People Can Fly deployed a free Outriders' expansive demo boasts more than three hours of content, which players can even enjoy with friends on other platforms in crossplay.
The demo allows those interested in the online title to try out a good chunk of the experience. All four classes and each of the six character slots feature in the trial versions, for example. People Can Fly also made sure to include a bit of story-centric content, so players can navigate their way through Outriders' prologue and opening chapter. Once players make their way past these segments, more side content will unlock. Better still, progress made in the Outriders demo will carry over to the main game, the studio previously confirmed.
People Can Fly's Outriders demo went live across all platforms earlier in the day, but was quickly plagued with issues. Most notably, players kept encountering internet connection errors, persistent server issues that prevented them from even logging in. Aware of the ongoing issues besetting the demo's launch, People Can Fly informed fans that its "servers [were] rapidly scaling up." The studio now believes these problems are resolved, but will continue doing everything it can to meet the high demand.
It seems People Can Fly and publisher co-op shooter's intriguing gameplay will bring to the table. What this means for the forthcoming launch remains to be seen, of course.
While the studio has its hands full with wrapping up Outriders, the group's New York-based division is also busy with another AAA project. Details are scant at best, but the new endeavor is supposedly a "groundbreaking action-adventure title" that will launch on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and streaming platforms. With Outriders' release so imminent, concrete information on the mysterious new title will likely remain under wraps for a while.
Outriders launches on April 1 for Google Stadia, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S platforms.
