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.

lol i shidded and farded
This game flows well with plenty of armour and weapons to play with, good story with options and a skill and perks system that mean each time you build you can unlock a different way through the game with different outcomes. I'm having a blast and I know you will too!! Recommended
idk, plays and feels weird, barely any different weapons, i always dont really understand what i even need to do And if i get it, its bugged idk, wont play it anymore
Graphics are beautiful, the game is nice and story keeps you coming back.
Not really good enough, and not as good as the first game, it is however much better than the rest of the market.
The original Outer Worlds, but more. Better graphics, a more interesting and thoughtful feat system and extra tactical options and gameplay gimmicks married to the same kind of setting and combat/stealth/dialog immersive sim gameplay. Builds on what made the original a definitely worthwhile, if maybe not completely mindblowing experience, so well worth picking up.
yup
It does everything right for an RPG with your skills, back ground and using them in game and it does everything a sequel should be I love the first game and I love this one even more
Game is fun but i cannot get past the screen tearing.... My setup: Ryzen 9 7950X, 128GB ram, RTX 4070 super, M2 ssd 2TB. on a full HD TV 60hz My game: all settings on max, frames capped at 60, V sync on GPU load under 50%, CPU load under 10% But the game keeps on screen tearing.... all vegitation is flickering like crazy. This makes it very frustrating to play and i have no idea how to fix this..
If you like playing with Mods, good Luck with running the game. Its just luck if it works. For me the first start worked well. Second not. Wont even start. LowLevelFatalError. New Shaders doesn't work since the game freeze while trying to initialize the shaders and after restart the error appears as well, No Update works, nothing. And even without mods you have to worry about crashes. Have constant crashes at the same location at Westfold.
