Following on from its launch onto PS5 – the Outer Worlds community has voiced their concerns with the state of performance on the next gen console.
The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition is Obsidian’s latest release, and rings many of the same bells as Fallout and BioShock. The RPG was originally released in 2019 and received critical acclaim, though despite this, it seems that next-gen adopters are now demanding refunds of the game.
The game has suffered a multitude of bugs, of which an Obsidian representative has apologised for in this Reddit thread:
“I am sorry that you all have been experiencing performance issues with The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition. I understand how frustrating this can be, and I assure you the team at Private Division is working on getting a patch out as soon as possible. When we have more information about that patch we’ll be sure to let folks know.”

It seems as though the community actually received this apology with mixed feelings, with some commenters on Reddit suggesting that “support to the community is critical to success,” while others ask “how the game got released in this state?”
The bugs with the game include major issues such as low frame-rates and disappearing aiming reticules.
We’re going to be keeping an eye out for the latest updates on Outer Worlds, though the recent announcement that a performance patch is on the way should be good news to all those interested.
