Cozy survival game Outbound hits over 1M wishlists on Steam
On Oct. 15, 2025, the cozy open-world survival game Outbound announced that it had reached over 1 million wishlists on Steam. The game is expected to be released in the first half of 2026 for the PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The co-founder of Square Glade Games, the developers of Outbound said, “Hitting one million wishlists is a dream come true,” he then added “Our community has been incredible from day one, and now, with our backers helping us test the game hands-on, we’re one big step closer to creating the cozy road-trip experience everyone’s been waiting for.”
The game, according to the developers, is still in the final stretches of development. The developers thanked the Kickstarter backers and have begun closed playtests for those in the Beta Edition and Alpha backers. They mentioned that there are over 3,400 supporters who were invited to “test both single-player and multiplayer modes.”
Outbound is described as a cozy open-world survival game where players explore the world in their van. They can upgrade their vans as they go, and even attach solar, wind or water energy to “fuel your off-grid lifestyle.” Players are also able to invite up to four friends to join them on their road trip.
