Is The Outer Worlds 2 on Game Pass?

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 boss hands The Outer Worlds 2 a "7/10," hopes Obsidian spends "all of Microsoft's money" on RPGs more like Fallout New Vegas and, also, like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Obsidian wants to establish the "Obsidian RPG" with games like The Outer Worlds 2 and Avowed, not chase "what already exists" in competitors like Baldur's Gate 3 and Cyberpunk 2077

Obsidian knows that "everyone on the internet" keeps asking for Fallout: New Vegas 2, but its devs are currently happy working on their own IP, and "Xbox has been pretty supportive" too

The Outer Worlds 2 is an RPG that's as much about what you can't do as what you can: "Everybody is going to have a different experience, and they may not see everything, and that's okay"

I love that the Flaw system calls me out on my RPG behavior in The Outer Worlds 2's and then asks me to double-down on it: "Because flaws are optional, we knew we could actually push them a little bit harder"

The Outer Worlds 2 developers have one major combat tip: "Pick a lane and stick with it"

The Outer World 2's Incognito ship is your home base, but it also takes inspiration from the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars and reflects how "the player chooses to play"

The Outer Worlds 2 won't let you respec your character, even if you break your build, because the RPG's director "wouldn't let you respec your story" either

The Outer Worlds 2 director is already watching streamers create bad character builds, but that's part of the "true RPG" experience that "the Baldur's Gate 3s of the world" are helping bring back

What's the The Outer Worlds 2 release time?

My stealth build in The Outer Worlds 2 has me obsessed with a particular gadget, but every single one has "multiple purposes" because Obsidian didn't want them to be "singular use tools"

Outer Worlds 2 isn't taking one of Avowed's most helpful features because its creative director believes it would "rob the world of some of its mystery"

The Outer Worlds 2 is a love letter to Obsidian's favorite genre, and nobody knows it better than its devs: "The fact that we're able to deliver this style of RPG in this day and age is a fantastic thing"

The Outer Worlds 2 fans punished by Obsidian with hilarious debuffs for everything from dialogue skipping to "consumerism" if they purchase the $100 Premium Edition

The Outer Worlds 2 Metacritic score matches the impressive reviews for the original 2019 RPG, with the two tied as Obsidian's fifth-best games

Screw up too hard in The Outer Worlds 2 and your companions may fight you "to the death" because Obsidian wanted the RPG's cast to feel "like they're their own people"
