### The Outer Worlds: Important Update Announcement and Grenade Introduction<\/p>\n

**Introduction**<\/p>\n

In a thrilling development, Obsidian Entertainment is readying a substantial update for *The Outer Worlds*, an action RPG that debuted seven years ago. This forthcoming upgrade promises new content, including the much-anticipated inclusion of grenades, enhancing the experience for both newcomers and seasoned players.<\/p>\n

**Recent Updates: The Spacer\u2019s Choice Edition**<\/p>\n

As outlined in a recent [news post on Steam](https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/news\/app\/1920490\/view\/694259874864824927?l=english), Obsidian has commenced minor updates to *The Outer Worlds* via the freshly launched *Spacer\u2019s Choice* edition. These preliminary upgrades include vital corrections such as:<\/p>\n

– Fixes for typographic mistakes
\n– Resolution of bugs that had previously trapped players in tight spots
\n– Enhancements aimed at improving frame rates<\/p>\n

**Upcoming Major Patch: Release Date and Features**<\/p>\n

On May 27th, Obsidian will release a significantly larger patch designed to provide performance fixes, lighting enhancements, and various quest and gameplay modifications. Importantly, this update will also bring grenades into the game, a feature players have already experienced in *The Outer Worlds 2* but was missing from the original release.<\/p>\n

**Changes to Game Availability**<\/p>\n

Alongside this significant update, Obsidian has confirmed that the current base version of *The Outer Worlds* will be taken down from digital stores on the same date. The *Spacer\u2019s Choice* edition will become the sole option available, yet players who already own the base game will get the *Spacer\u2019s Choice* edition for free across all platforms. Additionally, the price of the *Spacer\u2019s Choice* edition will be lowered from $60 to $40.<\/p>\n

**Platform-Specific Considerations**<\/p>\n

While these updates affect PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X\/S, players on PS4 and Xbox One will need to meet different criteria to access the upgrade. To obtain the *Spacer\u2019s Choice* edition, owners of the base game must also have both DLCs for *The Outer Worlds*. Thankfully, the previous paid upgrade option will be removed, and both DLCs will be permanently discounted, streamlining the upgrade process.<\/p>\n

**The Legacy of The Outer Worlds**<\/p>\n

*The Outer Worlds* has been celebrated for its captivating story, varied character ensemble\u2014including the cherished Parvati\u2014and its satirical view on corporate influence. Although its sequel, *The Outer Worlds 2*, was well-received critically last October, it garnered a less positive reception from players, sparking speculation about the franchise’s future.<\/p>\n

**Conclusion**<\/p>\n

With the imminent addition of grenades and extensive updates, players can anticipate a refreshed experience in *The Outer Worlds*. This embrace of new content showcases Obsidian’s dedication to maintaining the game\u2019s relevance and enjoyment for its community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
