While the system requirements for Star Wars Outlaws on PC are not excessively demanding, they do surpass those of several recent titles. This raised questions about the game’s performance on handheld gaming devices such as the Steam Deck, Legion Go, and ROG Ally. After extensive testing on these platforms, it appears that the game is primarily functional on the ROG Ally, ROG Ally X, and Legion Go, with the Steam Deck currently facing multiple issues that hinder gameplay.
For those eager to experience the game on the ROG Ally or Legion Go, some adjustments are necessary to optimize performance. Below are the recommended settings for a smoother gaming experience.
Best Star Wars Outlaws settings on ROG Ally and Legion Go
After spending several hours immersed in Star Wars Outlaws on the ROG Ally X and Legion Go, I found that the gameplay can become quite choppy. To mitigate this, it’s advisable to disable ray tracing or set it to the lowest possible level. Additionally, most graphics settings should be minimized. Here are some specific adjustments to consider:
- Turn on AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF): This feature employs AI to generate extra frames, significantly enhancing the overall frames per second (FPS). For guidance on enabling this, refer to our ROG Ally AFMF guide.
- Set refresh rate to 120Hz: This steady rate is manageable for the system.
- Adjust resolution to 900p: While this is a matter of personal preference, lowering the resolution from 1080p can ease the system’s workload. Adjust this within Armoury Crate or Legion Space.
