Now Playing: Outriders – Official "This is Outriders" Overview Trailer | Square Enix Presents
Square said that any players whose inventory has been wiped due to the glitch will see their items restored soon. An exact date for inventory restoration is still to be determined, but the publisher hopes to have the issue ironed out in time for Outriders’ April 1 launch. Not all items will be restored; Square noted that only Legendaries will be recovered.
People Can Fly and Square are investigating other problems as well. This includes hiccups with disappearing accolades, the PlayStation’s touchpad sensitivity being too high, “further optimizations to multiplayer connections,” and improvements and bug fixes planned for the full game that weren’t possible to implement in the demo period.
The demo was patched earlier this month, which smoothened the gameplay experience by letting PC and PlayStation players toggle motion blur on and off. That toggle has been added to Xbox platforms in this latest update.
Outriders is the newest game from People Can Fly, the Polish studio that co-developed Bulletstorm and Gears of Wear 3 with Epic Games. Though it launches on April 1, Xbox Game Pass subscribers may want to cancel their Outriders preorders. The game drops on Xbox Game Pass the same day it launches on other platforms.
