What The Outer Worlds 2 is
The Outer Worlds 2 is an adventure game developed by Obsidian Entertainment and released in 2025. It was published by Xbox Game Studios. It is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unreal Engine 5.
The premise, in the publisher's words
As a daring and most likely good-looking Earth Directorate agent, you must uncover the source of devastating rifts threatening to destroy all of humanity. Your investigation leads to Arcadia, home of skip drive technology, where the fate of the colony, and ultimately the entire galaxy, rests on your decisions—your strengths, your flaws, your crew, and the factions you choose to trust.
How it plays
It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are action and science fiction. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 58 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
The Outer Worlds 2 holds a critic score of 83 out of 100. That places it above 78% of the 7,525 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2025 averaged 78, so it scored 5 points above the year average. Players rate it 76, 7 points lower than critics did — a gap worth knowing about before you buy.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 44.7 hrs.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for AMD Ryzen 5 2600 / Intel i5-8400, 16 GB RAM and AMD RX 5700 / Nvidia GTX 1070 / Intel Arc A580. A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. It also needs around 110GB of free storage, which is a real consideration on a 512GB drive. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.

Storefront pricing varies enormously by country: Egypt is the cheapest region we track at $48.99 (about $48.99), while United Kingdom pays £59.99 — 1.6 times more. In Pakistan it is priced at Rs 49 on Steam, which is about $48.99.
