Releasing on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Game Store last year,The Outer Worldswas one of 2019’s biggest RPGs. Acting as something of a spiritual successor to Obsidian Entertainment’s work onFallout: New Vegas,it was a sci-fi experience that put the reins of the story in the hands of the player, letting them create a wholly unique character and make choices that affected the outcome of the story and world.
It was notably absent from one platform, however, with Obsidian’s decision to partner with Epic Games meaningThe Outer Worldsskipped a release on Steam during its first year. With the anniversary of the quirky RPG inching closer by the day, it seems the game is finally making its way to the seminal PC storefront, officially debuting on October 23.

Withthe game’s exclusivity to the Epic Games Store causing controversywhen it was announced last year, there’s likely still some players holding out for its release on Valve’s digital storefront. Unfortunately, there’s very little additional information for these players about the upcoming port, with Steam not giving a firm price point or revealing whether the game’s newest DLC, Peril on Gorgon, will be available for purchase on day one.
It managed to garner an 85 on Metacritic at release, with critics agreeing that Obsidian had managed to build on the winning formula that made the team’s work onFallout: New Vegasso unbelievably special. Recently, the team followed the game up withPeril on Gorgon, a substantial slice of new content that took players to a new location with fresh enemies to face and quests to complete. It was largely received well, with fans merely wanting more ofTheOuter Worlds’characters and tongue-in-cheek writing.
The Outer Worldswill make its way to Steam on October 23.
