Tweake his Setting to Get Rid of the Black Cinematic Bars in Star Wars Outlaws

Star Wars Outlaws takes you on an adventurous journey to a galaxy far far away. The gameplay experience is enhanced by the cinematic bars that make the game look like a sci-fi movie right out of the 80s.

However, not everyone prefers to play games in a unique aspect ratio. It can be annoying and distracting for many. If you are one of those and can’t get rid of the black cinematic bars on the edges on your own, you have come to the right place.

How to get rid of the black cinematic bars in Star Wars Outlaws?

To get rid of the black bars in Star Wars Outlaws on PC:

  • Open the Menu and navigate to Settings.
  • In Settings, select the ‘Video‘ option.

These steps are slightly different for a console user. Instead of the ‘Video’ option in the second step, they have to select ‘Display and Graphics.‘ After this, all the steps are the same.

Turning this setting on and off does not actually change any aspect of the game nor does it affect the frame rates or video quality in any manner. It is purely a matter of personal preference.

If you wish to play the game for leisure and not the grind then you may find it fun to keep the cinematic effects given by the black bars.
