Star Wars Outlaws Reportedly Coming to Nintendo Switch 2 This Fall – Here’s What We Know

gingetattoo Star Wars: Outlaws

The galaxy just got a little more portable. According to recent reports, Ubisoft’s highly anticipated Star Wars Outlaws could be landing on the Nintendo Switch 2 — yes, the not-yet-officially-confirmed-but-absolutely-happening Switch 2 — sometime this fall.

While we’re all still waiting for Nintendo to drop a logo, a trailer, or literally any form of confirmation that the Switch 2 exists, insiders are already spilling hyperspace-level tea about what games are headed its way. And topping that list? A full port of Star Wars Outlaws — the open-world Star Wars game that’s already generating buzz faster than the Millennium Falcon in a speed trap.

What Is Star Wars Outlaws?

In case you’ve been on a moisture farm, Star Wars Outlaws is an open-world action-adventure game developed by Ubisoft Massive. It stars Kay Vess, a charming scoundrel who’s making her way through the galaxy by any means necessary — usually involving blasters, bounties, and some morally flexible choices.

Think Red Dead Redemption in space — but replace the horses with speeders and the saloons with sketchy cantinas on Tatooine.

The game promises:

It’s scheduled to release this August 30, 2025, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC — and now, reportedly, the Nintendo Switch 2 shortly after.

Wait, What’s the Deal With the Switch 2?

Nintendo hasn’t officially revealed the Switch 2, but according to reports from XDA Developers, the system is expected to launch later in 2025, possibly as early as fall. Insiders claim developers already have dev kits, and several third-party publishers are prepping Switch 2 versions of their biggest games.

Enter Star Wars Outlaws, stage left.

The game is reportedly one of the marquee third-party titles planned for Switch 2’s launch window, which makes sense considering its massive mainstream appeal, cross-platform design, and the fact that it doesn’t rely on 500 hours of ray-traced reflections to function.

Will Star Wars Outlaws Run Well on Switch 2?

That’s the million-credit question.

While the current Nintendo Switch might struggle with a game of this scale (unless it’s turned into a cloud-based version like Control or Resident Evil Village), the Switch 2 is rumored to be significantly more powerful, featuring:

  • DLSS (NVIDIA’s AI upscaling wizardry)
  • Ray tracing (yes, on a Nintendo console!)
  • Faster load times
  • More memory and better GPU horsepower

With these specs, a proper native version of Star Wars Outlaws seems possible — and not just the “streamed from the cloud while your Joy-Con drifts into hyperspace” version.

Why This Matters for the Future of Star Wars Games on Nintendo

If Outlaws launches on Switch 2, it signals a major shift in how big-budget Star Wars titles are handled across platforms.

In the past, Nintendo has mostly gotten Lego Star Wars and the occasional nostalgic re-release (KOTOR anyone?). But this would be the first time a massive, story-driven AAA Star Wars title hits a Nintendo console in near-parity with Xbox and PlayStation.

It’s a big moment. Not just for Star Wars, but for Nintendo’s relationship with mature, narrative-driven games.

So, When Can You Play It?

Here’s the breakdown:

  • Main release: August 30, 2025, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC
  • Switch 2 version: Reportedly launching Fall 2025, likely as part of or shortly after the console’s debut window

There’s no official Ubisoft confirmation just yet — but where there’s smoke (and space pirates), there’s usually fire.

Final Thoughts: Outlaws Could Make the Switch 2 Launch Out of This World

If the reports are true, and Star Wars Outlaws really is part of the Nintendo Switch 2’s first wave, it’s a huge win for everyone who’s ever dreamed of exploring the Outer Rim on the go.

It’s bold, it’s ambitious, and it’s exactly the kind of crossover that turns “might buy it later” into “preorder right now.” And hey, if you can pull off a space heist during your commute, we say let the rebellion begin.
