Grand Outlaws has finally soft launched in the US

After facing a delay earlier this year, the much-anticipated open-world mobile shooter, Grand Outlaws, has finally made its soft launch debut in the US. Hardbit Studio announced that starting May 15th, Android users in the US can dive into the action-packed world of Grand Outlaws on Google Play. While the rest of the world eagerly awaits, the developers have utilized the extra time to enhance the game significantly.

The additional development period was dedicated to expanding the game's locations, boosting performance, and introducing more engaging content. As a result, players can expect a richer and more stable gaming experience as the full rollout approaches later this year.

At its soft launch, Grand Outlaws offers three thrilling core modes: Battle Royale, Racing, and Deathmatch. These modes are designed for quick, chaotic fun, featuring intuitive mobile controls and easy access to weapons, vehicles, and customizations. Players have the freedom to switch between modes or explore the expansive open world at their leisure.

Currently exclusive to Android, Hardbit Studio has outlined an ambitious multi-platform roadmap. The full Android and Epic Store releases are slated for July or August, with iOS and PC versions via Steam and Epic following in October. Console enthusiasts can look forward to PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch versions in 2026. Cross-platform play is also on the horizon, promising an even more connected gaming community.

Looking ahead, Hardbit Studio plans to roll out further content updates, including new modes such as Heists and Destruction Derby, live events, a comprehensive cinematic story mode, and enhanced customization options for characters and hideouts. The studio also teases potential brand collaborations and seasonal content to keep the gameplay fresh and exciting.
