How to Disable Star Wars Outlaws’ Cinematic Display Mode

While there are plenty of aspects to enjoy about Star Wars Outlaws, its cinematic display mode might not be one of them for some. Fortunately, there is a way to modify this setting. Here’s how.

After much anticipation, Star Wars Outlaws has been released and we have been thoroughly enjoying exploring the vast expanse of the galaxy as Kay Vess. Taking a break from our attempts to cheat at the Sabacc table, we took the time to review the game and it received a commendable rating of four out of five from our dedicated Star Wars fan.

Despite our enjoyment, there is a small caveat. Before fully immersing yourself in the game’s exceptional exploration of its four major planets, it might be worth adjusting a setting that we personally found bothersome.

Although Star Wars Outlaws defaults to a certain format of presentation known as cinematic display mode, we do not necessarily share a preference for it. If you also do not enjoy this mode, our quick guide will provide instructions on how to disable it in Star Wars Outlaws.

According to developers who spoke with GameSpot, the default display mode known as “Cinematic”presents the game in a widescreen format, aiming to replicate the aspect ratio popularized during the release of the original Star Wars trilogy in theaters.

In order to achieve this goal, they included several lens effects and a stuttery film grain that operates at a constant 24 frames per second, regardless of your hardware’s capabilities. This unique feature may appeal to cinephiles who appreciate a more cinematic aesthetic.

For avid gamers, the familiar 16 X 9 aspect ratio is most likely the preferred choice. Fortunately, Star Wars Outlaws offers the option for players to switch to its cinematic display mode.
