The space adventure gets a special collection

Recommended Videos

Obsidian’s outer-space RPG The Outer Worlds is getting a special edition for newer consoles and PC. The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition arrives on Marc꧙h 7, 2023 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Given that this version is heading to newer consoles, it’ll have a few more bells and whistles compared to the original Outer Worlds. Higher resolution graphics and improved performance, enhanced details, dynamic weather, overhauled lighting, and more all 🔴await.

And for those who missed the extra story post-launch, Spacer’s Choice links all that in too. The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition will have both DLC packs, Murder on Eridanos and Peril on Gorgon🐼, included in the package. The new version will retail for $𒉰59.99 by itself, though if you own the game on a previous system (PS4, Xbox One) or on the same PC storefront, you can upgrade to this version for $9.99.

For those looking to keep their adventure going, though, you’ll have to stay on the original platform. A Private Division spokesperson confirmed to us that saves will not transfer over to The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition.

It’s Spacer’s Choice

It’s a bit of a surprise to see The Outer Worlds get a bumped-up option for the newer consoles, but likely a welcome one for those who missed this game the first time around. Obsidian’s space adventure was certainly a little messy at times, but had some worlds and characters that made a decent impact.

With a new sequel in the works, this does seem like a decent excuse to either refresh yourself or get up-to-speed with The Outer Worlds. Or heck, even if you just need a space-centered RPG to tide you over for whenever Starfield arrives.

The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition arrives for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S꧅ on Mar💦ch 7.
