Ubisoft has confirmed that Star Wars: Outlaws will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2, although fans will have to wait a bit longer as it won't be a launch title for the new console. Set to release on September 4, a few months after the Nintendo Switch 2's debut on June 5, this space adventure will offer players a chance to dive into the Star Wars universe on the go.

For those who missed it on other platforms like PS5, Xbox, and PC, Star Wars: Outlaws is set in the timeline between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. The game follows Kay Vess, a small-time criminal who finds herself targeted by a powerful cartel. Our reviewer rated it a 7, praising its fun intergalactic heist adventure and great exploration, but noted drawbacks including simplistic stealth mechanics, repetitive combat, and a few too many bugs at launch.

While Ubisoft didn't share much beyond the release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 version, this news helps update the Switch 2 Games List. This is particularly relevant for American and Canadian gamers who are currently navigating pre-order uncertainties as Nintendo evaluates the impact of new tariffs introduced by the Republican administration. Any updates on Nintendo Switch 2 game releases serve as a welcome distraction during these uncertain times.

The announcement came during a panel at Star Wars Celebration in Japan, where Ubisoft also unveiled details about the second story pack for Star Wars: Outlaws, titled A Pirate’s Fortune. In this add-on, players will see Kay Vess ally 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, adding more excitement to the game's expanding universe.
