star Wars Outlaws. How long it’ll be before Ubisoft begins dropping more details on the open world action-adventure game remains to be seen, but new tidbits have emerged on its PC version in particular.
Nvidia has announced that at launch, Star Wars Outlaws will feature support for DLSS 3, ray tracing, and Nvidia Reflex on PC. That means players (those with the requisite hardware, at least) can expect improved frame rates and resolution, reduced latency, physically ray-traced shadows, and global illumination lighting.
“Here at Massive Entertainment, worldbuilding is a part of our DNA, and what better way to showcase our craft than creating the first ever open world Star Wars game,” said technical director Tobias Carlsson. “Filled with distinct locations across the galaxy’s outer rim, both iconic and new, players will be able to experience the Star Wars underworld like never before. DLSS 3 gives us the performance headroom to bring our vision to life and to support additional ray tracing features, helping gamers fully immerse themselves in the adventures of Kay Vess and Nix.”
A new teaser has also been revealed that showcases the open world title’s PC port in action, with all of the aforementioned enhancements enabled. Check it out below.
Star Wars Outlaws is due out sometime this year for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. A specific release date is unknown, but leaks have claimed that Ubisoft is targeting a release before July.
