Grand Outlaws Soft Launches in US

After a delay earlier this year, the highly anticipated Grand Outlaws has finally made its soft launch debut in the US. Hardbit Studio has confirmed that this open-world mobile shooter is now available on Google Play for Android users starting May 15th. While the rest of the world eagerly awaits its turn, the additional development time has been well spent.

The developers at Hardbit Studio utilized the extra time to enhance the game significantly. They expanded the game's locations, improved performance, and introduced more content, resulting in a richer and more stable experience. This groundwork sets the stage for the game's full rollout planned for later this year.

At launch, Grand Outlaws offers three engaging core modes: Battle Royale, Racing, and Deathmatch. Each mode is designed for quick, chaotic fun, featuring intuitive mobile-friendly controls and easy access to weapons, vehicles, and customization options. Players can seamlessly switch between these modes or explore the open world at their leisure.

While the soft launch is exclusively for Android users, Hardbit Studio has a comprehensive multi-platform roadmap. A full release for Android and the Epic Store is scheduled for July or August, with iOS and PC versions via Steam and Epic to follow in October. Console enthusiasts can look forward to PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch versions in 2026. Additionally, cross-platform play is in the works, promising an interconnected gaming experience.

Looking ahead, Hardbit Studio plans to roll out exciting content updates. These updates will introduce new modes such as Heists and Destruction Derby, live events, a cinematic story mode, and more in-depth customization options for characters and hideouts. The studio also has plans for brand collaborations and seasonal content drops to keep the gameplay fresh and engaging.
