Outbound is a cozy survival game by Square Glade Games and Sega, available on PC, PS5, Xbox, Switch, and Switch 2, with a free Fishing Update now live and a seasonal roadmap for future content.
Outbound is a 4-player co-op 3D exploration game developed by Square Glade Games and published by Sega. It casts players as road-trippers driving a van through a forest park, gathering resources to build a home on top of the vehicle. The game had one of the most-played demos during February's Steam Next Fest and was fully funded on Kickstarter within two hours of launch. Key features include a Bio Burner that converts resources into electric charge, a Workbench for crafting items from downloadable blueprints, and extensive van customization with decorations like fairy lights and gingham curtains.
On June 23, 2026, Square Glade Games released the free Fishing Update for Outbound. The update adds a fishing system across all bodies of water, 32 collectible fish species across four biomes, three craftable rods, an aquarium for display, new areas, a journal, and bug fixes. Fish cannot be used as food, only for collection and decoration, reinforcing the game's slow-life focus. The update was later made available on PS5, Switch 2, and Switch on July 8, 2026, with a seasonal roadmap promising future wildlife additions.
Outbound launches on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch, and is also available on PC, Xbox, and Game Pass. The game's cozy survival mechanics include open-world exploration, camper van customization, and multiplayer features, with no enemies. The demo included a single forest biome with branching paths, a day/night cycle, a tech tree, and accessibility options, though some issues were noted with lighting decorations and inventory management.
