Star Wars Outlaws: Nintendo Switch 2 Release Date Revealed

Ubisoft has officially confirmed that Star Wars: Outlaws will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2. However, fans hoping to dive into this space adventure at the console's launch on June 5 will need to wait a bit longer. The game is set to arrive 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." Players follow the journey of Kay Vess, a small-time criminal who finds herself marked for death 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 share much beyond the release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 version, this news allows us to update the Switch 2 Games List. This update is particularly significant for American and Canadian gamers who are currently navigating pre-order uncertainties due to new tariffs introduced by the Republican administration. Any news about upcoming releases for the Nintendo Switch 2 serves as a welcome distraction during these times.

The 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 slated for release on May 15, offering fans more content to look forward to.
