Star Wars Outlaws Is Now On The Nintendo Switch 2

Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft's and Massive Entertainment's big release of 2024, has found its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 console. However, the game is only available as the Gold Edition , and as a Game Key-Card only title, which has drawn some criticisms from fans.

Star Wars Outlaws Switch 2 version comes with version 1.6 Title Update

The release coincided with the version 1.6 Title Update , which introduced various quality of life and fan-requested features, such as the ability to hot swap between a two-handed weapon and Kay's blaster pistol. The game is also cross-progression enabled, as long as the player uses the same Ubisoft Connect account for their Nintendo Switch 2 game as their other consoles or platforms.

Star Wars Outlaws on the Nintendo Switch 2 is Game Key-Card Only

Star Wars Outlaws is caught in the middle of the controversy surrounding Nintendo's use of game key-cards, an unpopular method of game distribution that many fans have disowned. Fans have decried the use of game key-cards due to game preservation concerns. There are also some fans who call out game key-cards as a way for publishers to cut down on costs (as game key-cards are cheaper to produce compared to game carts with full games loaded on them), although a Massive Entertainment employee clarified that the decision was made due to technical limitations of the Nintendo Switch 2.

Alternatively, players can still purchase the game online through the Nintendo eShop.
