Star Wars Outlaws Release Date Set for Nintendo Switch 2

Author : Layla Apr 26,2025

Ubisoft has confirmed that Star Wars: Outlaws will be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, though it won't be available at the console's launch on June 5. Instead, fans will have to wait until September 4 to dive into this space adventure on the new Nintendo handheld.

Set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, Star Wars: Outlaws follows Kay Vess, a small-time criminal who finds herself targeted by a cartel. Our reviewer rated it a 7 out of 10, describing it as "a fun intergalactic heist adventure with great exploration." However, the game was critiqued for its "simple stealth, repetitive combat, and a few too many bugs at launch."

While Ubisoft didn't share many new details, the confirmation of the release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 version is significant. This news is particularly welcome amidst the ongoing pre-order limbo for American and Canadian gamers, as Nintendo assesses the impact of new tariffs introduced by the Republican administration. We've updated the Switch 2 Games List accordingly.

The announcement came during a panel at Star Wars Celebration in Japan, where Ubisoft also unveiled the second story pack for Star Wars: Outlaws, titled A Pirate’s Fortune. This add-on will feature Kay Vess allying with Hondo Ohnaka to confront Stinger Tash, leader of the Rokana Raiders. Star Wars: Outlaws: A Pirate’s Fortune is set to release on May 15.
