Star Wars Outlaws Launch Date Revealed for Nintendo Switch 2

By StellaMay 03,2025

Ubisoft has confirmed that Star Wars: Outlaws will be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, but fans will need to wait a bit longer as it won't be a launch title for the new Nintendo handheld. Set to release on September 4, a few months after the Nintendo Switch 2's launch on June 5, Star Wars: Outlaws offers an exciting space adventure set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. The game follows Kay Vess, a small-time criminal who becomes marked for death by a cartel. Our reviewer rated it a 7 out of 10, describing it as "a fun intergalactic heist adventure with great exploration, though it's held back by simple stealth, repetitive combat, and several bugs at launch."

While Ubisoft was light on details, they did confirm the release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 version, allowing us to update the Switch 2 Games List. This news comes as a welcome update for American and Canadian gamers who are currently in pre-order limbo due to Nintendo's assessment of new tariffs introduced by the Republican administration.

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 scheduled for release on May 15.
