Sea of Thieves: customizing your character and transport

Lookin' good.

A Way Out is the upcoming prison house break game from the creator of fantastic and emotional indie hitting, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. While Brothers played with concept of cooperation by letting you control two characters at once, A Manner Out is a fully fledged, 2-player co-op feel. In fact, developer Hazelight is so committed to the idea that A Way Out is only playable with two — at that place's simply no option to play with an AI companion.

Local and online co-op are both bachelor, and the unabridged game plays in dissever screen even when online. The catch hither is that there's no online matchmaking. Hazelight desire players to communicate and have an emotional bond, so you're restricted to playing the game with a friend. Don't worry though, equally the A Way Out offers the unique ability to invite a buddy who doesn't fifty-fifty own the game. Yeah, you read that right: to play the entire game in co-op, simply one of y'all needs to own it. How will this piece of work? As it turns out the arrangement is really uncomplicated.

How to play A Way Out co-op with 1 copy

Whichever platform you or your friend buys the game on, A Mode Out will make apply of your friends list (that'due south your PS4 and Xbox Friends for console, or your Origin friends for PC). Boot up the game and you lot'll be able to transport anyone on your friends list an invitation. If they accept this they'll be able to download a Gratuitous Trial version of the game.

The term "Free Trial" may give the impression of some severe limitations, but A Style Out wants to practice things differently, and anyone yous invite will be able to play through the entire game with yous or anyone else they know who owns a total copy.

Unfortunately it doesn't look similar there'southward any selection for the costless player to preload the game so you'll be left waiting for their download to finish once you lot boot up, but that's a small cost to pay when getting access for gratuitous.

Isn't this just two for the price of one?

Non quite. While the invited histrion will be able to bring together you for the unabridged length of the game, they won't own a re-create of it themselves, pregnant they can't play it without y'all or invite their own friends unless they purchase the total game. What makes this better than two-for one, all the same, is the ability to invite as many players as you'd like to join you.

Points of note

So far as nosotros know, at that place are no plans for cross-play with A Mode Out and so both players demand to exist on the same platform
As stated previously, the game is only playable in co-op, pregnant if one histrion leaves or disconnects, the remaining player won't be able to go along playing
The entire game plays in splitscreen, so both role player characters are visible at all times
The game has selectable chapters, and a Gratis Trial player tin can exist invited to join whichever affiliate you desire (provided the full game histrion has unlocked them)
We don't even so know if the Free Trial thespian can earn achievements or trophies, only it seems unlikely every bit they won't technically own the game

A Style Out launches on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, March 23.
