New Outriders Patch Features 'Improved And Faster' Xbox Sign In Process

The latest patch for Outriders on Xbox Game Pass has dropped today, and the highlight this time around is a much-requested addition, as the Xbox sign-in process is said to have been made faster and generally improved.

According to early reports, this has resulted in a "significant" improvement for certain fans who have been able to test it, at least on Xbox Series X. Forbes' Paul Tassi has also confirmed that sign-in is "now instant" for him on Xbox.

There are plenty of other noteworthy features in the patch as well, and we've highlighted them all below:
