Star Wars Outlaws is now out on PC. The game is a bit demanding and will need some good hardware for the best experience. Those with more modest GPUs like an RTX 3060 or RX 6600 XT will especially need to crank down the graphics options. Like most high-profile Ubisoft releases, this game also packs a bunch of settings that need to be customized.

This article outlines the ideal settings combinations that work best for the average gaming PC. We have targeted a 60 FPS experience for the guide.
