Outbound Fishing Update Now Live, Adds 32 Fish Types
The update delivers a planned summer feature but keeps fishing as a cosmetic activity rather than a survival mechanic, reinforcing Outbound's slow-life focus.

Square Glade Games has released the fishing update for Outbound, the co-op camping car adventure. The update adds 32 fish types across four biomes, three craftable rods, and an aquarium for display. Fish cannot be used as food, only for collection and decoration. The update also includes new areas, a journal, and bug fixes. Outbound is available on PC, PS5, Xbox, and Switch, and on Game Pass.
The fishing element was announced for summer and has now arrived in Outbound via a free update. Players can craft three types of rods from a new Download Terminal and fish in all lakes, rivers, and seas across four biomes. Three Fisherman's Huts have been added as explorable areas, with the fourth biome's hut being larger. A total of 32 fish types and four junk items (trash and bottle caps) can be caught. Fish are rated zero to five stars and recorded in a journal; they can be placed in an aquarium inside the player's house but cannot be used as food. The update also adds new stairs and doors, along with bug fixes and performance improvements. Outbound is available on PC via Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store, and Steam, as well as PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, and is included in Game Pass on the Microsoft Store.
