"Grand Outlaws Soft Launches in US"

After facing a delay earlier this year, the much-anticipated open-world mobile shooter, Grand Outlaws, has officially soft launched in the US. Hardbit Studio announced that starting May 15th, Android users in the US can dive into the action-packed world of Grand Outlaws on Google Play. While the rest of the world eagerly awaits their turn, the developers have used the extra time to enhance the game's locations, boost performance, and add more engaging content, ensuring a richer and more stable experience for players.

At launch, Grand Outlaws offers three exciting core modes: Battle Royale, Racing, and Deathmatch. These modes are designed for quick, chaotic fun, featuring mobile-friendly controls and easy access to weapons, vehicles, and customization options. Players can seamlessly switch between modes or explore the expansive open world at their leisure.

Currently exclusive to Android, Hardbit Studio has outlined an ambitious multi-platform roadmap. The full release for Android and the Epic Store is slated for July or August, with iOS and PC versions following via Steam and Epic in October. Console enthusiasts can look forward to versions on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch in 2026. Cross-platform play is also in the works, promising a unified gaming experience across devices.

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