Star Wars Outlaws: Nintendo Switch 2 Release Date Revealed

Ubisoft has officially confirmed that Star Wars: Outlaws will be available on the Nintendo Switch 2, though it won't be ready for the console's launch on June 5. Instead, fans can look forward to diving into this space adventure on September 4, a few months after the new Nintendo handheld hits the market.

For those who might have missed it on PS5, Xbox, and PC, Star Wars: Outlaws is set in the timeline between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. The game follows the journey of Kay Vess, a small-time criminal who suddenly 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 didn't provide extensive details today, they did reaffirm the game's arrival on the Nintendo Switch 2 and confirmed its release date. This news helps us update the Switch 2 Games List, offering a bit of excitement amidst the uncertainty for American and Canadian gamers who are currently in a pre-order limbo due to new tariffs introduced by the Republican administration.

The announcement came 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, players will see Kay Vess teaming 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, giving fans more to look forward to in the Star Wars universe.
