"Grand Outlaws Soft Launches in US"

After a delay earlier this year, Grand Outlaws has finally made its debut. Hardbit Studio has confirmed that the open-world mobile shooter will soft launch on Google Play in the US. Starting today, May 15th, you can dive into the action-packed world of Grand Outlaws. However, fans outside the US will need to wait a bit longer for their chance to play.

The developers utilized the additional development time to enhance the game significantly. They expanded locations, improved performance, and introduced more content, resulting in a richer and more stable experience as the game gears up for its full global release later this year.

At launch, Grand Outlaws offers three core modes: Battle Royale, Racing, and Deathmatch. Each mode is designed for quick, intense gameplay with mobile-friendly controls and easy access to weapons, vehicles, and customizations. Players can freely switch between these modes or explore the open world at their leisure.

Currently, the soft launch is exclusive to Android users in the US, but Hardbit has a detailed multi-platform roadmap. The full Android and Epic Store releases are slated for July or August, with iOS and PC versions coming to Steam and Epic in October. Console ports for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch are planned for 2026, and cross-platform play is also in the works.

Looking ahead, Hardbit Studio is set to roll out additional content updates, including new modes like Heists and Destruction Derby, live events, a full cinematic story mode, and enhanced customization options for characters and hideouts. The studio is also considering brand collaborations and seasonal content drops to keep the game fresh and exciting.

For now, US Android users are the first to experience Grand Outlaws' soft launch starting May 15th.
