Star Wars Outlaws Now Available on Nintendo Switch 2: Experience the Outer Rim Like Never Before
Take the galaxy’s biggest heist on the go—optimized for Nintendo Switch 2
Today, Ubisoft officially launched Star Wars Outlaws on Nintendo Switch 2, bringing one of the most ambitious open-world Star Wars games to handheld players for the first time. Whether you're sneaking through syndicate strongholds or engaging in intense dogfights in space, fans can now experience the Outer Rim’s gritty underworld both at home and on the go.
Developed by Massive Entertainment in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, Star Wars Outlaws is also available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, Amazon Luna, Windows PC (via Ubisoft Store, Epic Games Store, and Steam), and through Ubisoft+. But for Switch 2 owners, this marks a major milestone—the first time a Star Wars open-world title arrives with console parity, complete with exclusive handheld features.
A Scoundrel’s Journey: Meet Kay Vess and Nix
In Star Wars Outlaws, players step into the shoes of Kay Vess (voiced by Canadian actor Humberly González), a cunning scoundrel on the run and her loyal companion, Nix (voiced by Star Wars: The Bad Batch star Dee Bradley Baker). Together, they’re planning one of the biggest heists the Outer Rim has ever seen, taking on deadly missions, navigating treacherous crime syndicates, and stealing their way toward freedom.
Set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, the story adds rich new lore to the Star Wars universe. It allows players to explore new and iconic planets with branching quests, moral choices, and consequences that echo across the galaxy.
Optimized for Nintendo Switch 2: Unique Ways to Play
Ubisoft has gone the extra mile to ensure that Star Wars Outlaws fully leverages the capabilities of the Nintendo Switch 2, offering an experience tailored for handheld and hybrid gamers. Features include:
- Touchscreen support for menu navigation and select mini-games
- Gyroscope-assisted aiming for enhanced precision
- Immersive motion controls integrated into key gameplay moments
- Fully optimized handheld performance, delivering stable performance on the go
Whether you're relaxing at home or commuting through hyperspace (a.k.a. the subway), this is the most portable Star Wars open-world experience ever made.
