Outriders has a firm release date and adds cross-play
Square Enix and People Can Fly have announced that Outriders will no longer release this holiday season, unless the holidays were extended 6 more weeks, but will now release on February 2, 2021.
In addition to the actual release date being revealed, it was also confirmed that Outrides will offer full cross-play, on all versions of the game, allowing you to play the game with mates, no matter the platform.
“We’re very happy to announce that we can offer full cross-play support and a free next-gen upgrade plan for OUTRIDERS players. The great thing about this system is that even if you’re not picking up your PS5 or XSX quite yet, we’ve got you covered and there’s no need to wait. If you buy the current-gen version of OUTRIDERS, we’ll give you the next-gen version for free“, said Jon Brooke, Co-Head of Studio at Square Enix External Studios.
“We’re taking a little bit longer to ensure players have the best possible experience with OUTRIDERS, we’re also including new features like Cross-Play which will make our game much more accessible on all platforms.” added Lee Singleton, Co-Head of Studio at Square Enix External Studios.
The game will release for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC, with the next generation of consoles also getting it on the same day. If you don’t get a Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 for a while, you can get a free upgrade to the versions on those platforms, as long as it’s within the same family.
