The Outriders demo became a smash hit after it aired earlier this week, and many of these players seem happy with what they saw. The cooperative game took seventh place on Steam’s bestseller chart this week through pre-sales, an entire month before launch.
In case you didn’t know, Outriders is the new game from the developer of Bulletstorm People Can Fly, published by Square Enix. It’s an action and sci-fi role-playing game that you can play alone or with two other friends in a squad, and the current demo is a compromise after the full version had to be postponed from February to April 1st.
Just above Outriders in the top ten is Stardew Valley – the farmer’s game was 50% off to celebrate its five-year anniversary, leading to an increase in sales. Persona 5 Strikers is occupying not one, but two places, in four and five, and Valheim remains number one, while Tale of Immortal drops from second to third. Baldur’s Gate 3 slides in ninth position, feeding on the buzz of a new patch that adds druids, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Broken Fang is in tenth.
Here is a trailer for Outriders:
