Outriders’ brutal and bloody combat combines frenetic gunplay, violent powers and deep RPG systems to create a true genre hybrid.
Developed by People Can Fly · Published by Square Enix






Humanity’s settlement on the hostile planet Enoch has collapsed into conflict. As an Outrider, you travel across its dangerous regions in pursuit of a mysterious signal.
Fight through enemy encounters with third-person gunplay and class-specific powers. The four classes offer different combat styles, while the healing system encourages dealing damage rather than staying behind cover.
Collect and upgrade weapons and armor, then shape a build with gear mods, skill trees, and attribute points. World tiers let you raise the challenge for better loot; after the campaign, Expeditions and the Trial of Tarya Gratar offer further combat challenges. Play solo or in co-op with up to two others.
Players who enjoy OUTRIDERS often praise its forceful, mobile combat and the way class abilities, weapons, and gear mods combine into distinct builds. The campaign and its sci-fi setting also appeal to some, and co-op is a highlight for players who have friends to join them. Reviews also raise concerns about online disconnections and bugs, while some find the endgame repetitive or the story uneven.
