Outward Definitive Edition Upgrade FAQ

Which Platforms is Outward: Definitive Edition available on?

A: “Outward: Definitive Edition” is currently available on these platforms:

  • Steam
  • Epic Game Store
  • GOG
  • PlayStation 5
  • Xbox Series X|S

The release is digital only in most parts of the world. There is currently a physical edition planned for Japan.

B: In the PlayStation store, the Definitive Edition is shown as available for PS4 AND PS5. This is due to a technicality to make the upgrade path work on both systems. However, “Outward: Definitive Edition” is NOT available for PlayStation 4 or Xbox One or Google Stadia, and no release on those platforms is planned.


Am I eligible for a free upgrade/ free copy of the Definitive Edition?

You are eligible for a free upgrade if ONE of the following conditions is met:

  • Own a digital copy of the “Outward” standard edition AND a copy of the “The Three Brothers” DLC
  • Own the “Outward: Adventure Bundle”
  • Own a disk copy of “Outward” standard edition AND a digital copy of the “The Three Brothers” DLC


Can I still buy the standard edition of “Outward”?

A: Good news: Purchasing the Definitive Edition will entitle you to a digital copy of “Outward: Adventurer Bundle” on PC or your Gen 8 console. This does not apply cross-platform (e.g. PS5 to Xbox One or vice versa)

B: In addition, the “Outward: Adventurer Bundle” and the DLCs remain available for purchase for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.


I own the base game, but not the “The Three Brothers” DLC. Can I buy it later and make use of the free upgrade?

There is currently no time limit on the free upgrade offer, so you can buy the “The Three Brothers” DLC at any time to get the Definitive Edition.


I don’t meet the necessary requirements, but it looks like I have the Definitive Edition anyway?

We released the Definitive Edition by updating the “Outward” store page on most platforms, so your library will also reflect this change.

  • On Steam, to check if you have the Definitive Edition, right click on “Outward” in your library, select properties and go to the DLC section. The Definitive Edition should be visible as a DLC here.
  • Alternatively, you will see if you are playing the Definitive Edition through the updated logo on the Start Menu. 


I’ve started the Definitive Edition for the first time, and all my saves are gone!

Saves from the “Outward” standard edition do not carry over to the Definitive Edition, so you will have to start a whole new adventure there. But don’t worry, your saves aren’t gone or deleted. Simply start up the Outward standard edition, and you can continue where you left off.


I have discovered a bug, what do I do?

You can either submit a ticket here with us, or you can contact the developers directly with this Google form: https://forms.gle/8xUWgVDEoAP1DGjdA

The latter is the more direct route.


Does Outward support cloud saving?

Neither the standard nor the Definitive Edition of Outward support cloud saving, and there are currently no plans to implement it in the future.
