There’s a new sandbox in town, and it's not here to play nice. Grand Outlaws from Hardbit Studio is set to shake up the mobile gaming world with its soft launch on Android in the US, scheduled for April 16th. This isn't just any game; it's a full-on, action-packed experience that promises to deliver chaos, car chases, and open-world mayhem. Think of it as GTA Online condensed into your hands, yet still as loud and thrilling.

Rather than just dropping you onto an empty map, Grand Outlaws immerses you in a vibrant, interactive playground where explosions are a common occurrence and often for no good reason. You can switch between Battle Royale, Racing, and Deathmatch modes at will, or spend your time customizing your character with outlandish skins and tweaking your cars to fit your criminal persona.

Cross-platform play is on the horizon, with PC and console support slated for later this year. However, Android users in the US get the first taste of the action. A global rollout is planned throughout 2025, expanding to iOS, Steam, and consoles like PlayStation and Switch, because why limit the anarchy to just one platform?

Hardbit Studio has big plans beyond the initial launch. They're teasing live concerts, brand crossovers, and a story mode complete with cinematic flair. Players will eventually be able to design their own hideouts, amass trophies, and flaunt their criminal empires. If this sounds like something your parents wouldn't have approved of back in the day... well, that's probably the point.

While you wait for the full release, why not explore some of the best open-world games to play on Android?

Speaking about their ambitious project, the Hardbit team stated, “We’ve helped create games that players love. Now we’re building a world with no limits. Grand Outlaws isn’t just a game — it’s our boldest project yet.”
