"Grand Outlaws Soft Launches in US"

After a delay earlier this year, the much-anticipated mobile game Grand Outlaws has finally made its debut. Hardbit Studio has announced that the open-world mobile shooter will soft launch on Google Play in the US, starting today, May 15th. While the rest of the world will need to wait a bit longer, US Android users can now dive into the action.

The developers have utilized the additional development time to enhance the game significantly. They've expanded the locations, improved performance, and introduced more content, resulting in a broader and more stable gaming experience. This groundwork is set to pave the way for the game's full rollout later this year.

At launch, Grand Outlaws offers three core modes: Battle Royale, Racing, and Deathmatch. Each mode is designed for short-form chaos, with mobile-friendly controls and quick access to weapons, vehicles, and customizations. Players can switch between modes at will or explore the open world at their own pace.

Currently, the soft launch is exclusive to Android, but Hardbit Studio has a comprehensive multi-platform roadmap. A full release for Android and the Epic Store is slated for July or August, followed by iOS and PC versions via Steam and Epic in October. Console versions for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch are scheduled for 2026, with cross-platform play in development.

Looking forward, the studio is planning to enrich the game with additional content updates. These will include new modes such as Heists and Destruction Derby, live events, a full cinematic story mode, and enhanced customization options for characters and hideouts. Brand collaborations and seasonal content drops are also on the horizon.
