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
Microsoft did these guys wrong. I didn't buy this one right off becasue the price point was about $20 over what I could do. Picked it up on sale recently and it is a very solid game. Funny and improved gameplay over the first one. A shame they aren't making another one.
Good game
재밌는데 뭔가 좀 이상해 업데이트 후 실행도 안돼 fatal error
If you want a Bethesda style RPG with build crafting, unique loot, and choice and consequence; The Outer Worlds 2 does all of these things decently well. The writing ranges from excellent at times to outright cringe inducing due to it's heavy handed social commentary. You might argue it's a stylistic choice to be so disgustingly overbearing, and I would say it's simply too grating too often. The gunplay feels excellent (Honestly better than Cyberpunk sometimes). Melee feels bad. Better than Skyrim or Fallout 4, but that's not saying much 10-15 years on. The companions are meh, which is a shame. I can only remember names of Niles and Inez off the top of my head. A far cry from the days of Veronica, Boone, Arcade, Raul, Dog or... you get the point. I hope for their own sake that Avowed 2 shows them absolutely locking in to deliver the whole package. This is as close as they've gotten since New Vegas. and it's good. But good might not be good enough these days, and I expect Obsidian to be more than just good.
为啥这代npc队友不让修改装备啊 但是蛮好玩的
Runs pretty well, seems like they patched several graphical issues which were present at launch, which was my primary concern. Game is fun, similar to the first title.
So good, political commentary is pretty prime, but still not done so can't say for sure
还不错,后期有点潦草
Great game
Very Good Game, ignore the haters. They’ve done a lot things right with this sequel. My only complaints is that I waited for a sale to buy it and you can’t side with the protectorate.
