The sequel to The Outer Worlds is almost here, and fans of the first game are excited to return to a world dominated by powerful corporations.
Now that review scores for the new game are about to be released, it’s helpful to know the game’s release date so you can start playing as soon as possible.
Here is everything we know about The Outer Worlds 2 release date and a possible start time.
When Does The Outer Worlds 2 Release?
I’m so excited! The Outer Worlds 2 is officially coming out on October 29th! But if you pre-order the Premium Edition, you can start playing on October 24th – that’s five days early! I’m definitely considering it so I can jump in as soon as possible.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members can download and play the game when it launches, but those who want to start playing early and access all the extra content included in the Premium Edition can purchase an upgrade for $30 on the Xbox Store.
While it’s not specifically a Halloween game, players who enjoyed the original will love getting to cause chaos with corporations and characters right before the holiday.
Do We Know the Exact Release Time for The Outer Worlds 2?
The standard version of The Outer Worlds 2 will be available on the PlayStation Store at 1 PM Eastern Time on October 29th, meaning it won’t be released at midnight. However, players who have early access will be able to start playing at 12 AM Eastern Time on October 24th.
This chart shows the launch times for the regular edition of The Outer Worlds 2.
| Time Zone | The Outer Worlds 2 Standard Start Time |
|---|---|
| Eastern Time (ET) | 1 PM—October 29 |
| Central Time (CT) | 12 PM—October 29 |
| Pacific Time (PT) | 10 AM—October 29 |
| Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) | 5 PM—October 29 |
| Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) | 4 AM—October 30 |
It’s unusual that the standard version of The Outer Worlds 2 is launching at noon in the US. Most big game releases, even those with early access, become fully playable either at midnight Eastern Time or in the morning. An afternoon launch is a departure from the typical schedule.
Okay, so The Outer Worlds 2 is almost here, and I just checked out the full list of achievements and trophies you can unlock. I also found a guide on how to preload the game – it tells you how much space you’ll need to clear up on your hard drive before it officially launches. Definitely worth checking out if you’re as hyped as I am!
