The Outer Worlds out today

Private Division and Obsidian Entertainment have announced that The Outer Worlds is now available.

In The Outer Worlds, you awake from hibernation on a colonist ship that was lost in transit to Halcyon, the furthest colony from Earth located at the edge of the galaxy, only to find yourself in the midst of a deep conspiracy threatening to destroy it. As you explore the furthest reaches of space and encounter various factions, all vying for power, the character you decide to become will determine how this player-driven story unfolds.

Players can augment their stealth skills and don a holographic disguise and slip by unnoticed; enhance one’s engineering skills and take control of security systems to distract the enemy; or players can take a direct approach with head-on combat, and wield melee weapons, a host of firearms, or a variety of sci-fi weapons.

The Outer Worlds is available digitally on Windows PC through the Epic Games Store and Microsoft Store for the first year, at which point it will come to additional digital PC retailers. It’s also available on Xbox One and PS4, and coming later to Nintendo Switch.
