Square Enix confirmed today that the release date for Outriders has been pushed back from the original Holiday 2020 target. Outriders is now set to release on February 2, 2021.

In the leadup to the game's release, People Can Fly has shared more about the different classes available in-game, such as the Technomancer. People Can Fly is also working on an additional AAA next-gen game and has opened a fifth studio to begin this work.
When Outriders arrives, it'll be available on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PC, PS4, PS5, while it'll come to Stadia at a later unspecified date. Outriders supports a free upgrade on PS5 and Smart Delivery on Xbox, so you'll get the next-generation version for free whenever you decide to upgrade, regardless of what console you're playing on.
