Outriders is a 2021 online-only cooperative action role-playing shooter game developed by People Can Fly and published by Square Enix. The game was released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on April 1, 2021.[2][3]

Outriders received mixed reviews from critics, with praise towards the gameplay, customization, and visuals, but criticism for the story and characters. While the game reached over 3.5 million players by May 2021, it's unclear if it was a commercial success because of Square Enix and People Can Fly releasing different statements on the game's commercial performance.
