Star Wars Outlaws
Star Wars Outlaws is a native PS5-only release built on Snowdrop, with ray-traced global illumination and ray-traced reflections permanently enabled on every console mode - there is no way to turn them off. Base PS5 offers three options: Quality at 30fps with a dynamic 1134p-1620p internal resolution reconstructed to 4K, Balanced at 40fps on a 120Hz display, and Performance targeting 60fps from a 720p-1080p internal window output at 1440p, which is the softest of the three and does not hold a locked 60fps in the busiest city areas. Title Update 1.5.0 added PS5 Pro support: all three modes return, plus a Pro-specific 60fps option and a toggle to switch between PSSR and FSR upscaling, with PSSR quality further revised in patch 1.5.1. On Pro the 60fps target is far more stable and the image is noticeably cleaner than the base PS5 Performance mode. There is no PS4 version.
