Outriders is a high-intensity shooter game that is set in a dark sci-fi world. The game has not been free-to-play, until now—because the Square Enix has just announced that the Outriders will be available to play for free on Steam. However, this is for a limited time only, so players who have been looking forward to getting their hands on the game need to act fast.
As per the announcement by the publishers of Outriders, Steam players can experience the looter shooter title that has so far only received a handful of content updates but is soon getting the upcoming Worldslayer DLC. Perhaps it is due to the lack of content that potential players are reluctant to commit to buying the game, which is why Square Enix has decided to offer an opportunity to anyone who is willing to try out the game for free.
How to Play Outriders for Free
The free play period for the Outriders begins on 20th June at 1 PM ET / 10 AM PDT and will end at the same time on 23rd June. While the duration is limited, the content is not. Players will have access to all the features of the game and enjoy the full Outriders experience. This is different from the demo version of the game which is available on Steam at all times and allows you to try only a limited portion of the game.
Players who start the game for the first time during the free play period can continue their progress from the demo version. Once the offer has concluded, they will be prompted to buy the game in order to retain the progress that they have covered while playing the game with all its features.
Play Outriders for Free on Steam for a Limited Time
The free play period is a great way to test the functionality of the game before deciding to buy it, which will help many serious prospective players to decide if they really want to invest in the game. The upcoming DLC called Worldslayer which launched on 30th June is also deemed to provide a huge boost to the game in terms of content and a new endgame mode.
In the game, you will be playing as one of the eponymous Outriders who are endangered and empowered with abilities that you will need to uncover. As you explore the world, you will realize that everything has been modified to challenge you, and you will need to survive in spite of it all. Outriders is available to play on PC, PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox, X|S and Xbox One.
