Hey folks, it’s Square Glade Games chiming in! So, guess what? Outbound, that cozy little open-world game where you explore and do fun survival stuff, is hitting PlayStation 5 soon. Whether you’re flying solo or roping in three of your buddies, you start with just an empty camper van. Then it’s all about scavenging, crafting, and turning that hunk of metal into your dream house on wheels.
Oh, I’m Marc, by the way. I co-founded this thing with Tobi, who, by the way, will chime in later about what sparked the idea for this game. But more on that in a bit.
We stumbled onto this word, “cozyvival.” We’re definitely using that. It came up after we peeped into players’ reactions during Alpha. Turns out, folks liked that combo of chill vibes with some survival spice—like juggling energy and all that—but in a super chill way. Lots of games go hard in one direction, but nah, we think we’ve nailed that balance nicely in Outbound.
Alright, picture this: you’re out there solo, totally off-grid, collecting stuff on your own terms. It’s like, zen and empowering at the same time. But toss in a few friends and bam, everything amps up. It’s like road trips IRL where everyone brings their energy. Multiplayer isn’t a must, but man, it’s fun af. And hey, the PS5 transition? Smooth as butter. We love the idea of groups huddled with PlayStation Portals, gaming together on-the-go. Sounds wild, right?
Tobi here had this lightbulb moment on a road trip from Germany to the Netherlands, spotting this old camper van cruising past fields of solar panels and whatnot. That kickstarted the electric van with a green twist vibe for Outbound. Sustainability is our jam; it’s all sun power, windmills, recycling—you name it. We’re trying to keep it green even in how things look, like having sailboats instead of giant tankers gracing the backdrop.
Oh, and dog lovers, listen up. You get a pupper. A loyal, fetch-happy buddy who you can name and all that jazz. They’ll actually help gather stuff—not just for cuteness points.
Games are these rad portals into all sorts of fantasies, right? Whether it’s battling with magical beasts or just chilling in a camper van, we can’t wait for you to dive into Outbound on the PS5. Catch you on the road!
