"Grand Outlaws Soft Launches in US"

After a delay earlier this year, the highly anticipated open-world mobile shooter, Grand Outlaws, has finally made its soft launch in the US. Hardbit Studio confirmed that starting today, May 15th, the game is available exclusively on Google Play for Android users. Fans around the globe will need to hold on a bit longer for the worldwide release.

The extra development time was well spent, as Hardbit Studio utilized it to expand the game's locations, enhance performance, and introduce a wealth of new content. This ensures a more comprehensive and stable gaming experience as Grand Outlaws gears up for its full launch later this year.

At launch, players can dive into three core modes: Battle Royale, Racing, and Deathmatch. Each mode is designed for quick, chaotic fun with intuitive mobile-friendly controls, ensuring easy access to weapons, vehicles, and customization options. Whether you're in the mood for intense competition or prefer to explore the open world at your own pace, the choice is yours.

Currently, the soft launch is limited to Android, but Hardbit has a clear multi-platform roadmap in place. The game's full release on Android and the Epic Store is slated for July or August, with iOS and PC versions coming to Steam and Epic in October. Console enthusiasts can look forward to PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch versions in 2026. Additionally, cross-platform play is in development, promising to unite players across different devices.

Looking ahead, Hardbit Studio has ambitious plans for Grand Outlaws. They are set to introduce new modes such as Heists and Destruction Derby, along with live events, a full cinematic story mode, and enhanced customization options for both characters and hideouts. The studio is also exploring brand collaborations and seasonal content drops to keep the game fresh and exciting.
