At long last, Outriders is finally set to release in a little under a week. Like most games, the new third-person shooter from Square Enix and People Can Fly will feature a substantial day one patch. Fortunately, ahead of the game’s arrival, People Can Fly has outlined a few key details about what this update will have in store.
Balancing changes for various items, mods, enemy stats and loot drops.
- Balancing is an ongoing process and we have learnt much from internal playtests, the Insiders preview and the demo over the previous months. However, we’re sure that we will continue to learn more from the launch of the main game and the feedback provided by you, our community. So, keep it coming!
Crossplay will no longer be in Beta and will be on by default.
- PC players will be able to add cross-platform players that they have previously played with to their friends lists. Consoles will receive this functionality through a future patch.
- Please note that if you turn Crossplay off manually, you will not be able to automatically matchmake with people who still have it turned on, even if you are all on the same platform. Direct inviting should still work though.
Cutscenes/dialogues frame rate improvements
- PC cutscenes will have the option to choose from 30, 60, 90 and 120fps
- Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 cutscenes will be locked to 60fps
- Xbox One and PlayStation 4 cutscenes will remain locked to 30fps
Bug fixes including, for example:
- Lore collectibles bugging out on second characters
