Star Wars Outlaws Release Date Announced for Nintendo Switch 2

By SebastianMay 14,2025

Ubisoft has officially announced that Star Wars: Outlaws will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2, though it won't be available at the console's launch on June 5. Instead, fans can look forward to diving into this space adventure on September 4.

For those who haven't experienced Star Wars: Outlaws on PS5, Xbox, or PC, the game is set in the timeline between "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi." It follows the journey of Kay Vess, a small-time criminal who becomes the target of a cartel's death mark. Our reviewer rated it a 7, describing it as "a fun intergalactic heist adventure with great exploration, but it’s hindered by simple stealth, repetitive combat, and a few too many bugs at launch."

While Ubisoft didn't reveal much beyond the release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 version, this update is significant enough to be added to the Switch 2 Games List. This news comes at a time when American and Canadian gamers are caught in pre-order limbo due to Nintendo's evaluation of the new tariffs introduced by the Republican administration. Therefore, any updates on upcoming games for the Nintendo Switch 2 serve as a welcome distraction.

The announcement was made during a panel at Star Wars Celebration in Japan. During the event, Ubisoft also unveiled details about the second story pack for Star Wars: Outlaws, named "A Pirate’s Fortune." In this expansion, Kay Vess teams up with Hondo Ohnaka to confront Stinger Tash, the leader of the Rokana Raiders. "Star Wars: Outlaws: A Pirate’s Fortune" is slated for release on May 15.
