new version of The Outer Worlds Coming next week, bringing updated visuals, a higher level cap, and more.
Obsidian Entertainment today announced The Outer Worlds: Astronaut’s Choice Edition, a new version of the game bringing it to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. It’s also coming out soon, March 7th to be exact. You can also get the new version of the game on PC, and if you already own it on PC, PS4 or Xbox One, you’ll be able to upgrade to the next-gen version for a discounted £5. However, if you’re buying for the first time, the all-inclusive price is £49.99.
This Spacer’s Choice Edition brings many new improvements, including improved graphics, new lighting and environment overhauls, faster load times, better performance, a dynamic weather system, and a higher level cap. The last one means you’ll have more ways to build your character from the seven branches of the skill tree.
Originally released in 2019, The Outer Worlds is clearly a game designed for fans of Fallout: New Vegas, one of the most fan-favorite games in the Bethesda series, actually created by Developed by Obsidian. iGamesNews’s The Outer Worlds review gave the game a 3/5, stating “If you’re craving somewhere where you can kill your time, babbling, giggling, and prodding the locals, you don’t Will be disappointed.”
The Outer Worlds 2 was confirmed to be in development last year at the Xbox and Bethesda Game Showcase, but not much is known about it yet. The upcoming sequel isn’t Obsidian’s only work, as it also revealed Avowed in 2020. It’s also a bit of a mystery, but a 2021 report says the game is a mix of Skyrim and The Outer Worlds.
