The second entry in Obsidian’s first-person sci-fi RPG series, The Outer Worlds 2, launches on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on October 29, and preorders are available now. The long-awaited sequel will take players back to The Outer Worlds’ vision of the far future, introducing new locations to explore, factions to join, and companions to recruit, while bringing back the satirical humor and striking retro-futurist art style of the original game.
The Outer Worlds 2 was originally slated to be the first Xbox-published game priced at $80, but Microsoft backtracked on this plan on July 23, roughly six weeks after the price was announced. The Outer Worlds 2 now has a base price of $70. It’s one of several upcoming Microsoft-published games like Gears of War: Reloaded and Ninja Gaiden 4 that are also launching simultaneously on PS5 later this year.
