Star Wars Outlaws to Launch on Nintendo Switch 2

Ubisoft had previously announced Star Wars: Outlaws would be part of the Nintendo Switch 2 lineup, but now confirms it won't be available at launch. While Nintendo's new handheld arrives June 5, Kay Vess's intergalactic adventure won't hit shelves until September 4.

For those who skipped the PS5, Xbox and PC versions, this open-world romp unfolds between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. You'll play as scrappy outlaw Kay Vess, marked for death by a dangerous crime syndicate. We scored it a 7, calling it "an entertaining galactic crime spree with fantastic worlds to explore, though bogged down by basic stealth mechanics, recycled firefights and technical hiccups at release."

Beyond reconfirming the Switch 2 port's September debut, Ubisoft remained tight-lipped about specifics. Still, we've updated our Switch 2 Games List accordingly. This announcement comes as North American fans face pre-order uncertainty following new Republican-imposed tariffs, making any Switch 2 news a pleasant diversion.

Today's Star Wars Celebration Japan panel delivered the news alongside a preview of Outlaws' second story expansion, A Pirate's Fortune. Launching May 15, this DLC partners Kay with fan-favorite rogue Hondo Ohnaka to battle the ruthless Stinger Tash and his Rokana Raiders.
