People Can Fly’s looter-shooter spreads its wings<\/h2>

Next week will offer PC and console owners their first opportunity to jump in on People Can Fly’s new co-operative shooter, Outriders<\/em>. In a lengthy thread on Twitter, the studio laid out all of the dates and details as it pertains to the demo – which the developer specifically notes is<\/em> a demo and not a beta.<\/p>

The demo will be available to all for free, you don’t need to opt-in nor pre-order Outriders<\/em>, and will launch on PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X on February 25\/26. PlayStation players will require a PlayStation Plus account. The demo will weigh in at roughly 22-24 GB and there are no plans for a pre-load period. Fortunately, the demo is not time-limited, and is expected to run up to and even beyond the official launch of Outriders<\/em>, so don’t sweat it if you cannot get to it right away.<\/p>

<\/p>

The demo itself will offer all four character classes and six character slots. Capping out player characters at Level 7, and allowing gameplay up until the World Tier 5 difficulty setting, the demo should give players ample opportunity to take each character for a test drive and experiment with the evolving gear system. Cross-play will be supported in a beta capacity, and will require manual activation from the options. A special Discord channel<\/a> will be opened for those looking for pals or just wanting to chat about their findings.<\/p>

Finally, streamers are free to play the demo online, but People Can Fly warns that the demo’s end credits feature licensed music. Anyone pulling the trigger (no pun intended) on a full purchase will find their account and progress will carry over into the main game. Outriders<\/em> launches April 1 on PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Stadia.<\/p> <\/p>
