Star Wars Outlaws Launch Date Revealed for Nintendo Switch 2

Ubisoft has officially confirmed that Star Wars: Outlaws will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2, though it won't be ready for the console's launch on June 5. Instead, fans can expect to dive into this space adventure a few months later, on September 4.

For those who haven't experienced Star Wars: Outlaws on PS5, Xbox, or PC, the game is set in the timeline between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. It follows the story 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 further details under wraps, they did confirm the game's release date on the Nintendo Switch 2, allowing us to update the Switch 2 Games List. Amidst the pre-order limbo faced by American and Canadian gamers due to new tariffs introduced by the Republican administration, any updates on upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 games are eagerly anticipated.

This announcement came during a panel at Star Wars Celebration in Japan, where Ubisoft also unveiled details about the second story pack for Star Wars: Outlaws, titled A Pirate’s Fortune. In this add-on, Kay Vess will ally with Hondo Ohnaka to confront Stinger Tash, the leader of the Rokana Raiders. Star Wars: Outlaws: A Pirate’s Fortune is set to launch on May 15, offering fans more thrilling adventures in the Star Wars universe.
