The Switch 2 port of Star Wars Outlaws is reportedly struggling with performance issues, to the extent that media were barred from recording gameplay during a recent showcase. The implication of the Star Wars Outlaws Switch 2 edition being in such a bad shape raises concerns about the condition in which it will launch in just a few days.
The Switch 2 version of Star Wars Outlaws was officially announced in early April 2025, roughly two months before Nintendo's latest console hit the store shelves. Several weeks later, Ubisoft committed to launching the game on September 4.
As Star Wars Outlaws' release date approaches, the game is said to be in bad shape. That's according to a new report by GVG, stating that media weren't allowed to record gameplay footage while trying the game during the ongoing PAX West 2025, where it is featured at the Nintendo booth. It was reportedly the only upcoming title at the booth with such a restriction. While no official explanation was provided, GVG noted the game ran poorly and speculated this was the reason for the recording ban.
