Outriders launched on Xbox Game Pass last week and it's already managing to hold its own against the heavy hitters such as Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone in the Microsoft Store charts.
According to one industry analyst, since its release, Outriders has made it to the 2nd and 3rd position in numerous countries in the 'Most Played Xbox Game' chart. The fact that it's managing to hold its own against huge titles such as those previously mentioned is a testament to the power Xbox Game Pass holds.
As it stands, the game is the 3rd most played in the UK/US, but has also managed to snag 2nd place in places such as Australia. They're impressive results and likely one of the reasons the game hit server issues on its launch weekend.
Going forward, Outriders is expected to get a substantial patch next week, which rectifies the crashing issues many players are experiencing. Not only that, but an Appreciation Package is also being dished out to players who have been plagued by these issues, with some exclusive content within. Overall, it seems like the game has a bright future.

Awesome to see, It's a great game.. I hope we get DLC later down the road..
Doesn't surprise me considering it's a brand new game so lots of people curious to try it out, will be even more impressive if its still there next month
It turned out way better than Avengers.
I feel like without Game Pass this game would've ended up in the same troubled position Avengers was so it was a nice shot in the arm that was probably needed for it to have longevity
@TheFrenchiestFry Well, it also helps that it’s actually a good game. Same can’t be said about Avengers.
@TheFrenchiestFry a majority of ps5 owners bought this game. And it's not because of "gamepass" just saiyan.
@awp69 I felt that the singleplayer aspect of avengers, trumped the multiplayer. A great game for $20, better when free, like psnow.
Really like this game, it's been one of my favorite launches in a long time.
Been enjoying this since day 1.
Yea, a couple of issues but nothing that stopped the fun for long. Still worth playing, especially with friends.
Gamepass has had a huge impact on these most played ranks.
It's also the #1 paid game on Xbox in the US, so I think the whole 'Game Pass users don't buy games' argument is out the window. lol
Helps that there is nothing else I want to play now
