Outriders surpasses 3.5 million players in its first month

Square Enix reveals that their RPG shooter-looter Outriders has surpassed 3.5 million unique players worldwide in its first month. The new IP is officially one of Square Enix’s major franchises. Despite its rocky launch due to server issues, Outriders consistently topped the Steam charts week after week. Since its launch in April, it maintains consistent player counts on all platforms.

“With over 3.5 million unique players, average playtimes of over 30 hours, and extremely high engagement for co-operative play, we and the amazing team at People Can Fly are so excited with this initial success,” said Jon Brooke, Co-Head of Studio at Square Enix External Studios.

Brooke went on to say, “Launching a new game IP is never easy, and we remain very grateful for the community’s support and feedback – we continue to listen carefully and want to assure everyone that we are committed to improving and enhancing the experience in the coming weeks and months. We also look forward to expanding on OUTRIDERS in the future.”

Outriders is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Steam, Epic Games Store, Google Stadia, and GeForce Now. The demo is also available via the official Outriders website on all platforms.
