Get ready, space adventurers! The Outer Worlds 2 is almost upon us, promising to deliver an even grander and more refined RPG experience than its critically acclaimed predecessor. This highly anticipated title is set to launch on October 29 across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Despite its potential, Obsidian’s ambitious sci-fi sequel might be flying under the radar this fall. Early pricing announcements caused a bit of a stir when The Outer Worlds 2 was initially announced with an $80 price tag, sparking discussions about next-gen game costs. However, the publisher quickly adjusted, confirming the price would remain at $69.99 to align with current market trends.
Our preview of The Outer Worlds 2 back in August left us thoroughly impressed. We noted that while the first game was enjoyable, this sequel’s prologue delivered the expansive, deep role-playing experience we’d truly hoped for. We’re confident that The Outer Worlds 2 is poised to be one of those rare sequels that elevate a great idea to true greatness.
The Outer Worlds 2 officially launches on October 29. However, if you’re eager to get a head start, the $99.99 Premium Edition grants you access five days earlier, between October 23-24, depending on your global timezone. Xbox Game Pass subscribers aren’t left out either; a $29.99 upgrade to the Premium Edition allows them to join the early access fun. Plus, the game is already available for pre-download, so you can be ready the moment it unlocks.
