Although this is definitely frustrating to experience, it's not all that shocking to see Outriders having some issues in its first weekend. It seems like nearly all multiplayer or online-focused games that release tend to have some bugs in their first days after launch. Considering Outriders only just came out yesterday, and that it released to an even wider audience than normal thanks to Xbox Game Pass, it's not all that surprising to see People Can Fly having to work out some kinks. At the very least, the fact that the studio knows what the actual problem bodes well for everything getting back to normal quickly.

If you're looking to get your hands on Outriders for yourself right now, you can currently pick the game up on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC platforms. We'll also be sure to keep you in the loop if there are any further issues with the game moving forward.
