Hardbit has announced that Grand Outlaws - RP Life Online will officially launch worldwide on Android and iOS in late summer 2026, following a successful eight-month beta testing period. With strong player engagement and positive performance results, the open-world action game is preparing for its full global release while inviting players to jump into its already-live Android open beta.
Designed as a free-to-play, mobile-first open-world action game, Grand Outlaws combines roleplaying, competitive multiplayer, driving, and large-scale online interactions in an experience inspired by the open-ended freedom of GTA-style games.
Android Open Beta Is Live
Players don't have to wait until launch to experience Grand Outlaws. The game is already available worldwide through an international open beta on Android via Google Play, allowing players to explore the world early while providing valuable feedback ahead of the official release.
According to Hardbit, the beta is helping refine game balance, prioritize new content, and further develop the title's evolving roleplaying systems before the global launch on both Android and iOS.
"Grand Outlaws is one of the most ambitious projects we've ever taken on. The international beta on Android is already live and growing, and by the end of summer the full Grand Outlaws experience goes global-on both Android and iOS. We want the launch version to feel like something the community helped build, not something handed to them," said Michael Vaksman, CEO of Hardbit.
A Massive Open World Built Around Player Choice
Grand Outlaws places players inside a persistent online world spread across two expansive islands. From the sun-soaked streets of Suburbia to the neon skyline of City, every encounter is shaped by real players and the choices they make.
Players can build their reputation through a variety of activities, including:
- Open-world PvP combat
- High-speed police chases
- High-stakes heists
- Battle Royale matches
- Competitive standoff battles
- Skill-based driving challenges
The game's emphasis on live online interaction allows players to forge alliances, create rivalries, and develop their own stories within an evolving multiplayer environment.
