What’s New in Patch 3?

Gamers playing Star Wars: Outlaws on the Nintendo Switch 2 now have access to Patch 3, an update packed with gameplay improvements, technical fixes and polish across story missions, visuals and user experience. According to the published notes:

Here’s a quick breakdown of the headline changes:

  • Gameplay: Fixed an issue where the equipment perk “stealth takedowns restore health” didn’t trigger properly.
  • Performance & Graphics: Improved stability, fixed texture degradation during extended play sessions, corrected broken assets on Toshara, addressed cliff-popping issues in Jaunta’s Hope, and improved overall texture quality & shadow flickering.
  • UI & Accessibility: Enhanced accessibility screen for new users, and fixed an issue where enemies weren’t highlighted when tagging them with Adrenaline Rush.
  • Story Mission Fixes:
    • The Gunslinger quest: corrected Kay’s stiff movements after adrenaline rush.
    • The Scavenger quest: fixed blaster module reset issue.
    • Recover the Cargo contract: ensured the Pyke Syndicate actually assists Kay.
    • Wild Card and A Pirate’s Fortune story packs: fixed issues where players were unable to leave Renpalli Station if a contract was active, and fixed disappearing NPCs during A Pirate’s Plight.

Why These Fixes Matter

Switch 2 players now have reason to revisit the galaxy far, far away with renewed confidence. The updates tackle persistent problems that impacted immersion and gameplay fluidity—especially texture issues, fixable performance bugs, and storyline glitches.

For example:

  • If you experienced blurry visuals or pop-in cliffs on Toshara, you’ll likely see a marked improvement.
  • Story-driven players will appreciate the fixes in The Gunslinger and Recover the Cargo, as mission continuity is restored.
  • First-time players and those with accessibility needs will benefit from the improved UI and introduction screens.

What You Should Do Now

  1. Download Patch 3: Make sure your Switch 2 is connected to the internet and modern system software is installed so the update applies properly.
  2. Restart Your Console: After installation, rebooting helps ensure all new assets load correctly and stale caches are cleared.
  3. Check Key Areas: Visit Toshara or Jaunta’s Hope to spot texture improvements, and retry missions like The Gunslinger to verify the fix.
  4. Report Any Residual Issues: If you still encounter code-based glitches (e.g., missing enemy highlights or NPC issues), send feedback through Ubisoft’s support channel so the next patch can build on this one.

Final Thoughts

Patch 3 for Star Wars: Outlaws on Nintendo Switch 2 might not bring flashy new content—no new planet or hero has arrived yet—but it significantly refines the experience for existing players. Addressing long-standing mission bugs, environmental issues and accessibility problems shows that the developers are serious about delivering a smoother, more polished Star Wars adventure.

Whether you’re a longtime pilot of the Outlaws’s freighter or just joining the crew, now’s a great time to load up the game, reacquaint yourself with Kay and the gang, and enjoy the improved ride.

May your blasters stay cool—and your textures stay crisp.
