Outriders – what is it?
Outriders is a brand new third-person shooter that’s out on April 1, 2021.
The game was developed by People Can Fly and published by Square Enix.
It’s designed with RPG elements, but is also built to be co-operative – so it’s great with mates.
You choose one of four classes (Trickster, Pyromancer, Devastator or Technomancer), and then specialise further using skill trees.

The game is set in a sci-fi world where Earth has been abandoned, and a small group of humans survived by leaving the planet on a spaceship.
Players can enjoy the game on Microsoft Windows, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S and X, and Google Stadia.
The game is also available on Xbox Game Pass as part of the standard subscription.
So as long as you have a Game Pass membership, you can play Outriders without having to pay for the full game.
There’s currently an impressive Game Pass deal running:
