While you're waiting for more news on the sequel, the 2019 original game "The Outer Worlds" is still available to play on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows and Nintendo Switch. It's Spacer's Choice," Feargus Urquhart, studio head of game developer Obsidian Entertainment, said in the Xbox Wire statement. And, fans of 'The Outer Worlds' should always remember – it's not the best choice. Expect to maybe see something from it in 2023, with a release due in either 2024 or 2025, most likely the latter."Taking place in a new star system with a new crew, we are excited to bring everyone back to 'The Outer Worlds' franchise. It’s been two years since we heard even a whisper about The Outer Worlds 2, but as the trailer suggests, it still has a long way to go yet. There will no doubt be loads of side quests and gear to collect, but you really shouldn’t expect the same kind of scale that’s being promised for Starfield, another upcoming Xbox exclusive that will see you jetting across the stars. You can expect to be able to visit multiple different planets while tackling evil corporate overlords, dealing with all kinds of space bandits and weird alien creatures along the way. It’s a lot of fun, but it ultimately doesn’t give us much of a clue as to what’s in-store for the sequel. The trailer ends with them claiming that the main character, story, or any gameplay isn’t anywhere near finished and all they have to show is the title: The Outer Worlds 2. The trailer, which you can see above, pokes fun at how misleading trailers are, as well as how pointless slow-motion shots are, random epic shots for the point of being epic, and an absolute abundance of lens flares. So, what are PS5 players missing out on with The Outer Worlds 2? Well, it’s hard to know just yet, as we’ve only had one trailer without any gameplay that’s intended to be satire of how game trailers are these days.

However, this still doesn’t point towards a PS5 version for the second game, as Private Division still held the publishing rights for the original, not Microsoft. While this is no doubt a blow for PlayStation owners, the original The Outer Worlds did get remastered for PS5 with some quality of life changes, so that’s a bit of a consolation. That said, there was only ever an outside chance of The Outer Worlds 2 coming to PS5 before the fallout (pun not intended) anyway, as Microsoft will almost always prioritise Xbox exclusives to make Game Pass look like an even better deal. Any chance of The Outer Worlds 2 ever coming to a PlayStation system has pretty much disappeared, with the two companies’ relationship now being the sourest it’s ever been.

This is due to the aforementioned acquisition by Microsoft, who do not have the best working relationship with Sony, especially in the face of their anti-trust dispute concerning Microsoft’s separate acquisition of Actvision.

Unfortunately, The Outer Worlds 2 currently isn’t slated for PS5, just Xbox Series and PC. However, considering that Obsidian is now owned by Microsoft, is there any chance of The Outer Worlds 2 coming to PS5? Millions of players seemed to agree, with a sequel getting revealed at E3 2021. With so many games going the bloated open world route, or being absolutely packed with microtransactions, a contained adventure across the stars was quite refreshing when it launched in 2019, especially one with the Obsidian touch. A game like The Outer Worlds is always welcome in the current industry.
