Star Wars Outlaws on PC: Platforms, requirements and recommended specs
May the Force be with your specs.
With Star Wars Outlaws releasing today, we're finally able to live out the Han Solo fantasy.
Forget the good and evil of Jedi and Sith, it's time for amoral scoundrel shenanigans by way of protagonist Kay Vess.

It's pretty straightforward on consoles, but if you're playing on a PC there are a few things you'll want to check before forking out over a hundred quid for the Ultimate Edition.
So, what are the required specs for Star Wars Outlaws on PC? And, if we want that smooth sailing experience, what are the recommended?
