Star Wars Outlaws Release Date Set for Nintendo Switch 2

Ubisoft has confirmed that Star Wars: Outlaws will be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, although it won't be a launch title for the new handheld. Scheduled for release on September 4, a few months after the Nintendo Switch 2 hits the market on June 5, fans will have to wait a bit longer to explore this space adventure on the new console.

For those who missed Star Wars: Outlaws on PS5, Xbox, and 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, 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 many additional details, they did confirm the game's availability on the Nintendo Switch 2 and its release date. This news allows us to update the Switch 2 Games List. Amidst the pre-order limbo for American and Canadian gamers due to new tariffs introduced by the Republican administration, any updates on Nintendo Switch 2 game releases are a welcome distraction.

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 add-on, Kay Vess allies with Hondo Ohnaka to confront Stinger Tash, the leader of the Rokana Raiders. Star Wars: Outlaws: A Pirate’s Fortune is set to release on May 15, offering fans more adventures to look forward to.
