Outriders Patch Notes September 28, 2021

Outriders have received a new update that according to its patch notes brings several fixes to the game. The latest Outriders patch notes also improve the visibility of the Brood Mothers Surge AOE skill limits as well as fix an issue that would force matchmaking privacy setting to default to “Open”. However, the latest patch doesn’t bring any changes to the issues such as Moaning Winds, Fortress, or Legendary Armor Set which were recently discussed in the detailed upcoming Outriders patch notes.

Kindly note that all such issues are part of a bigger update that Square Enix is preparing to release soon and currently undergoing the usual test cycle.

The two most recent Outriders patch notes were released on August 12 and August 31 last month. These Outriders update added various quality of life changes, tweaks, changes, crash fixes, bug fixes, and more. Now, Square Enix is preparing to release another Outriders update.

Important Notes

• Please note that, as part of this patch release, we are updating some backend multiplayer infrastructure.

• This change may cause some Xbox players to not be able to engage in a multiplayer session for a period of 24 hours as of the patch release. This issue will not affect all Xbox players and may well be resolved sooner depending on your local console conditions. Note that a similar issue may affect VOIP on Xbox from functioning properly at this moment in time.

• Please note that the patch is slightly delayed on the Epic store. We are working with Epic to push it live asap.
