Outriders hada bit of a rocky launch, with players struggling to connect to servers for its first few days. In today’s release, Jon Brooke, co-head of studio at Square Enix External Studios, says that they will “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.”
Launch issues aside, we liked the game plenty in ourOutriders review, with Steve Hogarty calling it “wildly entertaining”, though ultimately he didn’t consider it varied enough to stick with. Then again, Steve hasn’t written for us since, so maybe he’s had the game running for the past 910 hours.
