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.

Amazing Game!
100% achievements on The Outer Worlds 2. The Outer Worlds 2 is a good game, but it's not as good as The Outer Worlds 1. I can't help to keep comparing OW2 to OW1, and most game changes made in OW2 were for the worse, unfortunately. I know this review is negative-leaning, but I need express my disappointments. Companions are by far my biggest issue and the biggest downgrade. 1) Less customization. You can't change your companions' weapons, armor, or attack strategy. Because I'm less responsible for their wellbeing, I feel less connected to them. 2) Backgrounds. The companions don't feel like their own distinct persons - they feel like extensions of the four factions. Feels like I'm dealing with factions spokespersons, not unique individuals. Second biggest issue is the Science weapons. The only good Science weapon (which happens to be S-tier) is The Big Bang. All other Science weapons are terrible. Every change done to the Shrink Ray from OW1 to OW2 was for the worse - far worse. Another issue is the limited perks behind skills. In OW1, the perks were pooled in player level tiers; you can mix-and-match a lot more. In OW2, almost all perks are locked behind skills. I can see the game aiming the perks to be more selective, but instead it feels more restrictive. And with the small level cap on top of that, OW2 feels that such less options are available to build your character. Related issue: feels like the Speech skill is required to have the best experience. In OW1, the there are 9 skill trees, and the final boss can be alternately defeated under 3 different maxed out skills, so 1/3 chance to avoid a tough fight. In OW2, there's 10 skill trees but only 1 can avoid the final boss tough fight, the Speech skill. Again, the vastly limited options. Another issue is locking out so many weapons and armor behind the Rift Modulator, which you get when you're 2/3 done with the game at the earliest. The pacing feels off: long slow start and progression, and then the game finally opens up.... but only after 3/4 finished with it. If you haven't played an Outer Worlds game, then you can still have a good time with The Outer Worlds 2. However, The Outer Worlds 1 is the better game in comparison.

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.

awesome
i have been enjoying this game as much as the first, its everything i could have hoped for in a sequel to one of my favorite games of all time! Its just as sarcastic, the graphics just as great, the worlds just as interesting! The story line is captivating and ties in without it just being another rehash of the same thing as the first game.
[h1]Final Score: [b]78/100[/b][/h1] The Outer Worlds 2 is a strong but technically messy RPG. The writing, companions, systems, replayability, build variety, flaws system, and moment to moment exploration are carrying it hard. The technical side is dragging it down: fatal errors, crashes, frame drops, visual glitches, texture issues, bad UI/stat clarity, a weak FedEx-style quest, and an actual softlock during another. Cautiously Reccommended.

Amazing game: graphics, gameplay, variety of choices (including difficulty settings). Plus . . . bonus, the fact I can play this game more or less maxed out on an iMac . . . . thanks to Nvidia GeForce Now. Having a blast, though only being an average (or worse) "Boomer" gamer.
buy it
i found it very lack luster compared to the first game. Some of the movements in the game feel wrong, the story is meh, as a whole i thought it would be much better but it was underwhelming to me.
Absolutely fantastic sequel to the first game! I loved everything about it, except it felt just a tad bit too long, compared to the first game. Overall, I loved it and will be replaying again in the future. Buy this now!!!
its hard to downvote an obsidian game since Im the biggest new vegas stan you will ever find (check my hours) but, this one really just missed the mark. Im sorry to say, its boring. Im fine with games where dialogue is the focus if the dialogue is good but its just not with this game. I liked the original outer worlds, even though it had rough edges. But this is somehow just not engaging in the slightest. i couldn't bring myself to finish the game. maybe things will change with dlcs but for now i cant recommend this to anyone. Im autistic as ♥♥♥♥ and can watch a single hive drone beat metal for hours in Kenshi but this is somehow less engaging.
