Outer Wilds, the award-winning sci-fi exploration game from developer Mobius Digital, is now available on PS5. You can enjoy this mind-bending adventure and its excellent Echoes of the Eye DLC, at 60fps, with 4K support. PS4 owners can upgrade for free, and you can even upgrade if you get the game through PS Plus Extra (confirmed in the replies), which is pretty awesome.
Publisher Annapurna Interactive announced the news on Twitter:
Not to be confused with The Outer Worlds, Outer Wilds is a fantastic experience that, like Journey, really should be experienced by everyone, as it plays with concepts and mechanics that are easy to grasp, but mind-blowing to behold.
Did you play Outer Wilds? Will you try it on PS5? Blast off in the comments section below.

Sadly the Game was removed from PS+ Extra in many European countries without warning, tells me that I have to buy the Game for 25€. Thanks Sony.
I’ll be playing through this again for maybe the 5th or 6th time. It’s my favourite experience in gaming from the last ten years.
It is an absolutely wonderful game with a wonderful, substantial DLC and I’m delighted to have another excuse to replay it all.
Good time to jump into the DLC. Truly exceptional base game.
Is the DLC included in the PS Extra version?
Seems to have been removed from PS+ Extra here in the UK. Shame. I’d added it to my “To Play” list a while back, hoping for something like this to happen…
hmmmm.... in UK it shows up under 'Premium' only, and only to stream on PS4 and not even download. Odd. I'll pass until this is sorted, if it ever is.
I'm just so glad to wait for almost all games now, both before buying and playing.
Downloaded this when it came to the subscription service, the mood hadn't hit me yet to play it, and now I get the PS5 version.
So many great games now that there is always a host of critically acclaimed experiences on the backlog, that you can play as and when they become available as part of a subscription service.
@pumpkin_head that's my thinking now too. Even if there's a new game I really like, there's plenty of other stuff to play on Extra in lieu of it rather than pay full price (or any price, in fact). And get a better version than those early payers too when it reaches Extra.
There'll be the odd exception, but for me now, gaming has never been cheaper. Well, it has, but that's when I was out on the high seas in earlier gens.
Bought outer wilds for ps4 just after it came out ,played it briefly but got sidetracked and haven't really returned to it yet,really great to have a free upgrade to ps5 4k ,60fps etc as apparently there were performance issues early on ,anyway I'll definitely get into this now its had a ps5 makeover, heard and read brilliant things about outer wilds so looking forward to it ,this is one of the many advantages I'm loving about ps5,free upgrades etc ,I'll download it later and have a gd look at this upgrade and the game itself:)
Whoah! Even if I downloaded this game on extra they give us the ps5 version? Nice, I should try this game honestly until deathloop turns up 👍👍
@IonMagi seriously? I've installed the PS4 version, can I still get the ps5 version still? 😤
PS4 version installed but there seems to be another PS4 & PS5 version that's available? So much for this offer, I'm going to try to download on ps5 and see if there is any change?
Edit: download on the PS5 and select version, will detect installed version to grant you PS5 version
The GOAT 😍 (nothing more to say FFS)
@huyi Yeah if you didnt download it before like me you cant get it via PS+ Extra atm lol
Might be the right time to jump in then - been on my wishlist for ages.
Really fun and unique game however it turns out Im not great at puzzle games (or just dont have the patience for it). The fun kind of diminished when I needed to resort to youtube in order to progress. Dont expect this game to hold your hand..
