What is Outlaw Graphics Preset in Star Wars Outlaws
If you’re not already impressed by the Ultra graphics preset inStar Wars Outlaws, don’t worry — you can take the visuals one step further. Just like the well-hidden “Unobtanium” Graphics Preset inAvatar: Frontiers of Pandora,Outlawsalso features a secret graphics preset, aptly named “Outlaw.”

Performance Impact of Outlaw Graphics Preset in Star Wars Outlaws
The hidden “Outlaw” preset is hidden for a reason — it has a significant impact on performance. During our testing with anAMD Radeon RX 7900 GREat 1080p, the frame rate dropped from59 FPS on the Ultra preset to 25 FPS on the Outlaw preset.
Much like the “Unobtanium” graphics preset inAvatar: Frontiers of Pandora, the Outlaw setting is primarily intended to future-proof the game. For high-end players, the Ultra setting should be more than sufficient, and for most players, theoptimized setting will offera great experience.
The Outlaw preset is best suited for those looking to capture stunning shots in Photo Mode or for future players with GPUs significantly faster than those currently on the market. Even anRTX 4090 strugglesto maintain 60 FPS at 4K or even 1440p with this preset. However, if you happen to have a 4090 and play at 1080p for some reason, you might just push past the 60 FPS mark inStar Wars Outlawsusing the Outlaw preset.
