The first big Outriders update is out today on PC, PS4, and PS5 alongside official patch notes that have been shared by People Can Fly over on Reddit. Right now, there’s no word of when exactly the update will be pushed live, but People Can Fly notes it will be out within a few hours. Unfortunately, the update will not be released on Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S at the same time, and there’s no word when it will release, but People Can Fly says it will be out soon.
With the release of this patch, Crossplay between PlayStation and PC is now possible.
Crossplay between Xbox and PC/PlayStation has been temporarily disabled until the Xbox patch has released.
Crossplay between consoles and PC will be fully restored once the Xbox patch has gone live.
Will Fix a multiplayer crash that could result in client players having their inventory wiped
Will fix the crash when completing the “A Bad Day” side quest.
Will fix the crash that occurs in No Man’s Land when your language is set to Spanish (Yes, we know. Video game code is a magical thing).
Will fix crash on launch issues
Will include many more “random” crash fixes
You will still be able to manually change this setting to “Open” through your game settings
This change will prevent players from joining games where the host didn’t intend to play in multiplayer. It will also cut down on AFK lobbies
This will also help improve matchmaking times, as the queues will be less likely to be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of constant matchmaking requests generated by “open” games.
We are confident that these fixes will address the majority of crashes reported, as there are only a handful of root causes but the crashes they generate appear in a number of places.
