If you’ve ever dreamed of building your own off-grid life from the back of a camper van, Outbound is ready to hand you the keys. The upcoming “cozyvival” title from Square Glade Games and Silver Lining Interactive is officially cruising onto PlayStation 5 and PC (Steam) in early 2026.
Described as a cozy survival sim set in a vibrant, near-future utopia, Outbound drops you into the wilderness with nothing but a barebones van and the freedom to shape your own adventure. Whether you’re going it alone or hitting the open road with up to three friends in online co-op, this is a laid-back survival experience built around exploration, sustainability, and creativity.
Build, Explore, and Thrive—Your Way
At its core, Outbound is all about customizing your journey. Turn your simple camper van into a fully equipped rolling base, complete with solar panels, personalized furniture, and colorful paint jobs. The world is yours to explore—across multiple biomes filled with hidden secrets, useful resources, and moments of calm discovery.
Here’s what makes Outbound stand out:
-
Customize Your Camper Van – Build and upgrade your home on wheels with modular pieces, decorations, and practical add-ons.
-
Live Off the Land – Forage, farm, and cook to sustain yourself using what the world offers.
-
Sustainable Power Systems – Tap into wind, solar, and water energy to power your van and tools.
-
Go Solo or Co-op – Play at your own pace, or explore the open world with up to four players online.
-
Craft, Research, and Upgrade – Unlock new technologies and workstations to enhance your off-grid lifestyle.
Whether you’re planting crops in a sunny glade, collecting river water for your batteries, or sharing meals with friends around a campfire, Outbound aims to blend survival mechanics with a cozy, restorative atmosphere.
