Star Wars Outlaws Gold Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 is on sale for a new all-time low price at Amazon and Walmart. Released in September with a $60 MSRP, the impressive Switch 2 port of Massive Entertainment’s open-world action-adventure game is discounted to only $30 ahead of Christmas. It’s unclear how long this deal will be available for, but Walmart’s store page notes “low stock.” Once Walmart sells out, it’s possible Amazon will raise the price to $40 to match the deal offered by Target and Best Buy.
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X players can grab Star Wars Outlaws for $20 (was $50) at Amazon. Just know that the Switch 2’s Gold Edition includes two story expansions and other in-game content, while the deals for PS5 and Xbox Series X are for the base game.
$30 (was $60)
The Gold Edition is the only version available for Nintendo Switch 2. When Outlaws originally released on PS5, Xbox, and PC, the Gold Edition was $110, so Switch 2 owners were already getting a nice deal when Outlaws launched on the new Nintendo console in September.
The Gold Edition is bundled with the Star Wars Outlaws Season Pass. Most notably, the Season Pass grants access to two story expansions called Wild Card and A Pirate’s Fortune. You’ll also get a few other extras. Here’s the full list:
- Star Wars Outlaws Game-Key Card
- Season Pass
- Story Expansion 1 – Wild Card
- Story Expansion 2 – A Pirate’s Fortune
- Exclusive Mission – Jabba’s Gambit
- The Kessel Runner Character Pack (Cosmetics)
- The Hunter’s Legacy Bundle (Cosmetics)
- The Cartel Ronin Bundle (Cosmetics)
Star Wars Outlaws is a Game-Key Card with a roughly 20GB download. At launch, Ubisoft explained that storing the game data on a Switch 2 card negatively impacted performance, so the development team opted for the Game-Key Card format.
From a performance perspective, Outlaws is one of the most impressive third-party games on Switch 2. It runs in 1440p resolution at 30fps in docked mode and 1080p at 30fps in handheld mode. It’s certainly a downgrade in graphics compared to PS5, Xbox, and PC, but Outlaws makes great use of DLSS, VRR, and ray-tracing to offer solid visuals and consistent performance with minimal drops. Considering Star Wars Outlaws runs terribly on Steam Deck–it’s marked as “unsupported”–it’s cool that Massive Entertainment found a way to make a pleasant handheld experience on Switch 2.
Set during the height of the Galactic Empire’s reign, Outlaws puts you in the boots of Kay Vess, an opportunistic lawbreaker chasing down a score that’ll help pay off the debts she owes to the criminal underworld of Star Wars. The third-person action-adventure unfolds on and between five planets in the galaxy. Four of the planets have an open-world design that encourages exploration. Outlaws is a well-rounded experience that mixes gunplay with stealth and hand-to-hand combat. You can customize your character and your ship, the Trailblazer, which you control when traveling across the galaxy. And yes, Star Wars Outlaws has space combat, too.
