Nintendo Switch 2 Demo Reveals Coming Soon for Star Wars Outlaws Before Year's End

Ubisoft has made a splash at Gamescom 2025 with not one, but two exciting announcements. The French video game publisher has confirmed a playable demo for their upcoming title, Star Wars Outlaws, on the Nintendo Switch 2. Additionally, they are showcasing their stealth action game, 007 First Light, at the event.

Star Wars Outlaws demo offers players a glimpse into the desert planet of Tatooine, where they take on the role of protagonist Kay Vess and her companion Nix. The demo, available since April on Steam and other consoles, allows players to traverse the deserts on a speeder, hire mercenaries, face off against the Hutt Cartel and Tusken Raiders, and even participate in mini-games like Kessel Sabacc.

The demo's release could potentially attract more impatient players, but it also gives console owners the opportunity to personally assess the performance of a hardware-intensive game. Ubisoft has released a patch for Star Wars Outlaws on Nintendo Switch 2 to improve user experience, focusing on optimizing performance, fixing interaction errors with non-playable characters (NPC), and refining visual details in demanding environments. The patch also addresses visual issues when moving quickly or using binoculars, improves shadows, lighting, and smoke effects, and adjusts the interface and controller detection.

Ubisoft is also showcasing 007 First Light at Gamescom 2025. The game, being developed by Ubisoft, is not a clone of Hitman, according to the developers. While the article does not provide any information about the gameplay, storyline, or release date for 007 First Light, the developers claim that the game offers unique features distinct from Hitman.

007 First Light is being showcased on various platforms including Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC. However, Nintendo Switch 2 is not mentioned as a platform for 007 First Light at this time.

Improvements in the graphics system and gameplay have a direct effect on user satisfaction, with social media comments prioritizing fluidity and consistency in the handheld experience. The arrival of an early patch and the promise of a playable demo reflect Ubisoft's commitment to quickly adapt the game to players' expectations and address technical issues.

The location of the event is not specified in the article. Gamescom 2025 is taking place, and it seems to be a promising event for fans of Ubisoft's upcoming titles.
