Star Wars: Outlaws launches on Switch 2 this September
Star Wars: Outlaws is but one of the many third-party games announced for the Nintendo Switch 2 during the Nintendo Direct in early April. However, no release date was shared (only a vague 2025), and it’s only today that Ubisoft finally revealed when it would launch on Nintendo’s brand new console. It will be on September 4th!
The announcement was made during the Star Wars Celebration event in Japan. Unfortunately, it’s pretty much all that was revealed about this version of the game there; no additional were shared, like any possible Nintendo Switch 2 features and/or additional content.
However, Ubisoft did share a trailer for A Pirate’s Fortune, the second story pack for Star Wars: Outlaws (which is included in the Season Pass on other platforms). It’s unclear when this DLC will be released on Nintendo Switch 2, though it’s possible (but not confirmed) it will be included.
Embark on a mysterious adventure with Kay and Nix to explore the Khepi system and learn what it takes to be a true leader. Team up with legendary pirate Hondo Ohnaka and face off against Stinger Tash and her Rokana Raiders as you infiltrate the Khepi Tomb to uncover the secrets and hidden treasures it holds. Along the way, you’ll discover the Miyuki Trade League who offer new rewards for the Trailblazer in exchange for smuggling dangerous goods across the galaxy.
As part of the update alongside A Pirate’s Fortune, all players will be gifted cosmetic items inspired by Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, which will include an outfit for Nix, a Trophy for the speeder and a Trinket for both the speeder and the Trailblazer! The gift will appear in your delivery crate on the Trailblazer after downloading and installing the update.
Set between the events of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Star Wars: Outlaws is an open world action-adventure game.
Experience the first-ever open world Star Wars™ game, set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Explore distinct planets across the galaxy, both iconic and new. Risk it all as Kay Vess, an emerging scoundrel seeking freedom and the means to start a new life, along with her companion Nix. Fight, steal, and outwit your way through the galaxy’s crime syndicates as you join the galaxy’s most wanted.
Star Wars: Outlaws (Switch 2) comes out on September 4th worldwide.
