On today’s IGN The Fix: Games, Outriders developer People Can Fly says it doesn’t know how many copies the game has sold, and hasn’t earned any royalties from the game, suggesting it hasn’t yet been profitable for publisher Square Enix. Announced on the developer’s investor website, People Can Fly explained that the agreement with Square Enix meant it would receive any royalties for the game’s first quarter on sale by August 16, 2021. No funds were transferred, which People Can Fly suggests means that, “according to the Publisher, the revenues from the sale of the game are lower than the total costs of its production (including Quality Assurance), distribution and promotion.” Marvel’s Avengers senior game designer Scott Walters has confirmed that Spider-Man is still on track to swing his way into the game for PlayStation players before the end of 2021. Speaking to Screen Rant, Walters said that Spidey was always scheduled for 2021 and that plan hasn’t changed dramatically, even with challenges brought on by COVID-19 and otherwise. Xbox Game Pass in August is already looking incredibly exciting. For starters. IGN’s Game of the Year for 2020, Hades, is coming out on August 13 for Xbox, PS4, and PS5, and will hit Xbox Game Pass for consoles and PC on the same day. Not only that, but we’ve also got Humankind (PC) on August 17, Twelve Minutes on August 19, and Psychonauts 2 on August 25, which has been receiving some tremendous feedback after the recent previews. There’s also Skate, Curse of the Dead Gods, Starmancer (Game Preview), and whole a lot more coming to Game Pass in August so far. Check below for every single title hitting the game service this month, alongside the very best Game Pass deals. Stella has all that in your Daily Fix!

Game was garbage anyways lol 😂
Game was poop
The most likely reason for this is the shitty deal they signed with their publisher.
That’s because it came with every graphics card sold for awhile
Honestly havnt played it for ages but my Outrider cute and if it wasnt an online game but more fleshed out SP game it could have been fun and a counterpoint to Destiny politeness
I’m not surprised outriders hasn’t sold much; 1) looked generic AF and 2) square is known to have absurdly high sales expectations
Forgot that game even existed. There's only 1000 people on steam currently playing it.
They don’t know because most people probably didn’t buy and just got it on games pass. Wasn’t even that great just kind of average
So many people on Twitter trying to blame gamepass this isn't a gp problem it's a Square Enix problem that needs to be looked into
The spiderman revenger…
2 or 4? what kinda range is that??? geez
Probably because outsiders is a horrible game. Haha
Xbox lame pass killed the game LOL
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This game was awful
Why don't all 3rd party games go on game pass if it's a money maker then?
In typical fashion IGN fueling more Xbox/gamepass hate. Surprise
Marvels avengers is dead
People still PLAY the avengers?
Oh right outriders is a thing
Taco yumm
Hades thx game pass
Another news on scummy and greedy AAA game publisher enslaving their devs! *gasp *mild shock
shity game….
Stella is my yellow ranger ❤️
Spider man is going to be a Chinese transgender
норм
Stella is fine 😝😉😉
300 copies that recycled through GameStop 5,000 times each.

They dont know because nobody bought the game, instead they played it through Gamepass.
They also don't know how to fix their own game too lol
Well downloading the game on gamepss isn't a sale and I'm betting thats where the majority of people will have played the game.
Maybe a lot of refunds were had.
Bit weird that Square haven't even released the sales data yet. No sales data, no People Can Fly payment. Remember, this is the same company that said Tomb Raider selling 6 Million copies was a failure. They're also the same company that said Hitman 1 & 2 were failures. But then when Hitman 3 left Square as publisher, they recouped dev cost in a week, making it profitable from then on lol.
Of course it will not sold its there in gamepass day one…
You can just Google how many copies were sold lol
Cat in the back
The intro is too long and annoying.
How well did Outriders sell on Playstation? Oh right… It didn't. Gamepass isn't to blame for a game few people wanted to begin with. And let's not forget they chose Square Enix of all publishers. The Square that called Tomb Raider and Hitman failures. The Square behind the Avengers disaster. The Square that killed Deus Ex, trying to milk it for more cash. That Square.
I'm kind a getting used to her
They know 😂 they just embarrassed to say it.
Stop posting her
Game was boring
Square Enix are some dam thieves……GTFOH!!!!
