Description

Ubisoft has officially released Star Wars Outlaws for the Nintendo Switch 2, bringing the highly anticipated open-world Star Wars experience to Nintendo’s latest handheld-console hybrid.

Launching worldwide, the Nintendo Switch 2 edition leverages the full potential of the hardware, offering enthusiasts portable access to the franchise’s first-ever open-world adventure.

The release marks a milestone both for Ubisoft as the game’s developer and for Nintendo as it continues to bolster its catalog of AAA franchises on the Switch 2. In conjunction with the base game’s arrival, Star Wars Outlaws on Nintendo Switch 2 introduces the comprehensive Gold Edition, which packages the main adventure with a robust Season Pass containing premium expansions and exclusive content.

According to Ubisoft’s launch announcement, the Gold Edition grants players immediate access to additional story content through the "Wild Card" and "A Pirate’s Fortune" expansions, along with unique mission experiences like "Jabba’s Gambit," and enhanced customization bundles such as the "Kessel Runner" character pack, "Hunter’s Legacy," and "Cartel Ronin" bundles. The Nintendo Switch 2 version is specifically optimized for the platform, featuring streamlined handheld controls, immersive motion sensing for in-game features, and intuitive touch navigation within menus and selected mini-games.

This tailored approach ensures that both docked and handheld play modes take full advantage of the Switch 2’s upgraded capabilities, making Star Wars Outlaws as dynamic on the go as it is at home. Players are invited to traverse iconic Star Wars locales, ranging from vibrant cities and bustling cantinas to expansive outdoor landscapes ripe for exploration by speeder.

Every environment is hand-crafted to offer fresh challenges, secret rewards, and new narratives, encouraging users to embrace the high-risk, high-reward lifestyle of a galactic outlaw.

Whether leveraging stealth mechanics, engaging in blaster battles, or employing trickery with the help of the resourceful Nix companion, players can outmaneuver enemies, complete illicit missions, and shape their reputations with the galaxy’s shadowy syndicates. A core highlight of gameplay is piloting the Trailblazer starship, with dogfights against Imperial forces and criminal adversaries presenting fast-paced, skill-based combat.

Every mission’s outcome and every tactical decision influences the evolving world and its factions, in line with Ubisoft’s commitment to reactive storytelling and engaging player agency. Star Wars Outlaws is now available for purchase on the Nintendo Switch 2 via physical retailers and the Nintendo eShop.

The launch further cements Nintendo’s strategy of delivering blockbuster third-party content on their newest platform, while marking another bold expansion for Ubisoft within the Star Wars universe.
