After a delay earlier this year, the much-anticipated 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 for Android users starting May 15th. While the rest of the world eagerly awaits, US players can dive into the action right away.

The developers have utilized the additional development time to enhance the game significantly. They've expanded locations, improved performance, and introduced more content, resulting in a richer and more stable experience. This groundwork sets the stage for the game's full rollout later this year.

At launch, Grand Outlaws offers three core modes: Battle Royale, Racing, and Deathmatch. These modes are designed for short-form chaos, featuring mobile-friendly controls and easy access to weapons, vehicles, and customizations. Players can freely switch between modes or explore the open world at their leisure.

Currently, the soft launch is exclusive to Android, but Hardbit Studio has outlined a comprehensive multi-platform roadmap. A full release for Android and the Epic Store is slated for July or August, with iOS and PC versions via Steam and Epic following in October. Console ports for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch are planned for 2026, and cross-platform play is also in the works.

Looking ahead, the studio has ambitious plans for additional content updates. These will include new modes such as Heists and Destruction Derby, live events, a cinematic story mode, and enhanced customization options for characters and hideouts. Brand collaborations and seasonal content drops are also part of the future roadmap.

For now, US Android users are the first to experience Grand Outlaws' soft launch, starting May 15th.
