gaming handheld

The system requirements for Star Wars Outlaws on PC exceed those of several recent titles, leading to performance concerns on handheld devices like the Steam Deck, Legion Go, and ROG Ally. Testing indicates that the game functions primarily on the ROG Ally, ROG Ally X, and Legion Go, while the Steam Deck faces multiple gameplay issues. To optimize performance on the ROG Ally and Legion Go, recommended settings include disabling ray tracing, minimizing graphics settings, enabling AMD Fluid Motion Frames, setting the refresh rate to 120Hz, and adjusting resolution to 900p. Specific in-game graphics settings suggest using low quality for various aspects, turning off ray reconstruction, and adjusting frame rate settings. Star Wars Outlaws on the ROG Ally X and Legion Go provides a commendable visual experience, though not as high-end as gaming laptops or desktops. On the Steam Deck, the game is not directly available on Steam, requiring workarounds for installation, which may lead to controller support issues and crashes. Players may encounter a warning about performance issues due to the game being installed on a mechanical hard drive, but this can be bypassed, although crashes still occur at low settings. Textures on the handheld devices are satisfactory but lack the detail found on more powerful systems. The ROG Ally, particularly the AMD Z1 Extreme model, is noted as the preferred choice for playing the game.
