Can you play Outriders single-player?

Outriders is a new co-op RPG shooter from Square Enix, combing frantic and aggressive shooting with traditional RPG elements.

But can the game be played alone or do you need friends?

Is Outriders Single-Player?

Square Enix has confirmed that, despite the game being intended to be multiplayer, the entire story campaign can be played in single-player or in co-op with up to three other players.

Release Date

Outriders is due to be released on April 1 2021 on PC via Steam, PS4, Xbox One, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Demo

A demo for Outriders was released in February 2020, giving players the chance to play the Prologue of the game, as well as some more content after it.

Overall, there is about three hours worth of content and any progress that is made will be carried over to the full game, meaning you won't need to replay the Prologue again and can jump straight into where you left off once the game launches on April 1.

Players who try out the demo will receive a free 'Slick and Smooth' emote to use in-game.
