Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am so impressed by this port. Besides the whole key card situation the game itself is amazing. Looks great and plays pretty good except some frame drops in areas where there is a lot of vehicle combat.

So far enjoying the game, never been a huge gamer but have always loved the franchise. Definitely recommend!

Star Wars Outlaws on Nintendo Switch 2 is an impressive technical achievement and a solid open-world Star Wars experience, especially for players who want big console-style games in a portable format. While it doesn’t hit the same visual highs as PS5 or Xbox Series X, it still delivers an enjoyable, immersive adventure that feels surprisingly at home on Nintendo hardware. You play as Kay Vess, a scrappy outlaw trying to make a name for herself in the galaxy’s criminal underworld. The story leans more into smugglers, syndicates, and shady deals rather than Jedi and Sith, which is refreshing. It feels grounded in the gritty side of Star Wars and gives the universe a different flavor that longtime fans will appreciate. Gameplay focuses on exploration, stealth, shooting, and space travel. Missions usually give you multiple ways to approach objectives, whether that’s sneaking through enemy bases, talking your way into restricted areas, or going in blasters blazing. While the structure can feel familiar if you’ve played other open-world games, it’s still fun and easy to get sucked into for hours. Performance on Switch 2 is better than many expected. The game targets 30 frames per second and mostly holds steady, both docked and handheld. There are occasional dips in busy areas and some texture pop-in, but nothing game-breaking. Visually, it’s clearly scaled back compared to stronger consoles, with softer textures and reduced detail, yet the lighting and environments still capture the Star Wars atmosphere well. One of the biggest strengths is portability. Being able to explore planets, run contracts, and fly through space on a handheld device is genuinely cool and adds a lot of value to the experience. Load times are reasonable, controls feel responsive, and motion control options add a nice bonus for players who like them. That said, the game isn’t perfect. Some AI behavior can be inconsistent, stealth mechanics aren’t always polished, and the Ubisoft-style open-world formula may feel repetitive to some players. Also, players looking for ultra-smooth performance or cutting-edge graphics may be disappointed compared to other platforms. Final Verdict Star Wars Outlaws on Switch 2 is a strong port and one of the most ambitious third-party games on the system. It offers a fun story, solid gameplay, and the freedom to explore the Star Wars galaxy wherever you go. While it has technical limitations and familiar open-world design flaws, it’s still a great option for Star Wars fans and handheld gamers. Score: 8/10 A fun, ambitious Star Wars adventure that shines most in portable play.

Star Wars Outlaws is a great and fun game. It looks and runs great on the Switch 2. I have only played it in handheld mode and I don’t have any complaints. For the gaming experience, I kind of feel like I’m playing a Star Wars version of Assassins Creed which makes sense coming from Ubisoft. You get to sneak around, climb/jump off of things, sneak up on enemies and knock them out, and use your blaster to shoot enemies. It’s kind of similar to Assassins Creed but also very different. I would definitely recommend buying this game if you are into this style of gaming. When I first started playing this game, I wasn’t sure if I would like it but then as I kept progressing, I found myself wanting to play more. I wasn’t disappointed by no means with the purchase of Star Wars Outlaws.

If you’re a fan of Star Wars, this is a must. Lots of hours of interactive gameplay. Great storyline. Graphics are great and everything runs smooth. If you’re not sure whether you should but it or not, wait for it to go on sale. I got it for $28.00 and used my $20.00 rewards certificate and paid only $8.00. I have the PS5 version, but when I saw it on sale and because I had the rewards certificate, I decided to add it to my switch 2 collection. But trust me, it’s still worth the regular price.

For the switch out of any games available to buy on this console, this game made me believe that it’s a decent console and its games can be fun. I was very critical on this Ubislop Star Wars game when it first released, but I was pleasantly surprised how much I actually enjoyed the experience on the switch 2 compared to getting this day one on PC or another console. The team behind this game really put some heart into the universe and made me feel good while playing. It’s a decently long game with lots of dialogue and the card mini game is fully developed and enjoyable (Sabacc). Getting this on sale was my goal and it was worth it having been a long time N64 Shadows of the Empire video gamer and been through almost every title in the franchise up until now.

At first after hearing some of the early rumors of the game I thought it was going to be terrible. I had a best buy $10 gift card I got from Madden 26 preorder so I thought I'll take the risk. This game is right up there with cyberpunk 2077. The storm troopers and the scenery look amazing definitely a must buy lot's of fun.

Was skeptical about if I would enjoy this game based on different reviews and what not but I actually really enjoyed it. It plays pretty decent on switch 2 as well, I’d recommend if you’re a Star Wars fan like me!

This port looks great on the switch and the game is such a good story with great gameplay

Never played this when it released on other platforms. I thought being able to play portably, and the game being updated and optimized made this a good time to try this out. Glad I did I think I'm still shocked how well it looks and runs on switch 2. This may be the best game graphics wise yet to showcase what the switch 2 is capable of.

Pleasent surprise for the switch 2. Graphics are nice and no noticeable frame drop in handheld. Her hair looks bad, but it doesnt ruin the game play

Excellent game. I was concerned it wouldnt run that well on Switch 2, but its surprisingly well done. They keep making improvements with updates as well which is helping the game get polished over time. Highly recommended.

Honestly very fun game, great story totally worth it

Always loved Star Wars. Wanted a different game to start out with the Switch2. Love the game. Gameplay and graphics are amazing.

Great port on switch 2 but a few late game bugs. Unfortunate but still a great time.like starwars mixed with assassins creed? Play it.

Works well on the Switch2 - not perfect but well enough with the most recent updates. I'm really just getting started, but the gameplay is enjoyable.

It runs so much better then i could have imagined on the switch 2. This game has deep lore and awesome exploration. Ignore the hate on this one and do yourself a favor and pick this up ! There is a wide variety of missions and even space combat. Worth the price for sure

Outlaws is really a good SW game that just hasn't gotten the love is deserves. It's a fun ride, good on a lot of levels, but not particularly 'great' in any which is probably why its been overlooked. The Switch 2 port is excellent. Its great to see devs getting so much out of the hardware already and if you want something to show off a strong AAA 3rd party port then this is a good choice.

Great game, easy to get lost in for hours, looks good on switch 2, crashes every now and then but not terrible

To have this game in the palm of your hands is amazing! Is it a perfect game? No. Is it fun, packed with content and has fantastic visuals and sound. Yes.
