It looks awesome. Meta is quite good too. From the few reviews I've read and watched... I'm impressed. Relatively bug free, much to the disgust of Bethesda. 😂


I can't wait to jump in and get started. I haven't been playing games much all year, hopefully outer worlds kick-starts my gaming again.

Can you pre-download this on game pass?

Hmmm, this is looking great so far.



I look forward to the game, as I love Obsidian. That's why I am salty Microsoft snatched them away from the multiplat-market. But this game will at least will be available outside of MS-platforms. And the Critic-score is holding up well enough, so it seems to have no major issue holding it back.

They were once a more PC orientated developer anyway.



Big win for Microsoft and Obsidian, this could become a very solid franchise.

Sounds good. I'll have to pick this up later on when the price drops.



I have this pre-installed. Very much looking forward to this!

Yep. Been downloaded and ready for me for a few days now, through Gamepass. 
Just go to it on the store, it will give you the option to buy or pre-install with GamePass.

Great scores.



Gonna get this for PC eventually. No point in getting a physical version since the day one update file is bigger than the actual game.

I'm very pleased by what I'm seeing. My favorite critic these days, Chris Carter, gave it a 90 review, and my personal scores for games are almost always within 5 points of his, which means my personal score for this game will likely fall in the 85-95 range. It's also looking like sales will be good, 3 days from release it's up to #10 PS4 and #40 XB1 on Amazon. With both good sales and good reviews, Microsoft would be smart to buy this IP from Take Two so that Obsidian can make a sequel to it for Xbox Scarlett and Windows.

MS already own the IP the problem is the publishing rights that Private Division own, they will come to a deal MS paid over 10 million just to get the publishing right to Psychonauts 2.
