Star Wars Outlaws is beautifully realised on PS5 and Series X/S, bar a few rogue issues


Star Wars Outlaws is a beautifully realised game on PS5 and Series X/S, with some unique options and a few rogue issues.

Looking at the bustling Mirogana City, this arrives in the form of ray-traced global illumination (RTGI), allowing for a simulated light bounce from its neon signs across the player and nearby walls. Ray traced shadows make the grade, too, though it appears the console implementation to limited to distant rocky outrcrops in open areas - with PC offering a more comprehensive solution for all objects. The build-up to these high points does take time, however, with a linear (and it must be said, tedious) opening two hours replete with crawling through vents, hacking minigames, mandatory stealth sections and climbing painted ledges.
