Many players who were considering purchasing the game but weren’t totally sold on it will now be able to hop in for no additional cost if they already have Xbox Game Pass, which is a huge win for both Microsoft and People Can Fly. 

If you’re worried about not being able to play with your friends don’t worry because Outriders has cross-play so you don’t have to worry about what platform your friends are on. 

Outriders launches in just a few weeks on April 1 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC. Of course, now it will also launch on the Xbox Game Pass service on the same day.

There is currently a free demo for the game out and your progress from the demo will carry over into the full game. If you haven’t played the demo on Xbox yet now’s the time to get a head start!
