Xbox's The Outer Worlds 2 Resurfaces, Coming To Game Pass In 2025

Obsidian is doing Starfield better than Bethesda.

As much as I'm looking forward to Avowed, The Outer Worlds is the true spiritual successor to Obsidian's best work. They made the right call to namedrop KOTOR, Neverwinter Nights and New Vegas in the trailer

Am I wrong or this is the first game from Xbox Game Studios that's coming day 1 on PS5? I personally find this pretty cool.

@RamiBalek Technically, I think CoD Black Ops 6 was the first Xbox first party game to go to PS5 Day One.

@awp69 You're right, how could I forget about this one? 😅

The Outer Worlds was my GOTY 2019, and Game of the Decade 2010-2019, so I'm hyped for this.

@awp69 @RamiBalek I think the honor goes to Psychonauts 2 - well..it wasn't native PS5, but it did have PS5 features via enhancements to the PS4 version when running in backwards compatibility.

I cannot wait for this. The first game was awesome. Speaking of, I need to do a replay and actually tackle the DLC since I’ve yet to play it.

Okay I know Avowed was delayed (seemingly for no technical reason, just because of a busy schedule), so they were planned to be in different years but it's still wild to me that after hearing nothing on the Outer Worlds 2 it's coming next year. I was expecting minimum 2026. The last trailer literally said: "we've done no work except put a 2 in the title" 😂. There's a chance it gets delayed till 2026 like Avowed, but either way I'll looking forward to when it launches.

(and if you haven't read the Xbox wire post you really should. They have a lot of fun with it 🤣).

2 games from obsidian in 1 year. Interestingly avowed is exclusive and outer worlds 2 seemingly coming to ps5 day 1. I still dont understand their logic. The popular guess was its new IP thats exclusive, and games that were multiplat (cod, doom, outer worlds 1) are not but we have Indy case though.

I guess we just accept the case-by-case basis and try to not be surprised with anything

@Millionski I think currently MS are testing which way brings the most money/subs.

Is it better to delay ps5 for 6month to boost GP sales, or is it better to sell ps5 day 1?

Which makes sense and fair thing to try

What an awesome trailer, and the voice over info is brilliant too.
I can't wait to play this, loved the first game...then again I just love Obsidian's games ( FNV, Pentiment, Grounded) 😁.

Yep, pretty much. I've yet to play a game where my enjoyment of it was diminished just because it got released on other platforms.

That’s was a great trailer and made me smile.
Looking forward to this one on GPU.

Damn! I’m gonna be playing outer worlds 1 (just got the expansion pass), avowed, and outer worlds 2 in 2025. That’s a lot of obsidian, and I’m in!

Trailer sure didn’t highlight what makes obsidian games great tho. Licensed music ew; this isn’t borderlands.

Xbox’s 2025 lineup is currently:

Avowed
South of Midnight
Doom: The Dark Ages
Fable
The Outer Worlds 2
Call of Duty 2025

That is insane. Fable is getting bumped to 2026 isn’t it?

Welp, it's almost time to start playing the first one. I'm still playing through Banjo-Kazooie (at the quiz part so I guess I'm pretty far along, this is my first time getting to that point in the game) and I still need to beat Witcher 3!
