Wondering how to find Outriders' current server status? There were a lot of problems during the opening weekend and players were having trouble with various issues—whether getting stuck on screens or being booted from singleplayer is online-only, those going it solo might be affected by server issues too.

Thankfully, most of the launch day issues have been resolved—even if the terrifying legendary weapons.

It's best to go straight to the source to check the status of the Outriders servers, and Square Enix has made it easy to see when there's a problem on their dedicated Outriders servers status page.

Outriders Technomancer: your squad

There's not much information on the page itself, but at a glance you can see when the game's core components and multiplayer services are operational. As you'd expect, green means good. 

In the event that the servers are down, I also recommend checking the Outriders Twitter . People Can Fly posted frequent updates during the game's launch, and while the hiccups were frustrating, they did well to keep players in the loop when things went pear-shaped. You can also the Outriders Discord to stay in the know.

If you're still encountering problems after checking these pages, it's worth ing that the problem isn't on your PC. Sometimes hitting ALT+F4 and relaunching does the trick, and it's always worth turning your system off entirely and switching it back on again. If the issue persists, head to the Square Enix page to report it.
