The Outer Worlds 2 release times and preload details

Obsidian launched The Outer Worlds six years ago this week, and you can play its sci-fi sequel as soon as Friday with advanced access. If you’re waiting for the Game Pass version, or don’t want to shell out $30 more, then The Outer Worlds 2 is out next week. Either way, you’ll be defending Arcadia from an oppressive regime and vicious megacorporation soon.

My colleague Ted Litchfield has played it, and says it’s “a great RPG that surpasses its predecessor” in his The Outer Worlds 2 review. I’ve been keen on trying it since Ted mentioned you can acquire “Foot In Mouth Syndrome” through its new Flaw System—a very real and totally relatable affliction I seem to have too. Feels nice to be seen.
