Square Glade Games has locked in the final details for the launch, setting the base price at $24.99. For those ready to hit the road immediately, a 10% launch discount will be available, alongside an additional 5% savings for those who opt for the Digital Deluxe Edition bundle. While Steam, Xbox, and the Epic Games Store get the first crack at the open road, players on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and iOS will have to wait just a few extra days until May 14th to start their engines.
Instead of a standard static base, Outbound focuses on a near-future world where your vehicle is your lifeblood. You'll be managing power grids via solar panels and wind turbines while automating production lines inside your van. It’s a cozy take on the survival loop that prioritizes creative engineering over brutal combat, letting you forge a path through a vibrant, stylized wilderness.
The launch also sees the debut of the "School Bus Adventures" DLC for $2.99. This isn't just a cosmetic skin; it introduces a new chassis to customize, offering a different spatial puzzle for players who want a larger footprint for their workstations and indoor gardens. Whether you're planning a compact van build or a sprawling mobile workshop, the focus remains on living sustainably while exploring the unknown. Check back on May 11th to see how the meta for power management and automation evolves as the community starts sharing their most efficient mobile home designs.
