The Outer Worlds is a stand out RPG title with plenty for players to do and to escape. With so much going on in Obsidian Entertainment’s video game, almost everyone is going to want to get in on the science fiction action. Luckily, The Outer Worlds functions on several different platforms. For those who are looking to play it on their PC, here’s where you can go to purchase the game at a particular price.

Where To Buy The Outer Worlds and The Price

For those who are looking into the game, you’re luckily finding it a little more complicated than usual. The main reason behind this problem is because The Outer Worlds won’t be available on Steam until 2020. If you’re looking for the game to jump over to Steam, you’ll need to wait until next year to give it a try. On the Steam page, you can see it merely states 2020 with no month at all attached to the side of it.

Why did this happen? It’s because Obsidian Entertainment made an exclusive deal to only sell The Outer Worlds through the Epic Games Store for a limited time. Now, if that’s all you needed to know, you’re good to go. You can find the title on the Epic Games Store, and when you buy it and have it downloaded, you can jump into the game right now. However, there’s another option for anyone who’s looking for something else.

You can also pick it up on the Xbox (beta) application Microsoft has and get it through them. You can check out Microsoft’s online page to download the Xbox (beta) application and get it on your computer. From there, you can buy the game for the straight price, and you’re ready to go. Another alternative to that is choosing to take part in the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate free trial for $1 for the first month if you haven’t already applied for it. Otherwise, you’ll have to get the subscription for $14.99 a month.

So those are your two significant PC options for The Outer Worlds, The Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store. Both should work and provide the same experience. Beyond the Xbox Game Pass offer, the standard game price is $59.99. The only other better deal you’re going to get is through the Xbox Game Pass, so if you’re looking for the best deal, it’s that. Otherwise, it’s a standard video game.

Make sure you learn as much as you can about The Outer Worlds. Here’s what we know about the Supernova difficulty, how to holster a weapon, if there’s multiplayer, and if the game has romance options.

Enjoy your time out there, colonists.
