"Grand Outlaws Soft Launches in US"

After a much-anticipated delay earlier this year, the open-world mobile shooter Grand Outlaws has finally soft-launched in the US, available exclusively on Android. Starting today, May 15th, players in the US can dive into the action-packed world crafted by Hardbit Studio. While the rest of the world eagerly awaits, the developers have utilized the additional time to enhance the game significantly.

Hardbit Studio focused on expanding the game's locations, boosting performance, and enriching the content to deliver a more expansive and stable experience. This groundwork sets the stage for a full global rollout slated for later this year.

At its soft launch, Grand Outlaws offers three engaging core modes: Battle Royale, Racing, and Deathmatch. Each mode is designed for quick, chaotic fun, featuring mobile-optimized controls and easy access to an array of weapons, vehicles, and customization options. Players can seamlessly switch between these modes or explore the open world at their leisure.

While the initial release is Android-exclusive, Hardbit Studio has a comprehensive multi-platform strategy in place. A full release on Android and the Epic Store is expected in July or August, with iOS and PC versions via Steam and Epic following in October. Console enthusiasts will have to wait until 2026 for ports on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. Cross-platform play is also on the development roadmap.

Looking forward, the studio plans to roll out additional content updates, including new modes such as Heists and Destruction Derby, live events, a cinematic story mode, and enhanced customization options for characters and hideouts. Brand collaborations and seasonal content drops are also part of the future vision for Grand Outlaws.

Sergey Agafonov, the Lead Game Designer, humorously remarked, “Here, you can shoot money from a gun, steal a car dressed as Buttman, and win a Battle Royale — all before your coffee gets cold.”

For now, US Android users are the first to immerse themselves in the thrilling world of Grand Outlaws with its soft launch on May 15th.
