The loot shooter Outriders has been available since April 1st. Xbox players have the opportunity to get the loot shooter at a very low price.
Why is Outriders so cheap on Xbox? Since Thursday, April 1st, Outriders is available in the Xbox Game Pass. Subscribers can play the full version of the shooter.
What is the Xbox Game Pass? It is a subscription model for Xbox and PC. You can think of it as a sort of Netflix for gamers. By subscribing, you pay a monthly fee and gain access to a large selection of great games.
How much does a subscription cost? Normally, you pay up to 12.99 euros a month for the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on Xbox. But there is a way to get the Pass for just one euro.
Update, April 2nd: Outriders is now available in the Game Pass on Xbox. We have updated the article accordingly.
Outriders on Xbox for just 1 € – What about PC?
How does it work? The prerequisites are:
- You do not currently have the Game Pass subscribed
- You have an “Xbox Live Gold” membership, which is required if you want to play online
- You can upgrade your Gold membership to the Ultimate Game Pass for just 1 €
- The subscription runs as long as your membership would run
- The Gold membership is significantly cheaper than buying the Pass directly
However, it is unclear how long this method will still work. MyMMO editor Patrick Freese just tried it on March 15th and presented the trick in detail: Caution, do not just pay 10 € for the Xbox Game Pass – I almost made the mistake
When can you play Outriders with the Game Pass? Since the official release on April 1st, Outriders is available.
Will Outriders also come to the Game Pass for PC? No. Outriders will initially only appear on Xbox consoles and via cloud gaming on Android smartphones and tablets in the Game Pass. This offer does not apply to the Game Pass on PC. However, this does not mean that Outriders could never become part of the Game Pass.
On PC, you need to download the game from Steam or the Epic Games Store.
What is Outriders? It is a third-person shooter by developer People Can Fly and publisher Square Enix. It is a mixture of RPG, loot, and story shooter with a dark sci-fi fantasy setting.
If you are still undecided or don’t know if Outriders is for you, take a look at the free demo. You can try out the first chapter and all four classes of Outriders, and you can transfer your progress to the main game.
