Unofficial gameplay footage of Star Wars Outlaws running on the Nintendo Switch 2 has appeared online, giving fans their first substantial look at the game’s performance on the new console. The 40-minute video, published by a YouTube channel named mataleao, shows the game being played in docked mode, featuring sequences of open-world exploration and a few technical showcases, all ahead of its official release on September 4.
The newly leaked footage appears to offer a somewhat more stable look at the game’s performance in its docked configuration. It highlight Ubisoft’s technical ambition to bring a large-scale, open-world Star Wars experience to the portable-hybrid platform.
Ubisoft Entertainment has confirmed that Star Wars Outlaws will feature cross-progression, allowing players to transfer their save data between supported platforms. This feature could address some concerns for players who might find the Switch 2 version lacking in some areas, as they would be able to continue their progress on other consoles.
This Star Wars Outlaws port is a major test for the Nintendo Switch 2, as it is one of the first big third-party releases to leverage advanced rendering technologies on the new hardware. Its performance will likely be seen by many industry analysts as an early indicator of the console’s ability to handle contemporary AAA games.
Star Wars Outlaws is scheduled to launch on September 4, 2025, for the Nintendo Switch 2.
