Star Wars™ Outlaws Is Loaded With RTX Technology

Star Wars™ Outlaws is built using Massive Entertainment’s incredible Snowdrop Engine, enabling the developers to create an incredibly detailed Star Wars™ open world, with perfectly recreated ships and iconic locations, and stunning worlds for you to visit and experience.

As part of our collaboration, Star Wars™ Outlaws on PC is also being enhanced with NVIDIA RTX Dynamic Illumination (RTXDI), which complements the game’s ray-traced reflections, ray-traced shadows, and ray-traced global illumination, taking visuals to the next level.

RTXDI determines the most important light samples in Star Wars™ Outlaws to cast physically accurate ray-traced shadows. Performance remains fast thanks to RTXDI’s innovative design, and on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs ray tracing gets even faster thanks to each card’s fourth generation, super fast Ray Tracing Cores.

 

To ensure ray-traced effects look their absolute best, and performance is super fast at the highest resolutions, Star Wars™ Outlaws also includes NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction.

This enhanced AI-powered neural renderer improves ray-traced image quality for all GeForce RTX GPUs by replacing hand-tuned denoisers with an NVIDIA supercomputer-trained AI network that generates higher-quality pixels in between sampled rays.

Please note that when DLSS Ray Reconstruction is enabled, the game automatically forces “Raytraced diffuse reflections resolution” and “Raytraced specular reflections resolution” to the highest setting, “Ultra”. This is because DLSS Ray Reconstruction requires ray tracing to be executed at native resolution. Setting both Ray Tracing settings to Ultra (full resolution) will have a performance impact.

Working in tandem with DLSS Super Resolution and DLSS Frame Generation, Ray Reconstruction maximizes image quality and performance across all GeForce RTX GPUs, delivering the absolute best experience in ray-traced games.

On GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs included in our new Star Wars™ Outlaws bundle, NVIDIA DLSS 3.5, utilizing Super Resolution, Frame Generation and Ray Reconstruction, multiplies performance by an average of 4.4X at 4K, with RTXDI and all ray tracing options enabled, and every setting maxed out.

Thanks to its industry-leading AI capabilities, DLSS 3.5 enables you play Star Wars™ Outlaws at its absolute best at over 60 FPS on the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, and at even faster speeds on the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER. On the GeForce RTX 4090, the world’s fastest consumer graphics card, PC gamers receive the definitive experience, running at nearly 100 FPS with each option set to their absolute highest.

At 2560x1440, DLSS 3.5’s AI powered tech multiplies frame rates by an average of 2.9X, enabling the GeForce RTX 4070 to surpass 80 FPS. The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER exceeds 90 FPS, the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER passes 110 FPS, and owners of the GeForce RTX 4090 will experience Star Wars™ Outlaws at over 150 FPS.

At 1920x1080, a 2.5X average DLSS 3.5 boost enables the majority of users to enjoy Star Wars™ Outlaws at over 60 FPS, with frame rates rising rapidly, past 100 FPS, then 120 and 144, before ultimately hitting 170 FPS on the GeForce RTX 4090.

Additionally, GeForce gamers can activate NVIDIA Reflex in Star Wars™ Outlaws. This game changing technology reduces system latency on GeForce graphics cards and laptops so your actions occur quicker, giving you a competitive edge in multiplayer matches, and making single-player titles more responsive and enjoyable.

In Star Wars™ Outlaws, enabling Reflex with a few clicks sees system latency reduced by up to 31%, further improving the PC experience for GeForce gamers.

Since its debut in September 2020, NVIDIA Reflex has reduced system latency in over 100 games, and over 90% of GeForce gamers have enabled Reflex. 9 of the top 10 competitive shooters feature Reflex support, along with critically acclaimed co-op and single-player games. In 2023 alone, GeForce gamers played over 10 billion hours of their favorite titles with increased responsiveness thanks to Reflex’s innovative system latency reducing technology.

Kay and Nix can turn any situation to their advantage: use stealth and gadgets to gain the upper hand, use Nix to distract and draw away enemies, or engage in blaster combat in tense situations throughout their journey. In order to pull off the ultimate heist, Kay and Nix will search for and join forces with a cast of outlaws, including battle-hardened droid ND-5. While stealing valuable goods, infiltrating secret locations, and outwitting enemies, they will need to carefully consider how their choices affect their status with each syndicate, as each move will influence Kay’s ever-changing reputation.
