After a much-anticipated wait, Hardbit Studio has thrilled fans by announcing the soft launch of their open-world mobile shooter, Grand Outlaws, in the US. Starting today, May 15th, this exciting new title is available exclusively on Google Play for Android users, with a global and iOS release to follow.
The additional time spent in development has been put to good use, enhancing the game's locations, boosting performance, and packing in more content. This ensures that players are met with a richer, more stable gaming experience as Grand Outlaws gears up for its full release later this year.
At the soft launch, players can dive into three core game modes: Battle Royale, Racing, and Deathmatch. These modes are designed for fast-paced action, featuring intuitive mobile controls and seamless access to a variety of weapons, vehicles, and customization options. Whether you're hopping between modes or exploring the open world, the game promises a dynamic and engaging experience.
While currently available only on Android, Hardbit Studio has a clear roadmap for expanding to other platforms. A full release on Android and the Epic Store is slated for July or August, with iOS and PC versions coming to Steam and Epic in October. Looking further ahead, console ports for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch are targeted for 2026, with cross-platform play also in the works.
The studio is not stopping there; they are committed to enriching the Grand Outlaws experience with future updates. Plans include new modes such as Heists and Destruction Derby, live events, a comprehensive cinematic story mode, and extensive customization for characters and hideouts. Additionally, expect brand collaborations and seasonal content to keep the game fresh and exciting.
