Story:The Outer Worlds 2 is the sequel to the award-winning first-person sci-fi RPG from Obsidian Entertainment.
The first game was great. absolutely love it. I can't wait to play this one on release. Here's hoping it does make it to GOG. Everywhere else requires an active internet connection to play this game. . . a single player game. Yeah it needs to come here!
Why The Outer Worlds 2 Belongs on GOG
I’m writing from the far‑flung reaches of the Halcyon colony, where my trusty ship still hums the familiar tunes of the original Outer Worlds. After countless hours of bartering with the Board, dodging corporate drones, and sipping synth‑coffee in the “Mothership” tavern, I’m ready for the sequel’s next chapter. Yet there’s a snag in my star‑map: The Outer Worlds 2 isn’t slated for GOG.
GOG’s Reputation Aligns With My Values
GOG has built a reputation for treating both developers and players fairly—DRM‑free releases, generous refund policies, and a community‑first ethos. As someone who values ownership of the games I buy, GOG feels like the natural home for a title that celebrates Spacer's Choice!
The Microsoft‑Obsidian Factor
However, with Microsoft’s acquisition of Obsidian certainly raises eyebrows. While the studio’s creative spirit remains intact, I worry about potential shifts toward platform exclusivity or tighter integration with Xbox services. By placing Outer Worlds 2 on GOG, Microsoft could demonstrate that they still respect the broader PC ecosystem, a win‑win for both the publisher and the community.
A Small Request, A Big Impact
I understand that licensing negotiations can be intricate, especially with a major corporation now involved. Still, I hope you’ll consider reaching out to Obsidian and Microsoft to explore a partnership that respects both the developer’s vision and GOG’s community values. Even a limited “GOG version” release—perhaps with exclusive bonus content or a special collector’s edition—could signal goodwill and set a precedent for future collaborations.
Thank you for listening to a humble fan’s plea. May the stars guide The Outer Worlds 2 onto GOG’s shelves soon!
With hopeful optimism,
A devoted Halcyon Explorer
First one is one of my favourite games. Still not buying the sequel in the condition microsoft is imposing, and, honestly, not for the amount of money they are demanding, and I'm sure not getting into any subscription.
The Outer Worlds is very dear to me, I would love to buy a sequel with reasonable terms and support Obsidian (if that's even possible still).
Same as Everybody waiting for this installment want it need it gotta have it so I own it no platforms to get in the way and I have Fallout 4 on GOG its pre update so that option is a whole lot better
I own the first game and am playing in through Amazon Luna. I hope I acquire the Outer Worlds 2 on GOG for free with Amazon Prime gaming. Needless to say I hope the Outer Worlds 2 is playing from my GOG library through Amazon LUNA just like the first one was.
An interesting take on a sequel, from at least the previews released so far. An in universe thing, but so far removed from the prior entry that it can stand on its own. Obsidian doesn't normally go in for that, as they LOVE their references, but given how it did, this is probably for the best in terms of new player onboarding.
From what's been shown/playable in that one-hour teaser, they're messing the Outer Worlds style gameplay with a bit more of Pillar of Eternity style world building, letting you background flesh you out a bit more, and that's awesome.
I look forward to this one, and hope it comes to all the major storefronts, this site included.
the original is on GOG and is kind of what if they let make fallout new vegas (FNV) like we wanted.
the problem is a game starting with fallout can take many shortcuts in story and world building that are naturally filled in by the setting.
the outer wolds suffered from the need to establish its worlds and stories from scratch while trying to maintain the level of character writing from FNV.
the outer worlds 2 now once removed from FNV and now enjoying the scaffolding of the original game can take obsidian's strengths like story and character building and express them much more easily and make what was a good game in the original to a fantastic one in the sequel.
beyond the ease of having both games on the same platform i find GOG to be the best customer facing game market today with the DRM free and offline play options.
I like having the option of buying Outer Worlds 1 on GOG because drm is removed and the game runs way better without any drm. I like the first game and I bought Fallout 4 on GOG even though I own it on Steam. I prefer to buy my games on GOG so I can download it to my external hard drive and I have it for life. With Steam you buy a license to play the game and if Steam ever wants to remove the game from my Library then I loose my ownership of that game. While GOG you buy it you own it you download it and it's yours. I love GOG and support them. Every Steam user should support GOG. Having Outer Worlds 2 on GOG would be awesome and a must buy.
one of the games I'm most looking forward to this year 2025 with ninja gaiden 4 but hey ninja gaiden 4 no luck for us alore I hope from the bottom of my heart that we will be lucky enough to have it The Outer Worlds 2
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox

The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions.
