Outriders is an upcoming co-op RPG published by Square Enix. The game was announced in June of 2019 and is being developed by People Can Fly. It mixes third-person shooter and RPG elements to create an engaging sci-fi world. After a couple of delays, the game is scheduled to release on April 1 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Google Stadia.
Right now, Square Enix has released a demo for the game across all platforms (except Google Stadia) and they have today, February 27, released an update for the demo (Ver. 1.04 on PC/ Ver. 1.004 on PlayStation) - here are details on the demo and all the changes from today's update.
What is in the demo?
Square and People Can Fly promise that the demo is a demo and not a beta and therefore "will remain available indefinitely." Not only that, they share that the demo is "the start of the full game." They share that the demo is around three hours in length, will allow players to trial all classes and data will carry over into the full game.

What is in the Outriders Demo Update?
The Outriders Demo update doesn't seem to change much on either the PC or PlayStation platforms.
