"Grand Outlaws Soft Launches in US"

After a brief delay earlier this year, *Grand Outlaws* has officially soft-launched in the United States. Developed by Hardbit Studio, the open-world mobile shooter is now available on Google Play for Android users in the region as of May 15th. While global players will need to wait a bit longer, a full worldwide release and iOS version are already on the roadmap.

The extra development time allowed the team at Hardbit to enhance the game’s world, improve performance, and pack in additional content. The result is a more polished and immersive experience designed to deliver high-octane action across multiple gameplay modes. At launch, *Grand Outlaws* features three core modes: Battle Royale, Racing, and Deathmatch. Each mode is crafted for fast-paced fun with intuitive mobile controls, instant access to weapons and vehicles, and seamless customization options. Players can switch between modes freely or explore the open world at their own pace.

Although the current soft launch is exclusive to Android, Hardbit has outlined a clear multi-platform rollout plan. A full release on Android and the Epic Games Store is slated for July or August, followed by an iOS and PC launch via Steam and the Epic Store in October. Console versions for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch are set to arrive in 2026. Cross-platform play is also in active development, ensuring a connected and flexible gaming experience across devices.

Looking ahead, the studio has ambitious plans for ongoing content updates. These include new game modes such as Heists and Destruction Derby, live seasonal events, a fully fleshed-out cinematic story mode, and expanded customization features for both characters and hideouts. Additionally, brand collaborations and regular content drops are expected to keep the game fresh and engaging for players over time.

“Here, you can shoot money from a gun, steal a car dressed as Buttman, and win a Battle Royale — all before your coffee gets cold.”

– Sergey Agafonov, Lead Game Designer
