Everything We Know About The Outer Worlds

The Outer Worlds attempts to recapture the magic of classic RPGs like Fallout. It is due for release on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on October 25, meaning it will soon be in the hands of players. (It will release on Nintendo Switch at a later date.)

There has been a huge amount of speculation about the game ever since it was first revealed. Developer Obsidian Entertainment has slowly announced more information about The Outer Worlds in recent months, building anticipation among fans for the new franchise.

With so much information now out there about the game, it might seem like a daunting task to get prepared in time for the launch. Fortunately, this article contains all the important details about The Outer Worlds in one place.

You control a character called the Stranger

As is the case with many RPGs like Fallout, the protagonist in The Outer Worlds is a little mysterious. You play as the Stranger, a crew member of a ship transporting colonists to a new world at the edge of space.

When your ship’s faster-than-light drive fails, it causes a delay in the trip, meaning you awaken from cryosleep several decades late. As you arrive at your original destination, a corporate conspiracy begins to unfold.

It will be up to you to determine how events play out and how you will influence the various factions and areas around you.

There’s a huge Day One update

It is becoming more and more common in recent times for games to receive large updates on launch day. This is largely due to the fact that consoles are connected to the web with high-speed internet. Such Day One patches allow developers to introduce improvements and fixes they have created after a game has gone gold.

The Outer Worlds is no different. Those who buy a physical copy of the game can expect to download a big update after installing the title. On Xbox One, the update will be 38 GB, while it will be just 18 GB on PlayStation 4.
