Are you a fan of Obsidian Entertainment’s The Outer Worlds at all? No problem, because as previously reported, a native PS5 edition of the role-playing release has been rated. And if you were still sceptical of the updated re-release, subtitled Spacer’s Choice Edition, here’s its freakin’ box art to prove it:
Obviously, the distribution and publishing rights to the original instalment remain with Private Division, as they pre-date Microsoft’s acquisition of the developer. That’s why the game is getting ported to Sony’s new-gen console, but its sequel won’t see release on the system. Still, at least you’ll be getting a little The Outer Worlds love on PlayStation’s latest behemoth box, eh?
Expect this to be officially announced imminently – it’s not like it’s a secret anymore, after all.

Sad we won't be getting the sequel on current-gen. I loved this game for what it was and never got around to playing the second DLC. Probably pick this up.
This is unnecessary and just a way to earn a few more bucks off playstation users before they go fully xbox exclusive.
@UltimateOtaku91 Hopefully if you already have the DLC purchased it's a free upgrade. Otherwise, yeah it's a bit of a cash grab...
multiplatform franchises going platform exclusive kind of kills my interest in them even though I own all current gen systems.
I got pretty far into it but dropped off before I could finish it. It was pretty good though. Maybe I'll try to finish it whenever I get an Xbox at some point.
Doesn't make me feel to get when any further game from the dev wont be on ps.
Kinda done with the studio since u cant play their future games
Already Platinumed this so there would be no point in me buying this.
Not really interested if the developer sold out. No reason to invest time on it. I will never get an Xbox again.
@UltimateOtaku91 this is the PS5 version and it is also coming to Xbox series X. Not necessarily a cash grab. I don't have a PS4 version, I might get this one.
@Rmg0731 Yes you can on Xbox.
I think about this when I see people say that if Microsoft gets Activision they won’t make them go exclusive.
I’m playing this now and can say this is the best Fallout game I’ve ever played.
Thank god actual new games are finally releasing, now everyone can ignore all this remaster crap!
i liked outer worlds and havent played the dlc so this might be worth a look
@Rmg0731 I agree, as a PlayStation owner I won't support them anymore. I do actually own the original game PS4 game though, I just never got around to playing it.
@BeerIsAwesome That's not true, Private Division is still the publisher of the first game.
@GorosBat By the time you’ve finished you might feel differently. It’s an ocean wide but as deep as a puddle. I still really enjoyed it but it felt like a project that ran out of money once the systems were all in place.
@UltimateOtaku91 Yeah.
But if Microsoft did not do it, people around here will be crying that Microsoft is taking dump on PlayStation users by not providing them with PS5 version. Like with Hellblade or Psychonauts 2.
Also. Publisher of The Outer Worlds is still Private Division and not Microsoft. So it's really their choice, not Microsoft's. Obsidian probably wanted to make next-gen version but Private demanded to also include PS5.
@glassmusic Completely disagree with you, this game is great, it is rare that I get so many laugh out loud moments because of dialogue choices in any game, the world is ridiculous and I love it. I'm up to Monarch which is where many people get bored of the game, but I'm having the time of my life, I'm doing every single quest I discover and can't get enough! It's also great that literally every playstyle and build works and I don't have to restart the game every time I want to mix things up.
It's funny the day after this site had to debunk the quite ridiculous Sony delayed showcase rumours, people here have their tin hats on again for this game since Obsidian is now owned by Microsoft. Can't you give it a rest, a good game is getting a PS5 version. It must be very tiring viewing the world through console fanboy lenses.
I kinda lost interest after finding nothing useful in chests after about halfway through the game. Definitely not playing through this again.
I was so hyped for this game leading up to release and then it came out and was bang average. It did not one thing particularly great and is a game I barely remember unless I see an article about it.
@GorosBat really which ones have you played because this statement is absolutely crazy to me and absolutely not true imo
@UltimateOtaku91 You mean how Playstation charges $10 for upgrades to the PS5 version of games, $70 for the Last of Us remake and $50 console prices increases, among other things. Take of your blinders. You know, if you saw the gaming world outside of your PS lenses you might find there is a lot more out there you might like.
@cburg thats an entirely different scenario lol this is a Microsoft studios who's sequel won't come to playstation but they are trying to sell the first game on playstation again.
@dark_knightmare2 3 and 4, and yes before you tell me New Vegas is the best I will say that I’ve given the Fallout series a chance and genuinely don’t have any interest in the series because of one reason, the setting. When I play a Bethesda game I want maximum immersion and the desire to explore and role play in a world that I could picture living in. The post-apocalyptic wastelands and mutated enemies are a complete turn off for me. Don’t get me wrong, I can see why people enjoy the series, it’s just a thing I like to call “my preference” and I think the Outer Worlds just has a more interesting world that appeals to me! Hope that answers your questions, but I do hope you don’t question every single person who has a differing view than yours.
@UltimateOtaku91 Of course it is a different scenario because it involves your beloved Playstation and you are drinking the koolaid. What about Deathloop, Skyrim Anniversary Edition, Ghostwire Tokio, etc.? They are owned by Microsoft. Who cares if Microsoft or Sony or Nintendo owns the studio. What about Minecraft, MLB The Show. A good game is a good game and Obsidian has made a lot of them. Plus as Liam pointed out the Private Division still owns the rights. Stop being so salty and rigid. Your incessant fanboy slobbering is ridiculous. You need to grow up and understand that there is life outside of your beloved Sony. And by the way, it is ok to like other things.
@Godot25 To be honest thats the ones i rather see indeed.
@cburg Yeah but its quite simple i have a Playstation i will never own a Xbox and i dont want to put to much time in a game where ill never be able to play the sequel. Its not salty its a choice. All these other games are also games i dont own for the same reason.
@cburg judging by your comment history I can tell what console you game on and obviously have a problem with anyonr saying anything negative towards xbox.
Il keep posting what I want especially as this is a PLAYSTATION dedicated website for playstation fans, I'd understand if I said this on purexbox but I haven't.
@UltimateOtaku91 I have no problem with anyone saying anything negative about XBOX. XBOX needs more first party friggin' games!! This year had been abysmal. My problem is the console war mentality or the us vs. them mentality. I see no reason for it. It is just petty. The other issue with your argument is that I am lucky to own all three consoles. I am a Playstation fan. Otherwise I would not have bought the PS5. And like you, I will continue to post what I want on this site.
@cburg of you see my comments on here and purexbox you would see that I also own all three consoles, I was just commenting on how I see it, it's bad for playstation gamers to buy into a series who's future titles won't be on playstation. They have already said that avowed and the pentiment are xbox exclusive so I can't see why the outer worlds 2 would be any different. Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo were different as playstation already had deals in place before the Microsoft takeover.
So a waste of time if you want to follow the series? Didn't have a PS5 when I bought it for Series S. Time for a bad playthrough.
It's at times like these I'm thankful that I'm lucky enough to be a multiplatform gamer.
@AstraeaV @Flaming_Kaiser @Nem @Rmg0731 @Jtheripper @IndoorEnthusiast @Olskeezy Same thoughts here! If I do buy the PS5 version I'll be waiting for a very dirt cheap sale or free with PS+ Essentials or Extra/Premium.
@MattT3142 I never bought the DLC, so hopefully just owning the base game will be enough to qualify for an upgrade.
That's assuming they even offer an upgrade path though...
@GorosBat my dude chill this is a forum I thought what you said was wild so I asked why you felt that way which you explained so it’s all good even though I don’t remotely agree with it.
Great game I’m currently playing through it. Can’t blame them releasing a sort of game of the year addition. I don’t see the problem with them releasing it on PlayStation to ‘make a few more bucks’, Sony do that enough with their franchises and their own fans and they love it 🤣
@KidBoruto Yeah, I've no idea with Private Division. Being under Take Two may mean paid upgrade, but we'll see...
I really tried to like this game. It looks like so much fun in trailers, but it's just a drag.
