• Our Discord (Discord.gg/Outriders) has been set up with plenty of Looking-For-Group voice channels in case you’re looking to party up with any other players in particular.
  

• There is no time limit, either for playing or for accessing it prior to launch. The demo is also planned to remain live beyond launch.
  
• The demo includes the game’s prologue & opening chapter. This means that gear & enemies that you come across will be the early game variants. The further you get in the full Outriders story, the more twisted, exotic and powerful both gear & enemies will become
  
• The demo runs up until the showdown with Gauss, the first rival Altered who may be even more dangerous than you.
  - Some side missions unlock after defeating Gauss so you will be able to go back and explore the world.
