An update has been released for Outlook 2013 which applies to both SP1 and non-SP1 installations. It can be downloaded and installed manually, but is also being offered via Microsoft Update.
Update:
Installing this update without having Service Pack 1 installed may result in a solid blue square for the Outlook 2013 icon on the Start Screen in Windows 8. While you could uninstall the update to solve the issue, better would be to install Service Pack 1 for Office 2013.

If you have Microsoft Update configured to also update other Microsoft applications, then this update will also also be offered via Microsoft Update or has already been updated automatically for you.
Note: This update does not apply to Office 365 installations of Office 2013 but maintenance updates are usually installed automatically within a few days or can be installed manually via the Update Now button.

The first Service Pack for Office 2013 has been released just a little over 1 year after its original release.
If you have installed Office 2013 via a msi-installer, then you can install it by using the standalone installer listed below or via Microsoft Update when you have it configured to also check for Office Updates.
When you are using Office 2013 as part of an Office 365 subscription, then the update will be installed automatically after a few days, or you can force the update detection by temporarily disabling Automatic Updates in the File-> Office Account section and then directly enabling it again.

When you slipstream Service Pack 1 with your Office 2013 installation media, Office 2013 will be directly installed at Service Pack 1 level, saving you the trouble of applying it afterwards. All you need is Office 2013 Service Pack 1 and the installation file or DVD of Office 2013.
Optionally, you can also modify the installation to already accept the EULA, fill out your Product Key and customize some additional settings.
