Star Wars Outlaws Switch 2: Release Date Finally Revealed!

by

Summary

  • Star Wars Outlaws Switch 2 port launches on September 4, 2025.
  • Outlaws failed to meet expectations, but new Switch 2 port offers potential redemption.
  • Ubisoft has continued to update the game, meaning the Switch 2 version might be worth checking out.

Ubisoft has officially confirmed that the port of “Star Wars Outlaws” for Nintendo’s Switch 2 will be released on September 4th. This game was one of the initial third-party American titles announced for Nintendo’s upcoming next-gen console, and some had speculated it might serve as a launch title for the Switch 2 due to an earlier lack of a specific release date.

It’s fair to conclude that the game “Star Wars Outlaws” didn’t meet Ubisoft’s hopes, in terms of both critical acclaim and financial success. Interestingly, “Star Wars Jedi: Survivor,” released in 2023, has outsold it. However, the news about a potential Switch 2 port has been generally welcomed by the Japanese gaming community, possibly because there aren’t many new Star Wars games for the Switch or its predecessor. Some fans even view this port as a chance for “Outlaws” to make amends for its lackluster launch.

At Star Wars Celebration Japan, they officially announced that my much-anticipated game, “Star Wars Outlaws,” will drop on the Switch 2 on September 4, 2025. That means it won’t be one of those hot launch titles since the Switch 2 is scheduled for release on June 5. The news also unveiled a sneak peek at the game’s second story expansion, “A Pirate’s Fortune” DLC. This exciting addition will roll out across all platforms starting May 15, and we can expect it to grace Nintendo’s new console in September as well!

Star Wars Outlaws Gets a Switch 2 Release Date

For Star Wars enthusiasts, it’s fortunate that Outlaws is one of the earliest titles confirmed for release on Switch 2. Moreover, this isn’t the only piece of positive news regarding the game. Despite a rough beginning, Ubisoft has continued to support Outlaws and even introduced a new update in February 2025 to address more bugs and enhance performance. If the developers have learned from the game’s initial release, the Switch 2 port could potentially be its smoothest version yet.

Some enthusiasts think that 2025 could mark a new beginning for Star Wars Outlaws, as they contend that the advancements made by Massive Entertainment since its launch have significantly enhanced the game’s visual appeal. The forthcoming DLC, titled “A Pirate’s Fortune“, is viewed as a compelling reason for both returning players and newcomers to immerse themselves in Kay’s adventure within Ubisoft’s Star Wars spin-off. However, whether these updates will sway either group remains uncertain. The potential re-release of the game on the Switch 2 could determine if the developer’s improvements have left a lasting impression.
