The Outer Worlds 2 Is an $80 Game on PS5, as Xbox Continues to Push Game Pass

From what we’ve observed thus far, The Outer Worlds 2 seems to be an extremely strong sequel; however, its recently revealed cost may dampen some of the enthusiasm surrounding it.

On the Steam listing for the game, The Outer Worlds 2 will retail for $80 or £70 upon release. This decision aligns with Microsoft’s announcement that they plan to price certain titles more expensively in the latter part of this year.

In the past few months, both Sony and Nintendo have faced criticism for similar choices they’ve made, so it’s intriguing to see how The Outer Worlds 2 will be accepted when it becomes accessible to the public in October.

Indeed, it’s important to note that this isn’t just any game; Obsidian’s RPG is launching on Game Pass on its release day. To some, this may appear as Microsoft aggressively promoting their subscription service, offering yet another title to entice new and existing subscribers alike.
