Outward, a strategy co-op RPG from publisher Deep Silver and developer Nine Dots, has now launched on consoles and Steam. Outward is described as a punishing, uncompromising game, and while it can be played alone, Deep Silver advises that groups will stand a better chance.

Tackle the dangers that lie ahead together with drop-in and drop-out local or online multiplayer. Will one player act in support, carrying the heavy equipment and loot while the other player handles combat? Or will you choose to explore the world separately to cover more ground? Whether you choose to play in local
