Withits reveal at The Game Awards this past December,The Outer Worldsquickly shot up to the list of most anticipated games for the year for many watching. While it’s not known just yet when the game is actually hitting later this year, we do know at least a few more details for the game, namely that you’ll be able to pick it up in stores or grab it digitally.
Coming fromGame Informer, publisher Private Division has revealed thatThe Outer Worldswill be getting a physical release across PS4, Xbox One,and PC, outside of its release on digital platforms as well. The publisher also confirmed that the title will be priced at $60, indicating that we can expect it to a full-priced release.
At this time, neither Private Division or Obsidian has revealed just yet whenThe Outer Worldswill arrive later this year, so its release date is still up in the air. However, while the game was only formally revealed a few months ago, we do at least have some core ideas of what the game will offer.
Notably,The Outer Worldswill be open to a degree for players to explore, though it won’t quite be a true “open-world” game where players will have one giant map to explore. Instead, the game will be composed of multiple areas across two planets, which sounds a bit closer to something like theBorderlandsseries.
Likewise, it was also reported last year thatThe Outer Worldswill not feature microtransactions of any kindin the game, which should give those looking for a single-player-oriented experience something to look forward to.
Coming from the minds between the originalFalloutand developer Obsidian Entertainment, it’s no surprise thatThe Outer Worldsis a game that many will be looking forward to later this year, or at least I will. Though it’s still up in the air when the game is actually arriving, I’m just excited to get to know more about what’s in store from Obsidian’s new world to explore.
The Outer Worldsis expected to to release for PS4, Xbox One, and PC later this year.
UPDATE:Private Division has reached out toDualShockersin order to clarify thatThe Outer Worldswill only be receiving a physical release on PS4 and Xbox One. PC players will only be able to get the game digitally via Steam.
