About
The Outer Worlds 2 is the eagerly-awaited sequel to the award-winning first-person sci-fi RPG from Obsidian Entertainment (just look at the exciting number of dashes in this sentence!). Time to clear your calendar – get ready for an action-packed adventure with a new crew, new weapons, and new enemies in a new colony! So much newness!
As a daring and most likely good-looking Earth Directorate agent, you must uncover the source of devastating rifts threatening to destroy all of humanity. Your investigation leads to Arcadia, home of skip drive technology, where the fate of the colony, and ultimately the entire galaxy, rests on your decisions—your strengths, your flaws, your crew, and the factions you choose to trust.
The Arcadia colony is engulfed in a factional war, as the Protectorate’s so-called benevolent rule is challenged by the rebellion of their religious order and a corporate invasion. As destructive rifts spread across the colony, each faction fights to control or close them for their own ends. Navigate diverse zones, uncover hidden lore, and shape the fate of a system on the brink!
Build your character with the abilities and choices that reflect your playstyle. The colony reacts to your every move, crafting a narrative that’s yours to own—whether you’re a disciple of diplomacy, an astute strategist, a crusader for chaos, or something different altogether. And yes, you can dumb!
Recruit companions with unique traits, backgrounds and goals. Whether you choose to help them achieve their ambitions or steer them toward your own objectives, your influence shapes their growth (or death), making them an integral part of the immersive story you create together.
High Fidelity Graphics
Explore Arcadia with stunning visual detail. The Outer Worlds 2 supports true 4K resolution on compatible devices and unlocked framerates on PC, delivering smooth performance across sprawling alien landscapes, neon-lit cities, and fractured space environments.
Ray Tracing
Ray tracing adds depth and realism across Arcadia. From glowing rift anomalies to the reflections of neon signs on rain-soaked streets, advanced lighting, shadows, and reflections create a more dynamic and immersive experience.
DLSS, FSR, and XeSS Support
Play with optimized performance across the board. The Outer Worlds 2 supports NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS upscaling, ensuring sharp visuals and higher frame rates no matter your GPU.
HDR
Step into Arcadia with high dynamic range support. HDR enhances contrast and color depth across compatible displays, making every neon light, alien sky, and weapon blast more vivid and lifelike.
Ultra-wide Support
See more of Arcadia with ultra-wide 21:9 display support. From massive corporate facilities to the vastness of space, a wider field of view delivers a more cinematic perspective on the colony’s fractured future.
Sums Steam only; Xbox, PlayStation publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

Overall verdict: Competently (over)designed, poorly written, boring. It's a perfectly functional game with systems that work excellently together, if being a bit overly restrictive. They really want you to be a 'build.' Not a complaint per se. The game however is hideously boring, formulaic and extremely hideously written. If you can't ignore the writing, avoid.
I don't care what anyone says about Outer Worlds. Its a funny ass game that doesn't take itself seriously at all. I love how goofy it gets, I love how insane and satirical the dialogue and premise are, I love how silly the weapons and armor can get, I love how it doesn't make sense sometimes. A part of me wished this continued based off of some parts of the first game, but I'm happy with the direction it went. Some of the companions I did not care for, I had a hard time caring about their story but nonetheless I enjoyed their quests and the adventure. I <3 Outer Worlds

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 26: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Can't recommend the game. I liked the first one, but this one feels like a shallow copy. The story is lazily written, the mechanics (especially the stealth mechanics) are shallow at best, and the jokes don't work like they did in the first game. On its own, it's an okay to low tier shooter. But I'd really wait for a steep discount. I got it for around $45, and I still think that's too much.
I'm so utterly dissapointed with this game. I get that they're writing for an idiotic audience of console players, but come on. 3 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ factions, on *every planet* they're just the same? All the cool and funny satirical story elements of corporate espionage between corporations? Gone. Then we get this idiotic faction of "the protectorate" that's supposed to be space communists, but really just plays out like space feudal monarchists. It's a bigger game, with more limiting paths, which at the end of the day feels smaller. This game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥. The incentivize hyperspecialization, and don't allow you to utilize your companions for anything meaningful, you can't even ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ equip them, for ♥♥♥♥'s sake. Bring Tim Caine back as the head of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ project, because this game obviously lacked his vision. The first one was too short, that was the only problem I had with it. It needed a few more planets. The expansions were both great, a bunch of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ just couldn't change their own diapers and complained about it, because that's all ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gamers do, because they're miserable ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ losers. ♥♥♥♥ this game, ♥♥♥♥ the audience this is appealing to, and ♥♥♥♥ Microsoft for ruining one of the best studios ever.
Я до последнего не верил отзывам, пока сам не поиграл, и да - большинство отзывов не врут. Это не те Ауты, какими была первая часть. Это просто очень дешевая подделка. Вот честно, первую часть я прошел 2 раза, оригинал и ремастер, это было очень круто. Первая часть захватывает с первой сцены, где ты видишь рофлы чудаковатого профессора и понеслась - шутки, рофлы, сарказм, черный юмор - за это я и полюбил оригинальную часть. А напарники? Помните милашку Парвати или крутого и харизматичного викария Макса? Я прошел с ними бок о бок всю игру, периодически меняясь на других персонажей. Помните, да? Ну вот забудьте. В этой игре вас будут сопровождать картонные персонажи, с которыми даже неинтересно разговаривать. Их не нарядить на свой вкус, не снарядить оружием. Более того – они даже не дают бонусов к прокачке, как было в первой части. Шуток почти нет, все диалоги тупые, задания скучные, мир пустой и неинтересный, как будто играешь в дешевую подделку. За 20 часов я не встретил ни одного интересного задания, ни одного интересного персонажа. Оружие вообще не доставляет никакого удовольствия, тупо пиу-пиу, стрельба фальшивая, импакта нет. В общем да, большинство оказались правы, эта игра вышла очень плохой, проще всего вам будет посмотреть летсплей, чтобы убедиться в этом.
Whos the moron at the studio who thinks very hard should be getting 1 shot constantly and cheesing every fight?

An enjoyable New-vegas-like similar to the first game. I think the best way I can describe it is that if you're the kind of person who enjoys making skill checks or getting a unique option because of a perk and you find the campy scifi aesthetic charming then this is the game for you. Also: take dumb at character creation if you can, it has a relatively small drawback and gives you tons of dialogue options.
Tried to write a review. Hit the box to attach specs. Review closed without posting. Thanks Steam. Game is way to mediocre to try and justify it's price tag. Even more so when considering it is very demanding on both the CPU & GPU.
Stürzt regelmäßig ab, trotz Workarounds mittlerweile 9 Monaten nach Release. Ach Obsidian kauft euch wieder frei und macht ein gescheites Rollenspiel. Den halbgaren UE5 Technikschrott könnt ihr für 70 € behalten.
