There’s a new sandbox in town, and it’s not here to play nice. Grand Outlaws from Hardbit Studio is soft launching on the Play Store in the US, setting the stage for a full release later in 2025. Imagine a world where chaos reigns, car chases are the norm, and open-world mayhem is your playground. Think of it as GTA Online but compacted for your mobile device and just as thrilling.
Instead of a barren open world, Grand Outlaws throws you into a vibrant, interactive environment where explosions are commonplace and often without reason. You can switch between Battle Royale, Racing, and Deathmatch modes or simply indulge in the chaos with outrageous skins and modified vehicles. The game isn't just about destruction; it's about personalization and fun.
Cross-platform play is on the horizon, with plans to support PC and consoles later this year. Currently, Android users in the US are the first to experience the thrill. A broader rollout is planned for 2025, which will include iOS, Steam, and consoles like PlayStation and Switch, extending the anarchy to every platform possible.
Hardbit Studio is not stopping there. They're teasing more exciting features like live concerts, brand crossovers, and a full-fledged story mode with cinematic elements. Players will be able to customize their hideouts, collect trophies, and flaunt their criminal empires. If this sounds like the kind of game your parents wouldn't want you playing at 12... well, that might just be the point.
