"Star Wars Outlaws Set for Nintendo Switch 2 Release"

Star Wars: Outlaws, the highly anticipated space adventure from Ubisoft, has already been confirmed for the Nintendo Switch 2. However, it won’t be a launch title when the console releases on June 5. Instead, the game will arrive a few months later on September 4.

If you haven't yet experienced the game on PS5, Xbox, or PC, Star Wars: Outlaws is set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. It follows Kay Vess, a small-time criminal who suddenly finds herself hunted by a powerful cartel. Our reviewer awarded it a 7, calling it "a fun intergalactic heist adventure with great exploration," though they noted that "simple stealth, repetitive combat, and a few too many bugs at launch" held it back.

While Ubisoft didn't share much beyond the release date and platform confirmation, this update allows us to officially add [ttpp] to the Nintendo Switch 2 Games List. With American and Canadian gamers currently stuck in pre-order uncertainty due to Nintendo reviewing the impact of new tariffs introduced by the Republican administration, any new game news helps keep the excitement alive.

The announcement was made during a panel at Star Wars Celebration in Japan, where Ubisoft also unveiled details about the game’s second story pack, titled A Pirate’s Fortune. In this expansion, Kay teams up with Hondo Ohnaka to take down Stinger Tash, the ruthless leader of the Rokana Raiders. Star Wars: Outlaws: A Pirate’s Fortune will launch on May 15.
