How to get a refund for Outriders on Xbox

The upcoming third-person co-op RPG shooter, Outriders, from People Can Fly and Square Enix is out on 1st April 2021 for PC, PlayStation and Xbox systems. This is a 60 USD game, and following a decent demo, many players might have pre-ordered it. However, players on Xbox One and Xbox Series X might want to get a refund of their Outriders purchase following the recent news that the game will be on Xbox Game Pass at launch.

Thankfully, getting a refund for your Outriders pre-order is quite easy if you act quickly.
