Star Wars Outlaws Gets Another Switch 2 Patch, Further Improves Performance And Visuals

Star Wars Outlaws stands as one of the most remarkable adaptations on the Switch 2, and Massive Entertainment alongside Ubisoft are backing it to uphold that distinction with the latest update.

Switch 2 Title Update 2 predominantly centers on graphical and visual reliability along with several bug and UI amendments. We certainly won’t decline that, especially with its release being under a month ago.

Highlighting just a few key points from the patch details, Kay’s movement now appears enhanced “under specific conditions”, users of GameChat should not face flickering anymore, and graphical problems related to the Cinematic display mode not rendering correctly in certain scenes have been resolved.

A few minor narrative spoilers are included in the details below, but if those don’t concern you, let’s explore the complete patch notes:
