Here's when you can start to download Outriders

We're one week away from Outriders and we have everything you need to know about preload times and how you can prepare yourself for the April 1st release date!

All of this information is from Square Enix's Senior Community Manager too so it shouldn't be changed over the next week.

Preload Times

We're not going to beat about the bush, Outriders. Here's when you can start preloading the game on every available platform.

• Xbox One - From March 25th
• Xbox Series X|S - From March 25th
• PS4 - From March 30th, 48 hours prior to launch
• PS5 - From March 30th, 48 hours prior to launch
• PC (via Steam) - Unknown at the time of writing
• PC (via Epic Games Store)- EGS doesn't support pre-loading at the moment
• Google Stadia - Preloading isn't required on Stadia

We know, it isn't exactly what you want to read if you're planning to play Outriders on PC. If you've bought Outriders via the Epic Games Store, you won't be able to preload the game at all.
