Ubisoft has officially confirmed that Star Wars: Outlaws will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2. However, fans eagerly awaiting the launch of the new Nintendo handheld on June 5 will have to wait a bit longer, as the space adventure is slated for release on September 4. This news comes as a slight delay but adds to the excitement for the upcoming console.
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 events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. It follows the journey of Kay Vess, a small-time criminal who finds herself targeted by a cartel. Our reviewer rated it a 7 out of 10, describing it as "a fun intergalactic heist adventure with great exploration, but it’s hindered by simple stealth, repetitive combat, and a few too many bugs at launch."
While Ubisoft kept details to a minimum, they did confirm the release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 version, allowing us to update the Switch 2 Games List. This news is especially welcome for American and Canadian gamers who are currently in pre-order limbo as Nintendo assesses the impact of 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. This add-on will feature Kay Vess allying with Hondo Ohnaka to challenge Stinger Tash, the leader of the Rokana Raiders. Star Wars: Outlaws: A Pirate’s Fortune is set to launch on May 15, offering fans another thrilling chapter in the saga.
