After facing a delay earlier this year, the much-anticipated open-world mobile shooter, Grand Outlaws, has finally made its soft launch in the US. Developed by Hardbit Studio, the game is now available on Google Play as of May 15th, exclusively for Android users. While players outside the US will need to wait a bit longer, the worldwide and iOS release is set to follow.

The additional development time was well-spent, according to the developers. It allowed them to expand the game's locations, enhance performance, and add more content, resulting in a richer and more stable gaming experience. As Grand Outlaws gears up for its full rollout later this year, players can expect a more immersive adventure.

At launch, Grand Outlaws offers three engaging core modes: Battle Royale, Racing, and Deathmatch. Each mode is designed for quick, action-packed gameplay, with intuitive mobile controls and easy access to weapons, vehicles, and customization options. Players can seamlessly switch between modes or explore the open world at their leisure.

Currently, the soft launch is limited to Android, but Hardbit Studio has a comprehensive multi-platform roadmap in place. The full release on Android and the Epic Store is slated for July or August, with iOS and PC versions via Steam and Epic following in October. Console versions for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch are targeted for 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 full 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 game fresh and exciting.
