Developer and publisher Crunching Koalas has announced the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S release date for Heading Out, and it’s this month.
Heading Out will be hitting consoles on August 29th, with the publisher taking the reigns for both publishing and development of the PS5 and XSX versions. There’s a new trailer showing off the “cinematic thrills” of the game for console, below:
Heading Out is a narrative-focused driving game that blends high-octane chases with introspective storytelling, inspired by classic American road movies. Set in a mythologized version of the United States, players step into the shoes of a mysterious fugitive on the run—part outlaw, part folk hero—racing against fear itself across a stylized, black-and-white landscape.
Every playthrough unfolds as a unique journey, shaped by player choices, procedurally generated encounters, and a dynamic radio system that delivers commentary, news, and music tailored to the player’s actions. With branching narratives, resource management, and high-speed pursuits, Heading Out invites players to write their own legend on the open road.
Developed by Serious Sim, the game launched on Steam in May 2024 to critical acclaim for its distinctive visual style and emotionally resonant themes.
Heading Out is out now for PC (Steam), and is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X.
