How to Preload Outriders on Xbox Game Pass

While Outriders is a brand new, AAA shooter, Xbox Game Pass subscribers can download it at no extra cost.

However, it'd be nice to get the game preloaded so that you can jump in as soon as it's out and the servers are live on April 1.

If you're an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, there's no way to preload Outriders on your console - not without buying the game at least.

However, there's a way around it, but it requires a little bit of work.

How to Preload Outriders on Xbox Game Pass

What you need to do first is download the Xbox app for your mobile device. Make sure it's the full Xbox official app, and not the Game Pass specific one.

Once you've opened up the game's page, you should see the page below.

Then, select the 'Download to Console' option and select the system you'd like to download it to, provided you've tied the console to your app.
