Grand Outlaws Soft Launches in US

After an earlier delay, the much-anticipated Grand Outlaws has finally made its debut. Hardbit Studio has confirmed that the open-world mobile shooter has soft launched on Google Play exclusively in the US. As of today, May 15th, you can dive into the action-packed world of Grand Outlaws. While the rest of the world eagerly awaits, the US gets a first taste of this thrilling game.

The developers at Hardbit Studio utilized the extra development time to enhance the game significantly. They expanded locations, improved performance, and introduced a wealth of new content, resulting in a richer and more stable experience ahead of the game’s full global release later this year.

At launch, Grand Outlaws offers three core gameplay modes: Battle Royale, Racing, and Deathmatch. These modes are designed for short, intense bursts of action with mobile-optimized controls, ensuring quick access to weapons, vehicles, and customizations. Players can switch between these modes at will or explore the expansive open world at their leisure.

Currently available only on Android, Hardbit Studio has a clear roadmap for future releases. A full Android and Epic Store launch is scheduled for July or August, with iOS and PC versions via Steam and Epic following in October. Console ports for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch are targeted for 2026, with cross-platform play in development.

Looking ahead, 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. The developers also have their sights set on brand collaborations and seasonal content drops to keep the game fresh and engaging.
