Outriders is quite a fun game to play and will be especially enjoyed by those who love the looter shooter genre, and story-focused games. Outriders has it both. Unlike other popular looter shooter games such as The Division, it is not a live service game. But, that is according to the developers, the players who play it do indeed agree to it being a live service game. Anyway, now it seems that Outriders is finally coming to Xbox Game Pass for PC. And, it is almost here as well. Outriders is coming to Xbox Game Pass for PC today itself, October 19, 2021. And, this is something that everyone will be happy about. The developers, the Xbox Game Pass subscribers, and also the players of the game.

Outriders on Steam got the latest update today whose patch notes stated that it would be enabling cross-play with the Microsoft Store version. And, then when the game is live in the Xbox Game Pass library, then there would be a large influx of players. And, since crossplay is enabled, the players will be able to play together as well. Also with the latest update corrects issues with two mods in-game. I am talking of the Grand Opening, and Scrap Grande modes. These two mods had some unintentional bugs which are now fixed.

However, Microsoft Store and Steam crossplay is not the end of crossplay for Outriders. People Can Fly, the developer says that the team is also working on bringing the Stadia version of the game to the same level as the other platforms. And, it even plans on enabling cross-play for Stadia and the other platforms on which Outriders is available. So, it seems that regardless of the platform, soon players of Outriders would be able to play together in co-op. And, that is quite exciting, especially for those who have friends that play on different platforms, and were not play with each other due to the lack of cross-play support. And, later down the line, it is going to get even better with the addition of enabled crossplay for Stadia.

Outriders has been updated.

Today's patch:

- Adds support for crossplay with the Windows Store
- Fixes a bug that caused the Scrap Grenade and Grand Opening Mods to trigger on every shot.
