Grand Outlaws Soft Launches in US

After 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 has confirmed that starting today, May 15th, you can dive into the action exclusively on Google Play for Android devices. The rest of the world will have to wait a bit longer for their turn.

The developers at Hardbit Studio have utilized the additional development time to enhance the game significantly. They've expanded locations, boosted performance, and added more content, resulting in a richer and more stable experience as the game gears up for its full global rollout later this year.

At launch, Grand Outlaws offers three core gameplay modes: Battle Royale, Racing, and Deathmatch. These modes are designed for quick, intense sessions with intuitive mobile controls and easy access to weapons, vehicles, and customization options. Players can seamlessly switch between modes or explore the open world at their own leisure.

While the soft launch is currently Android-only, Hardbit has a comprehensive multi-platform roadmap. A full release for Android and the Epic Store is set for July or August, with iOS and PC versions via Steam and Epic slated for October. Console versions for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch are planned for 2026, and cross-platform play is in the works.

Looking ahead, the studio is planning to roll out additional content updates. These will include new modes like Heists and Destruction Derby, live events, a cinematic story mode, and enhanced customization options for characters and hideouts. Brand collaborations and seasonal content drops are also on the agenda.
