The Outer Worlds 2's focus on player freedom could mingle with Bethesda's sprawling quest design for potentially fantastic results.
The Outer Worlds 2 rated M by ESRB for intense violence, gore, and strong language, set for release on October 29, 2025.
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!
Obsidian Entertainment’s The Outer Worlds 2 costs $80 on launch, and it’s a sign that Xbox Game Pass isn’t the saviour many want it to be.
Lol why single out gamepass, didnt sony former ceo just said last month prices are too low it should be higher🙄 and big Nintendo said the same thing.
Take 2 talk about charging 100$ for Gta 6 and Nba smh Microsoft just happen to have an option call gamepass that other doesnt.
" Easing Into Higher Game Prices
A smarter route, Layden assures, would've been to gradually increase game prices around $5 each console generation. That way, hitting $80 or even $90 wouldn't feel like such a shock now. “Your purchasing power, compared to your cost of living, is much smaller now than it was before."
Shawn Layden to level up

Because currently only MS is actually doing it?
Also, PlayStation does have its own service, the difference is that MS is pushing its users toward gamepass-only/service future.
On topic:
Lol the irony of “anti capitalist game” charging more based on market forces was a good one.
A very convenient push indeed.
On behalf of my pockets, thank you Gamepass!
What spin?
I have been a Gamepass subscriber since 2017!
Now with games costing $80 I have even more reasons to continue! XD
Anti-capitalist game from a publisher that was brought out by one of the worst examples of capitalism, MS. Also MS supporting Israel's actions in Gaza makes this an even bigger joke, they really are the big evil.
"In short, Microsoft have been supplying the Israeli military with gigantic storage service, 19,000 hours of technical support, and the latest innovations in computing.
The Guardian found that the leaked documents “illustrate how the US tech behemoth supported a range of sensitive activities” including managing the movement of Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. Microsoft engineers have been providing support to Israel through their analysis of “visual intelligence” – likely the innumerable drones used by the Israeli military. The scale of Microsoft’s support is such that it is providing the infrastructure of genocide, as the Guardian report:"

Not only are MS vile greedy piggies charging $80 for a game, their actions elsewhere are pure evil.
great. now we get to conflate gaming with economics, politics, and ethics. I'm sure this will go well.
MS made these choices, and a anti-capitalist game who's publisher being owed by an evil company that could come from Outer Worlds universe seems like a bad joke... but here we are.
Economics and politics to perhaps a lesser degree but lets not pretend for one second people haven't been conflating gaming with ethics for quite a while now.
You're wasting your time. The US voted to erase Gaza from the map by electing Trump and you're whining about Microsoft on a low-trafficked gaming website that can't even stay online 23 out of 24 hours in a given day.
If you have such issue with someone bringing up MS on this "low traffic website" stop"whining" about it go somewhere else
You're not just bringing up Microsoft, you're whining about geopolitics to a group of people whose biggest concerns are video games costing more money or video games having a useless physical disc.
My understanding is that israel deprived them of international aid to starve them, then they are strategically supplying food further and further south so that the Palestinians would move further and further south to where there is chance of food, so that Israel can occupy the emptied land. It’s crazy this is happening in 21st century. Not cool at all.
Problem solved. Xbox and PS games tend to drop in price very quickly over time. Don't be in a rush to buy the game at launch, and you can usually get a much improved (patched) version of the game for cheaper when it goes on sale months later.
