The announcement was commented by Jon Brooke, Co-Head of Studio at Square Enix External Studios, stressing the importance of cross-gen functionality:
We are thrilled to announce that we can offer Outriders players full cross-play support and a generation change upgrade plan. The best part is that even if you don't buy your PS5 or XSX right away, we'll still have your back and you won't have to wait. By purchasing OUTRIDERS for the current console generation, we will offer you the version for the next one for free
While Lee Singleton, the other Co-Head of Studio at Square Enix External Studios, highlighted the importance of cross-play:
We're taking more time to make sure players have the best Outriders experience possible. We also want to include new features like cross-play to make the game even more accessible across all platforms
