Outlast Trials Players Reach an Insane Milestone

On November 8th 2025, The Outlast Trials players officially crossed a massive milestone: over 2 million rebirths. It’s a huge achievement for the community, especially considering the game hit 1 million rebirths only 11 months ago.

Quick refresher: What’s a rebirth?

Rebirths are a way of progressing your account in The Outlast Trials. You collect Release Tokens by grinding through Trials (+5 tokens) and MK Challenges (+3 tokens), and once you hit the required amount (a whopping 100 tokens), you can attempt the Rebirth Trial.

The Rebirth Trial is a genuinely tough trial, and I’m not ashamed to admit that I failed it a couple of times before succeeding the first time I ever played the trial. Once you’ve completed the trial, you get a number of rewards, a reset character (whilst keeping your unlocks and cosmetics), and of course, most importantly, the rebirth counter goes up by one.

Extra Context That Makes This Milestone Even More Impressive

2 million rebirths is already incredibly impressive, but when you consider the below two pieces of context, it’s an even greater achievement for the community:

1. The counter was reset at the 1.0 release.

When The Outlast Trials left early access, the rebirth counter was reset back to zero. If you counted the early access era, the real total would be much higher, as there were over 400,000+ rebirths during early access alone.

2. Rebirths were paused entirely during Season 3.

Between April and July, the in-game event/season Project Relapse temporarily shut down the rebirth system, after Amelia helped several Reagents escape. Rebirths would only return around 3 months later, with Season 4.

So accumulating an extra 1 million rebirths in about 8 months is just insane.

How Rebirths Work in Outlast Trials

Gather 100 Release Tokens (it used to be only 20 back in the Early Access era) through playing different trials and MK Challenges, speak to the guard in the Sleep Room, and he’ll open the metal gates to let you attempt the Rebirth Trial.

You can either complete the original rebirth solo, or the relatively new (as of Season 4) communal rebirth as a team, which places you in a random trial which you have to complete, but with added objectives to complete and some tricky variators.

Once you beat that mission, you’re officially “reborn” as a sleeper agent, and will watch one of the ending cutscenes at random, before respawning as a new reagent, ready to start once more.

Most importantly, this whole process makes the global counter ticks up by one, and you start fresh. Now just imagine that being done 2 million times. Well done Outlast community!
