Ubisoft has officially confirmed that Star Wars: Outlaws will be available on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, although it won't be ready for the console's launch on June 5. Instead, fans can look forward to diving 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 journey of Kay Vess, a small-time criminal who becomes the target of a cartel's death mark. Our reviewer rated it a 7, 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 sparse, 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 for American and Canadian gamers who are currently navigating pre-order uncertainties due to new tariffs introduced by the Republican administration.
The announcement was made 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 expansion, Kay Vess teams up 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, adding more excitement to the game's universe.
