With two weeks to go before the arrival ofStar Wars Outlaws—August 30 is the big day—Ubisofthas revealed the official PC system requirements, as well as a rundown of PC-specific features you’ll be able to take advantage of if you’ve got the hardware to handle it.

You’re going to need some pretty heavy hardware to run Star Wars Outlaws at its “ultra” setting, but it’s reasonably forgiving at the other end of the scale. Of course, one of the great things about PC gaming is that you can fiddle: Turnthisup so you can turnthatdown, until you find a balance of eye-candy and performance that makes you happy—or, at the very least, that you can live with until you’re able to upgrade your rig.

Star Wars Outlaws PC system requirements

One interesting thing is all these specs, as hardware writer Jeremy Laird wrote earlier this month when the basic requirements first appeared on the Ubisoft Store, is that “upscaling is the new normal.” Even at the minimum setting you’ll need to have DLSS, FSR, or some other upscaling tech in order to achieve Ubisoft’s frame rate targets, and the game will be running at a lower-than-spec resolution and then be upscaled.

That’s not a big deal in and of itself, but some lower-end GPUs may struggle more than expected—note, for instance, that Intel Arc GPUs are only listed in the “minimum” setting. Unlike Nick, I’m not a hardware guy, but it does make me think that maybe the smart play is to treat the “recommended” spec as the minimum, at least until the game’s been out for a while and you can see how it runs for other people.

Anyway, speaking of fiddling, here’s the lowdown on PC-specific features you’ll find in Outlaws—again, the availability of which will depend on the weight of your iron:

“In-depth customization options” is a bit vague, so here’s a still from the new PC gameplay trailer to give you an idea of what’s in store:
