Star Wars Outlaws — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
Star Wars Outlaws on PS5 features three distinct display modes: 30fps Quality, 40fps Balanced, and 60fps Performance. Ray tracing is permanently integrated across all options, delivering ray-traced global illumination and reflections. The 40fps Balanced mode is highly recommended for 120Hz display owners, offering an optimal compromise between high visual fidelity and lower input latency. The 60fps Performance mode experiences resolution cutbacks and framerate drops into the 50s in city hubs and open landscapes, making VRR beneficial.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5 Pro
Latest analysed patch: 1.5.1
PS5 Pro keeps all three modes, adds a dedicated 60fps option and reconstructs with PSSR, giving the cleanest and most stable console version.
PS5 Pro support added in Title Update 1.5.0: all base modes plus a Pro-specific 60fps mode and a user toggle between PSSR and FSR upscaling. Patch 1.5.1 revised PSSR image quality.
