One of the biggest RPGs of the fall, as well as one of the biggest games of the year, is imminently releasing: The Outer Worlds 2, Obsidian Entertainment's ambitious follow-up to the original 2019 sci-fi adventure. It's coming to Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, PS5, and Xbox Game Pass on October 29, with its full launch just a few days away and Early Access for Premium Edition owners already underway.
Remarkably, it's the third 2025 title from the studio after Avowed and Grounded 2, and has reviewed quite strongly across outlets and Metacritic ahead of its scheduled release. Windows Central's own Samuel Tolbert gave it a glowing 4.5/5 stars in his review, writing that "Better exploration and combat buoy a tight role-playing experience that feels crunchy and isn't afraid of cutting off branches depending on player skills."
