How Obsidian is enhancing The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition for PS5, out March 7

The devs dive into visual enhancements and DualSense controller haptics and adaptive triggers features.

I'd be alot more interested on rebuking the ps5 one if I knew they were releasing future titles on the ps. Doesn't appear to be the case so I'll buy a physical copy when it's cheap. I'll atleast be able to play them on gamepass so it's not all gloom

[Obscure_Observer]

No sure how business relationship between MS and Sony will be affected by ABK´s deal approval or block, but I think it´s possible to The Outer Worlds 2 to be released on the PS5.

Phil said it would be a case by case basis for some Bethesda games.

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

Outer Worlds isn’t a Bethesda title.

[porkChop]

TOW 2 was already announced and it isn't coming to PS5. They own Obsidian outright, separate from Bethesda/Zenimax.

@Sciurus_vulgaris

"Outer Worlds isn’t a Bethesda title."

My mistake. Thanks, SV!

Still, since they released the original on PS5, I see no reason for its sequel not be released on Sony´s console.

[porkChop]

It's unlikely that the sequel would come to PS5. The remaster is coming because it isn't published by Xbox. Private Division (Take-Two) own the publishing rights to the first game.

[Panhandler]

It's an amazing game sad some won't get to play future installments of it.

[Lightning77]

Interesting to see MS give marketing rights to Sony over this. Must be a ploy for the whole ABK thing. "You see I told you some our games are still supporting the competition!"

Kinda vibe.

[DarXyde]

Yeah, I suspect this is them trying to sell the whole "see? We're spreading the love!" bit.

Let's not forget, at the same time, Microsoft seems to be showing some doubt about their own odds. Spencer recently expressed that Xbox will still be around if the deal falls through. I don't think HE will still be around, but I don't think anyone doubted Xbox would be a mainstay. Just such a strange thing to say. Now with this, it REALLY feels like they're becoming more aggressive in closing the deal. I think they're getting far more resistance than they anticipated which is why they inked a deal with competitors (which was kind of stupid if the deal is based on time instead of number of products).

[thesoftware730]

I get your point, and we know MS Wants more GP subs with the A/B deal, but they will make fair concessions for the bottom line....Money, if they have to keep CoD everywhere, they will settle for the billions of $$$ they will get to further the brand one way or another.

Oh, and Phil ain't going anywhere anytime soon.

Did I miss something? Do you think if this this deal doesn't go through then Xbox is over or something?

I dunno what you read but I can assure you it's false. The whole Xbox division won't go under if the deal doesn't go through. That's just wild.

[DarXyde]

Lightning77,

Please reread what I wrote a bit more carefully.
That is the exact opposite interpretation. I'm saying that Spencer coming out to reassure people that Xbox will still be around is a very odd statement. We know that Xbox will still be around if the deal falls through (but I do question his personal future at Microsoft if it does). The fact that he said it leads me to believe they are at least less confident the deal will go through. It seems like they're really entertaining the possibility that the acquisition may not happen and him coming out to mention Xbox will be fine just feels bizarre.

No one is saying Xbox will go under. This is a trillion dollar company that survived no profits on the original Xbox, the RRoD, and a terrible console launch in that order. Of course they will be fine.

[DarXyde]

TheSoftware370,

About Phil...

I have to partly agree. If the deal goes through, yeah, I don't think he's going anywhere.

If it fails? I'm less certain about that, frankly. Ultimately, that's likely to really piss off the stakeholders and execs are very quick to push each other out if it makes the stakeholders happy.

[thesoftware730]

Whatever works, it's all fair game man.

Be happy fans get to play the game in it's best form on all platforms.

I mean, the games is already on the system, why not update and promote it..its all money. The same thing is happening with ESO, and the on the flip side, with Destiny 2 DLC.

[MadLad]

They honored every deal made prior to the acquisition. Now they're just updating the game to the newer PlayStation to take advantage of the controller.

There's not much going on here, honestly. They just want to give the best options to players. It's already known that the sequel will be just on PC and Xbox.

[-Foxtrot]

I just hope there’s faster loading between places

It’s the only issue I had with the game, like it’s fine in a game like Fallout / Elder Scrolls because most of the time you’ll be like “Meh, I’ll walk to that place, might see some cool things on the way”, but when you are planet hopping a lot for missions you can’t obviously do that.

[yeahokwhatever]

there needs to be a serious discussion about the Switch. i got this game for my Switch to play some sort of RPG in bed before I fall asleep, and good grief its and ugly, slow, horribly controlled mess. Developers need to draw a line and not release current gen titles on a device that cant hang with last gen.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Runs perfect on my Switch. Best Action RPG since Fallout: New Vegas.

[yeahokwhatever]

Ooooooof. I got the OLED switch to play pokemon with my daughters. Hilariously, the switch that doesnt switch (the lite?) is the best looking of the 3 in games, the OLED is the worst. I think due to the resolution not being better even though the screen is larger. swimming pixels on every edge. its a rough mess i havent seen since PS2/3.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

I prefer my Switch OLED screen over my 50" 4K UHDTV. That's why I sold all my Playstation stuff off. For now I'm sticking to my Switch OLED but eventually plan on getting a Series X for Starfield and a few other games. I also bought a laptop last year but I just use it for eroge VN's.

[mkis007]

Get a 50" oled instead...cant go back to lcd

[ChasterMies]

To upgrade your PS4 version, you need to buy $25 worth of DLC and then pay a $10 upgrade fee. That’s $35 to upgrade a game I bought for $20 (and then played for 2 hours and never picked up again).

[JEECE]

Sounds like you have put a lot of effort into researching the upgrade for a game you only played for two hours lol.

[JL2930]

Cringe game, had potential. I don't do social politics in gaming.

[CobraKai]

I started this game but didn’t get very far yet. It’s quite good. This gives me a reason to restart from the beginning and refresh my memory

[HyperMoused]

Its not the best choice, its spacers choice
