Graphics Settings

• The "video" settings screen handles all the usual monitor-related settings
• Star Wars Outlaws supports "fullscreen," "borderless" and "windowed"
• There is a "Cinematic display mode," which runs everything in 21:9 with huge black bars on top and bottom—not my cup of tea. I do like that there's "fill screen," which eliminates the black bars, even on 16:10
• Supported aspect ratios are 16:9 and 21:9—nothing else. As you can see, our native 16:10 has black bars on top and bottom
• V-Sync can be disabled completely, there is no hidden FPS cap
• An FPS limiter is available, which can be freely set to between 30 FPS and 300 FPS
• Upscalers supported are NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, Intel XeSS and Temporal antialiasing
• Additionally, you may enable AMD or NVIDIA Frame Generation, but you can't run DLSS Frame Gen with FSR Upscaling
• NVIDIA users may enable DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction

• The "graphics" settings menu has the following performance profiles: "low," "medium," "high" and "ultra"
• Distracting effects like chromatic aberration, film grain, depth of field and motion blur can be disabled. There's still some additional hidden motion blur, and the image looks a bit blurry and washed out
• RTX Direct Lighting (RTXDI) is a new ray tracing-based technology for light and shadows

• The "Advanced Graphics" setting has lots of options for fine-tuning of the performance. This is an excellent implementation of a settings menu.
• Please note that some settings are not fully maxed out with Ultra. The screenshot shows Ultra, there's some headroom left in extra streaming distance, object detail and RT settings. It's also possible to unlock "uber" settings through a launch argument -unlockmaxsettings.

Test Devices

We tested the public Ubisoft+ release of Star Wars Outlaws. The Steam Deck LCD was running SteamOS version 3.5.19, build 20240422.1. Our ROG Ally had the latest Armoury Crate version installed at the time of testing (1.5.11.0) along with BIOS 339.
