Yesterday, April 1, the Outriders shooter was released on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S. The game is co-op, so it requires a constant connection to the Network. Despite this feature, hackers have already hacked the project and learned how to run it through Steam.

The relevant information was shared by a user of the Reddit forum under the pseudonym OrdinaryPearson. The cybercriminals uploaded all the necessary files to launch the project in the English-language branch of the CS Rin resource dedicated to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The list includes the Outriders assembly and the hack, which must be installed on top of the game. At first, the launch of the pirated version was carried out using the demo version of the shooter, but now it is not needed either.

Visitors to the Reddit forum report that the hack works great. Moreover, with its help, players are free to have fun in co-op with users who bought Outriders on Steam. The studio People Can Fly and the publishing house Square Enix have not yet reacted in any way to the situation. However, it can be assumed that the developers will fix the vulnerability in the near future.
