Hello gamers! I’m Philippe Morin, one of the co-founders of Red Barrels. Our first game, Outlast, is coming to PS4 today, and I’m excited to share that those of you who are PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to download it completely for free.
Outlast itself is a survival-horror game created by a team of 11 people with one common goal: to scare the *bleep* out of you.
Here’s the story so far…
So, in short, you’re a journalist who’s found himself in a very wrong place at the very wrong time. You can’t hope to defend yourself against the mutated patients of the asylum, so you have to sneak, run, and hide… or die. We’ve done our best to create a memorable roller-coaster ride, one that entertains, scares, and leaves you craving more.
In fact, one of the most fun things about watching players make their way through Outlast has been watching the terrified looks on their faces, so we decided to step things up a notch. Newly added on PS4 is a difficulty level we call “insane.” If you feel brave enough to pick this mode, you’ll have very low health, very few batteries, no checkpoints, and no chance to save your game. It’s do or die. Survive or start again.
So here it is – turn off the lights, crank up the sound, and hold tight to your controller, because true horror is coming straight to your console today.
We can’t help if you end up needing new underwear, but if you’ve got any comments or questions please post them below or poke us on Twitter or Facebook. We hope you enjoy the game!
First!?
Looking forward to downloading this later this month! :)
It seems to be awesome!!!
I can’t wait to play this! Looks great, and I’ve heard good things about it.
Thanks Phillipe Morin!! I look forward to playing your game!
we know this from yesterday and the previews, what time is it going to be uploaded though?
So excited for the game! cant wait!
also small contradiction in the post, you say outlast is out today, but at the end of the post it says true horror is coming NEXT tuesday
Post says “Today”
Phillipe Morin : “Next Tuesday”
…What? Do you guys write stuff early then it gets posted late?
Outlast. On Remote Play. With earphones. Beneath the blanket. Shivering with terror.
Should I be excited or scared?
is the store updated yet? I want this game so bad, also have FF Lighting returns pre ordered, ff x-x2 pre ordered, theif, just got the tomb raider definitive edition, i pretty much have almost all the ps4 games haha.
cant wait for later this year with all the AWESOME GAMES being released. DYING LIGHT, DESTINY, inFAMOUS, THE ORDER, WATCH DOGS, have those pre ordered too. ALWAYS A SONY FAN! Thanks for all the awesome free games as well. Playstation Plus is the best thing thats ever happened to playstation!
Hi. I don’t have anything to say right now.
Been waiting for this game since I found out it was coming to PS4. Goal is to play in one sitting, late at night, no party chat and surround sound going. It’s going to be awesome.
Tried to download it this morning but it wasn’t there. When will this be available ?
I never played a horror game and this might be my first..
BOO!
OBJECTION!
There is a contradiction in your statement just now. Is Outlast coming today or next week? The court will have the truth!
I am totally looking forward to downloading this game and trying this out. Going to be terrified… reminds me of Slender a little bit. Gotta play with the lights completely out, only you and the TV Screen, and the volume cranked up.
looks good for a first person view game. i luv horror.
People never learn. It will be up once the Store does it’s normal weekly update later today. Please remember this for the next game you want too.
My stereo headset isn’t working still. Ps4 recognizes it but still outputs audio through TV
exactly it will be out today probably in 6 or 7 hours!
I can’t believe I’m getting thos awesome game for free!!! I can’t wait to play it, thanks for thos and metro guys!
In preparation for Outlast, I played the PC version on Insane mode.
…decided to quit because 2 hit deaths are stoopid ~_~
Can’t wait! This will be my first survival horror of the new generations, keep them coming! I LOVE survival horror games and I’m very happy they are returning this generation!
I was willing to pay for Outlast no problem and am so stoked to be getting it free through PSPlus!
If only the PlayStation gold wireless headset came out today as well then I could of experienced the horror in 7.1 surround sound.
keep them coming. i heard there is a dlc coming for outlast later on, i havent even played the game and i am already craving the dlc.
i guess it’ll come out later cause it’s not in the ps store can’t wait to play this game usually i’m not into games like this but it looks awesome
its coming today in the afternoon!
Félicitations à toute l’équipe et bon lancement!
THanks for giving this game free. I am glad to have something new to play on my ps4. For a while there I was regretting getting my system early with the LACK of GAMES. NOW I HAVE SOMETHING TO PLAY ON MY DAY OFF!
Looks badass
Outlast
cant wait, excited.
My body is ready >:D
I hope it isnt over hyped! Reviews say its scary fun.
lo quiero ya
Where is it!!!!!!!!! I’ve looked everywhere on the playstation store……. Can’t find it.
I have PS4 and the only i discovered is to upgrade the system to 1.6 no game outlast stuff is not here
Dareman1974 later today once the store updates.
The stores are usually updated around 4-5pm ET. My guess it’ll be available then.
Waiting…
Does this game take any advantages of the DUALSHOCK SHOCK 4?
Well so far i have found no benefits playstation plus
@ Veselm – Sounds like you hate video games…
@ Red Barrels – I am pumped! I completed it on PC but can’t wait to play it again on PS4… I am a little disappointed there is no platinum trophy! But, it makes sense… There isn’t a whole lot you could make trophy worthy. GREAT GAME!
Hurry with the update! I’m an impatient human! D:
Morons everywhere. Anyone who has ever been on this site knows that the store doesn’t update til 2pm pst/5pm est. How many morons will it take to know that. Every single week morons are asking the question. Apparently there are many of them
Looks awesome. Take your time with the update because I have class all day.
A creepy first-person survival horror game that just happens to come out the day we get 7.1 surround-sound headphone support one PS4?
Serendipitous!
