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.

Reviews
A very imaginative world with great characters. Fun, exciting and challenging with a sound track that drives you crazy!
The NPC dialog os brutal.
The main story was a bit shorter than I expected. But overall I had as much fun as on the first game. I can recommend it to anyone seeking a chill game in space.
NOTE: MY YES IS ONLY A YES IF THE GAME IS ON SALE. DO NOT PAY FULL PRICE FOR THIS. This game is best described as the goyslop of games. It isn't particularly interesting, the story isn't really gripping, and the characters, writing, etc. are all one-dimensional. It feels like AI slop being created before AI slop was invented. If you have NOTHING else to play or do, and you are bored, this is fine, I guess. I squeezed out 35 hrs of gameplay, taking my sweet time. But for the average person, it's not worth it. There are a ton of games out there that are WAAY better for way less. This game's price is honestly a joke. On sale, it's expensive. At 1/3, I'd say it would be reasonable. Anyway, if you're bored and want some goyslop, go right ahead.
I enjoy the playstyle and story.
I wanted to love this game so much but i can not get into it at all, its consistently boring. The story feels so bland and runs like a potato. honestly wasted 100 bucks on the game because i feel like ill never finish it. i wished i would love the game the same as the first game but its kinda just buns.
soulless copy paste job, worth $10 max. forgettable characters, forgettable story, and lacking the charm of the first game. extremely dated engine, although you can tell they tried hard to modernize it. 6/10
왜 리스펙이 안되냐구요! 머리나쁜 디렉터~
game is good. its great even. I just don't like the fact that I have to wait 5 - 10 for shaders to compile. it's actually turned me off the game several times now when I had every intent to play it.
It's Fallout at home.
