Star Wars Outlaws Is Heading To Nintendo Switch 2 Consoles This Year

April got off to a blazing start as Japanese publisher Nintendo held their much-anticipated Direct presentation, dedicated to their upcoming hardware release, the Nintendo Switch 2. During the Direct presentation, multiple first-party and third-party titles were announced to be coming to the Switch 2 console, either launching the same day as the console or sometime in 2025 and beyond.

One of the third-party releases confirmed for the Nintendo Switch 2 is Ubisoft's galactic action-adventure game, Star Wars Outlaws, which was first released for consoles and PCs on 30th August 2024. The game eventually made its way to Steam on 21st November 2024 alongside the Wild Card expansion, and at long last, the final platform release is on the horizon, which may spark some theories on the possible release of its next DLC.

Following the last patch update, Title Update 1.5.2, which was released in February 2025, developer Massive Entertainment has kept mum on what's next for the galactic action-adventure game. Well, no longer a secret as it was announced as part of their spotlight feature, which showcased multiple games from publishing and development partners, that Star Wars Outlaws is heading to the Nintendo Switch 2 console.

Taking to social media, Massive Entertainment confirmed Star Wars Outlaws will be jumping to hyperspace and onto Switch 2 consoles sometime in 2025; however, they promised that future updates on the game's Switch 2 release will be announced in the coming months. The Switch 2 console is slated to launch on 5th June 2025 globally, and Star Wars Outlaws will likely be released sometime in the months following the Switch 2's launch.

Based on the game's roadmap, unveiled in August 2024, the developer announced two story DLCs, of which the Wild Card DLC was released alongside the game's Steam launch in November 2024, and the second DLC, A Pirate's Fortune, is scheduled to launch in Spring 2025. While it seems impossible that the DLC release could coincide with Star Wars Outlaws' Switch 2 launch when it does land on the next Nintendo hardware, it's more than likely that it will launch with both DLCs alongside the base game for the complete Star Wars experience on Switch 2.
