The Outer Worlds 2 Highlights the Enduring Appeal of RPGs
The Outer Worlds 2 is now available on Game Pass and Xbox.
For fans of role-playing games, few things compare to the moment a new world reveals itself—when the menu fades away, music rises, and you realize you can explore freely. RPGs offer unique escapism: living another life, shaping your story, and immersing yourself in a dynamic universe.
A Rich, Immersive World to Explore
Obsidian Entertainment revives this magic with The Outer Worlds 2, delivering the excitement of exploration, meaningful choices, and witnessing the world respond to your actions.
The game’s setting, Arcadia, feels designed for roaming. Every outpost, settlement, and alien landscape has its own story. Background conversations, unexpected missions, and even the changing sky add depth, making the world feel authentic and alive.
“There’s a sense of texture to everything, like the game wants you to slow down and take it in rather than rush to the next objective.”
Character Customization and Player Choice
A key draw of RPGs is deciding who you become. In The Outer Worlds 2, you create your commander entirely—from appearance to skills to personality. Some players might shape a smooth diplomat who solves problems with talk, while others opt for a stealthy tactician or a bold brawler.
