The Outer Worlds 2 Premium Edition Includes 5-Day Early Access

In October 29th, The Outer Worlds 2 – the second installment in Obsidian’s first-person sci-fi RPG series – is set to debut on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Preorders are already being accepted. This long-anticipated sequel will transport players back to The Outer Worlds’ depiction of the distant future, featuring fresh locations to discover, factions to ally with, and characters to enlist as companions, all while maintaining the original game’s satirical wit and distinctive retro-futuristic aesthetic.

Given that Obsidian’s latest release, Avowed, came out earlier this year, it’s particularly thrilling to anticipate a new big-budget RPG from them. What makes The Outer Worlds 2 stand out is its upcoming PS5 release, making it the next significant Microsoft-published game to do so, and also being the first Xbox first-party game priced at $80. While many Switch 2 games have reached this price point, now we’re seeing Xbox and PS5 games like The Outer Worlds 2 beginning to adopt the $80 price tag for select new launches as well.

For numerous Xbox and PC gamers, the cost isn’t much of an issue because The Outer Worlds 2 will be accessible on Game Pass on its release day. In fact, considering that one month of Game Pass Ultimate costs $20, it could be considered the most budget-friendly way to play the game, if you don’t mind only having access as long as your subscription is active. However, if you prefer owning The Outer Worlds 2, either digitally or physically, you’ll need to purchase the standard edition for $80 or the Premium Edition priced at $100, which comes with a season pass, extra DLC, and early access to the complete game. Both versions also offer additional perks for pre-ordering.

For those who prefer traditional games, you have the option to pre-purchase the boxed variants of the Standard and Premium Editions for PS5 at Best Buy. Conversely, Xbox users may find a unique situation regarding The Outer Worlds 2 physical editions. At present, the only available physical version is the $100 Premium Edition, which seems to be just a code within the box. For a clear understanding of both versions and their associated preorder incentives, we’ve provided comprehensive information below.
