The Outer Worlds 2 release time is here. After being already playable in early access, and available for pre-load, the RPG will launch on PS5, PC as well as Xbox Series X simultaneously around the world. That global release time might mean you'll need to do some time zone converting to figure out when that is for you so, conveniently, I've got all the details for The Outer Worlds 2 release time below.

The Outer Worlds 2 review

We really enjoyed our time with Obsidian's RPG, and you can read our full thoughts in our The Outer Worlds 2 review.

The game's global simultaneous release time means time zone tricks, such as setting your device's clock to New Zealand time to get early, won't work. So you'll just have to wait until the right time for your location. However, don't forget that pre-loading is available now on most platforms, so if you've pre-ordered the standard edition of the game, you can start getting it installed now so you can play the moment it's live. And, if you were wondering why some people were playing it already, The Outer Worlds 2 also had an Early Access period if you paid for the Premium Edition which started on October 24.

One of the first things you need to decide is your agent's Traits in The Outer Worlds 2, which can be an important part of your build. And if you're curious to know how chunky of an RPG it is, here's how long it takes to beat The Outer Worlds 2 depending on your playstyle.
