Yes, Outbound is coming to Xbox Game Pass on May 11, but only on its 'Ultimate' tier (the most expensive one).

Getting to each one is typically 'blocked' by some sort of objective that requires you to find a rare material and then use a machine to refine it into something a little trickier to make. For example, you'll need to repair the electric shutter to make it to the third area, and repair the ferry to make it to the fourth area. As such, you'll need to explore each area thoroughly to find enough of the required materials (and download blueprints from the signal towers) before you can move on to the next. I've lis
