Star Wars Outlaws Launch Date Set for Nintendo Switch 2

Ubisoft has officially confirmed that Star Wars: Outlaws will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2, but fans will need to wait a bit longer as it won't be available at the console's launch on June 5. Instead, the highly anticipated space adventure will hit the shelves on September 4. This news comes as a slight delay for those eager to dive into the game on the new Nintendo handheld.

For those who may have missed Star Wars: Outlaws on other platforms like PS5, Xbox, and PC, the game is set in the timeline between "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi." It follows the journey of Kay Vess, a small-time criminal entangled in a dangerous situation with a cartel's death mark on her. Our reviewer rated it a 7 out of 10, praising it as "a fun intergalactic heist adventure with great exploration," but noted some drawbacks such as "simple stealth, repetitive combat, and a few too many bugs at launch."

While Ubisoft kept further details under wraps, they did confirm the game's release date for the Nintendo Switch 2, allowing us to update the Switch 2 Games List. This news comes as a welcome update amidst the ongoing pre-order limbo for American and Canadian gamers, as Nintendo navigates the new tariffs introduced by the Republican administration.

The announcement was made during a panel at Star Wars Celebration in Japan, where Ubisoft also unveiled the second story pack for Star Wars: Outlaws, titled "A Pirate’s Fortune." In this expansion, Kay Vess teams up with Hondo Ohnaka to confront Stinger Tash, the leader of the Rokana Raiders. Fans can look forward to Star Wars: Outlaws: A Pirate’s Fortune launching on May 15.
