Star Wars Outlaws: Nintendo Switch 2 Port Impresses in Graphics Comparison with PS5 and Xbox Series S

Ubisoft’s highly anticipated open-world action-adventure, Star Wars Outlaws, has made headlines once again as a new video comparison highlights the technical prowess of its Nintendo Switch 2 port alongside its PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S counterparts.

Originally developed for current-generation consoles, Star Wars Outlaws garnered significant buzz as one of Ubisoft’s major releases, bringing Star Wars fans an expansive universe to explore.

Following its initial launch, the title swiftly arrived on Nintendo’s latest hardware, the Nintendo Switch 2, raising questions about how it would perform on a portable platform compared to more powerful home consoles. Despite early concerns surrounding the viability of porting such a vast, visually intensive game to the Switch 2, Ubisoft delivered a standout conversion that demonstrates the capabilities of Nintendo’s upgraded system.

Industry-watchers have called Star Wars Outlaws on Switch 2 one of the most impressive third-party adaptations to date, echoing the acclaim earned by other successful ports like Cyberpunk 2077. According to recent technical analyses, the development team faced necessary compromises to ensure smooth gameplay and visual fidelity on the Switch 2.

These include subtle reductions in texture quality and resolution tailored specifically to optimize performance for Nintendo’s hardware.

Still, side-by-side footage from the graphic comparison shows that Star Wars Outlaws maintains much of the dynamic environments, realistic lighting, and fluid animation characteristic of its next-gen siblings. Responding to questions about the port’s optimization, a Ubisoft representative emphasized the team's commitment to delivering the "best possible experience for Switch 2 players," noting that the studio worked closely with Nintendo to push the hardware to its limits while preserving the core visual and narrative experience of the game.

The port effectively bridges the gap between technical ambition and accessibility, offering Switch 2 owners a high-fidelity Star Wars adventure at home and on the go. Star Wars Outlaws is now available for purchase on Nintendo Switch 2, alongside its PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S releases.

Players can find detailed breakdowns of the game’s technical adjustments and performance on Nintendo’s eShop and through official Ubisoft communications.
