"Grand Outlaws Soft Launches in US"

After a much-anticipated delay earlier this year, Grand Outlaws has finally made its soft launch debut in the US. Hardbit Studio has confirmed that the open-world mobile shooter is now available on Google Play exclusively for Android users starting today, May 15th. While the rest of the world eagerly awaits its turn, US players can dive right into the action.

The developers at Hardbit Studio utilized the extra development time to enhance the game significantly. They've expanded the locations, boosted performance, and added a wealth of new content. This has resulted in a more robust and stable experience, setting the stage for the game's full global rollout later this year.

At launch, Grand Outlaws offers three engaging core modes: Battle Royale, Racing, and Deathmatch. Each mode is designed for quick, mobile-friendly gameplay, complete with easy access to weapons, vehicles, and various customizations. Players have the freedom to switch between these modes or explore the open world at their leisure.

Currently, the soft launch is Android-exclusive, but Hardbit Studio has a comprehensive multi-platform release strategy in place. The full release for Android and the Epic Store is targeted for July or August, with iOS and PC versions via Steam and Epic slated for October. Console enthusiasts will have to wait until 2026 for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch ports. Cross-platform play is also on the horizon.

Looking forward, Hardbit Studio plans to enrich Grand Outlaws with new content updates, including modes like Heists and Destruction Derby, live events, a full cinematic story mode, and enhanced customization options for both characters and hideouts. The studio is also considering brand collaborations and seasonal content drops to keep the game fresh and exciting.
