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.

I love this game. I just finished my third playthrough and I am still thinking about the next character I'm going to make. Build and weapon variety is really interesting. I personally found the story very intriguing, especially the second and third time around when I had more context for the events of the game. I feel like the game really rewards you for discovering everything you can in regards to notes. It's cool that you can address some of the things you learn on your own to other people or as part of quests. Even your perk build opens up new little options throughout the game which I find is neat. I know this wasn't in the game initially but I am so glad the added trans mogging to the game. Don't have to sacrifice personal style for stats which I enjoy. Led me to hunting down every single clothing option in the game, lol. Loved the companions. Loved their stories. Loved that you can tweak their builds to your liking. I actually hated Aza at first cause the whole edge lord thing doesn't really do anything for me but once you go through her story.....yeah. I found her more interesting after. And I love all of the companion banter. I know they added more getting to know each other lines post launch which I appreciate. All of the radio stations are great. I stuck to Auntie's my first playthrough but once I gave the others a chance I realized my mistake. Plus there's just extra little lore things in between songs that is nice. I cannot wait for the DLC and an increase in level cap hopefully. I feel like this game was a huge improvement to the first one in almost every way. It's just a shame that the first one was so average. Feels like folks aren't giving this game a fair chance as a result.

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.

Enjoyable
Great continuation of the story from OW1, carries forward the clever writing and sense of humor
A weak showing by Obsidian.
I like it better than the first game. Lots of fun
Its pretty good. It took a while for me to get invested in the main story, and honestly I'm not sure if I am at this point even after playing for 30hrs.. but the dialog and options for side quests and NPCs is really in depth and very well executed. The characters are really good and fun to interact with.
I'm a fan of Obsidian, and I think the Pillars of Eternity games are among the best RPGs ever made. That's why it's disappointing to admit that this just isn't a good game. As a shooter, it's very basic and becomes repetitive quickly. As an RPG, it feels shallow and lacks engaging role-playing elements. The companions aren't particularly memorable, the main story is clichéd, and the level design is the worst kind of quantity over quality. Even the first The Outer Worlds was more serviceable. It wasn't a great game either, but it was at least enjoyable enough to finish. This one never reaches that level.

Good RPG, worth playing Radio ads really work! "Aunties choice is the best choice")) Graphics could be better, the rest is great
A great dystopian space opera in every sense (listen to the jingles). There is plenty of fun to be had and the dark humour only adds to the feel. Better than the original game, this is undoubtedly a classic. The combat and sneak mechanics work well, there are always multiple ways to solve a quest which makes it interesting to plot the direction for your character development. The way the flaws pop up at humourous moments is great facet of the game. In fact all the mechanics seems to work well in the world. As for some of the criticism of the game, such as once you've killed all the inhabitants of an area there are no more, I generally saw as positives. Give it a whirl and you'll soon be humming the jingles in the real world too.
