Obsidian Entertainment's particular flavor of sci-fi corporate dystopia returns in The Outer Worlds 2, and we got an in-depth look at its latest first-person shooter RPG during a special feature segment at the end of the Xbox Games Showcase 2025.

Today’s Xbox Summer Game Fest showcase was a solid hour of big and small announcements, including a new Call of Duty trailer and the reveal of Xbox’s handheld PC device. But it also brought us our first $80 Xbox game.

As spotted on the game's Steam page, The Outer Worlds 2 is a full-whack $80 / £70 release. This follows on from Microsoft stating that it would be applying the premium price tag to its titles later this year.
