- Post a comment Publisher Square Enix and developer People Can Fly have delayed Outriders from its previously planned holiday 2020 release window to February 2, 2021 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. The Stadia version is due out later in 2021.
Users who purchase Outriders on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One will be able to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series version free of charge.
Additionally, Square Enix announced that Outriders will feature full cross-play and cross-generation multiplayer across all formats, meaning that players across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia will be able to play together.
“We’re very happy to announce that we can offer full cross-play support and a free next-gen upgrade plan for Outriders players,” said Square Enix External Studios co-head of studio Jon Brooke in a press release. “The great thing about this system is that even if you’re not picking up your PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X 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.”
Square Enix External Studios co-head of studio Lee Singleton added, “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.”
