After a much-anticipated delay earlier this year, Grand Outlaws has finally made its grand entrance into the gaming scene. Hardbit Studio has announced the soft launch of their thrilling open-world mobile shooter exclusively on Google Play in the United States. As of today, May 15th, gamers in the US can dive into the action-packed world of Grand Outlaws. However, fans around the globe will need to hold their excitement a bit longer.
The developers at Hardbit Studio have utilized the extra time to enhance the game significantly. They've expanded the in-game locations, optimized performance, and introduced a wealth of new content, ensuring a more comprehensive and stable experience as the game gears up for its worldwide release later this year.
Upon its launch, Grand Outlaws will feature three exciting core modes: Battle Royale, Racing, and Deathmatch. These modes are designed for quick, intense gameplay, complete with mobile-friendly controls and easy access to weapons, vehicles, and customization options. Players have the freedom to switch between these modes or explore the expansive open world at their own leisure.
While the soft launch is currently limited to Android users in the US, Hardbit Studio has a clear roadmap for a multi-platform release. A full rollout for Android and the Epic Store is scheduled for July or August, with iOS and PC versions via Steam and Epic following in October. Console enthusiasts can look forward to versions on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch in 2026. Cross-platform play is also on the horizon, promising a unified gaming experience across devices.
Looking ahead, Hardbit Studio is committed to enriching the Grand Outlaws experience with additional content updates. New game modes like Heists and Destruction Derby, live events, a cinematic story mode, and enhanced customization options for characters and hideouts are all in the works. The studio is also exploring brand collaborations and seasonal content drops to keep the gameplay fresh and engaging.
