Ubisoft has set September 4th, 2025, as the release date for Star Wars Outlaws on the Nintendo Switch 2. This game, while already available on various platforms such as Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, marks its introduction to the new Nintendo console. Initial reviews have been lukewarm, with a notable two out of five stars rating from critics, pointing out the game's lack of features seen in similar titles like Arkham and Assassin's Creed. Ubisoft hinted at a potential Switch 2 release for Assassin's Creed Shadows soon, which appears to join the roster of titles expanding to Nintendo's hardware.

Kinda wild that Outlaws is getting a Switch 2 port while still sitting at a rough two-star rating—guess Ubisoft’s really banking on that Star Wars hype to carry it. Here’s hoping Shadows learns from this if it makes the jump to Nintendo’s console too.
Interesting to see Ubisoft betting on the Switch 2 early, though it’s a shame Outlaws isn’t getting the same polish as their other franchises. Maybe Assassin’s Creed Shadows will fare better when it inevitably hits Nintendo’s new hardware.
