Day one release.
Two days ago we wondered whether Microsoft’s painfully obvious hint that Outriders would be hitting Game Pass meant that Outriders would be hitting Game Pass. Turns out it definitely is. The only follow up questions being would it be a day one launch, would it be available on PC and console, and if not a day one launch how soon after.
Well we got our answers today. Day one, on Xbox and Android. Sorry PC gamers, you’ll have to buy it like everyone else. It is possible to cancel your pre-order on Xbox, however those who access the game through Game Pass will have to purchase separately the Hell’s Rangers pack.
Starting April 1 (not an April Fool’s joke, I assure you), Xbox Game Pass for Console and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members can jump into this true genre-hybrid from Square Enix, which combines brutal combat with deep RPG systems. Outriders is set in the distant future where players attempt to colonize a planet that they believe to be a new home for humanity. Turns out, the planet doesn’t want them there. Oops.
There does appear to be a good amount of pre-release hype for Outriders ahead of its April launch. The Steam version for instance hit number five on the top seller list for the week ending March 7. Outriders was developed by People Can Fly. Square Enix acting as publisher.
