The big Xbox Game Pass release this week is Square Enix's Outriders, which launches this Thursday, April 1st, and we now know exactly what time the game will go live - both on Xbox and on the service itself.
It's pretty simple - on all Xbox consoles, the game will unlock at "your local midnight" on April 1st. PC players don't get the same luxury, but unfortunately Outriders isn't going to be available on Xbox Game Pass for PC anyway.
As for whether you can pre-load? There's no official word on this just yet, but you can actually do it right now by accessing the official Xbox app on your Android or iOS device and selecting the game's 'Download To Console' option.
Don't forget that all progress from the Outriders demo can be carried over to the main game, so if you're getting antsy and you want to play it right away, you can rest assured that your progress will continue this Thursday.
Looking forward to the release of Outriders on Xbox Game Pass? Let us know down below.

Looking forward to this one! I wasn't too impressed with the demo, but will happily try it now that it's on Game Pass.
Loves Bulletstorm, so hoping this is half as much fun. Then again, GoW: Judgment was rubbish, so we’ll see!
I'm really looking forward to playing this day 1 on gamepass..
Gamepass app shows you can install to play on day 1.
Edit - better state clearly, yes you can pre-install now so you can play on April 1st.
Thanks! Downloaded, can't wait to try it out
I can't seem to download it. Am I missing something?
Can’t come soon enough. Slogging through Valhalla and that’s all. I really need a shooter.
When I go to xbox app it gives me an error after pressing "download to console". Any help?
@AFCC Are you on the Game Pass app or the standard Xbox app? The standard one (just called "Xbox") works for me, but the Game Pass app doesn't.
@FraserG I figured it out. I think it had something to do with updates currently filling up the space of my console. I deleted 1 game and it worked after! Thanks!
@AFCC No worries! Glad you got it working.
