The Outer Worlds, the sci-fi RPG developed by Obsidian and involving writers of the original Fallout games, has officially received a release date on the Nintendo Switch. The game was already released on PC, PS4 and Xbox One in October 2019. Switch owners will be able to grab their copy of the game this March 6th. The announcement comes from a tweet by the game's publisher Private Division:

i feel able pirates should just get this game from their usual sources just in spite of no physical cartrage this isn't about piracy it's a blatent attempt to kill the used game market (which imo should be considered an illegal monopoly) similar to Apples attempts to foil right to repair again should be illegal

Godamit because it looks pretty on the shelf and you can't sell it so yr shelf will always look pretty

game boxes with huge banners saying no game cartridge included or internet connection required ocupying 30% of the cover art are not preety at all lol.

I was super hyped until that. No, thank you.

I love this game and I think it's better than fallout 4. It also too damn short and I finished it in 20 hrs.

No GameCard no Buy.

Meh, why would anyone waste their time shopping for a physical download code instead of just getting it on the eshop? What's next? Going to the post office to check your email?

I 100% agree with this statement any and all non physical releases like this should just be pirated. Save your money. Cheap ass company dont deserve it.

A very playable game- some people saying way to short are talking crap - this type of game you do all yr companioms side quests and thers at least 30 hours youl get out of this

If you're ultra slow. I did almost every quest (might have missed one or two) and it barely took me 11-12h to finish the game

No fun in rushing a game and skipping all the cutscenes dialogue

If I had skipped the cutscenes I would have been done in way less than ten hours. Yes, the actual gameplay part is that short. It's a great game and I had a lot of fun with it, but there is seriously no way that anyone can sink 30 hours into that game and actively do something all the time. That kind of playtime can only be reached if you open every last container and loot and sell every single item that there is in the whole game.

Shit I pld for 41 hours I must of been stalking someone or sat in a field alday and admired the grass textures

 

[wartutor]

I logged about 30h on it but i beat it on every lvl difficulty and unlocked every trophie. Took a bit longer. First play through was maybe 7 to 8h.

 

[dude1]

30 hours ain't short think you forget people hav jobs and may only hav couple of hours a day to play games

30 hours is short, don't get me wrong I can forgive it because its a new IP but I will be offended if a sequel isn't close to 80± hours (not that they will care but i tend to sail the high sea's when companies unapologetically offend me.)

also people having jobs is no excuse, many people also can't afford to buy a ton of games a year so those couple of hours a day add up if its one of a handfull you play all year.

I hate when they sell empty boxes. I fell for that once. Will just visit e-shop when it releases obviously. Can't wait!

I'll try the game first on PC (through Green Steam lol) and if I like it, I'll be buying it on the switch, since I have little time to play and the switch is the best console for me because I can play it in my work breaks.

Really good game, but I doubt it will be playable on Switch without it looking like total garbage.

Compared to pc it was terrible. But with some unlocked settings and oc it wasn't a bad experince.

no gamecard included means no buy.

I think it is way more honest than most of the thrid party games on the Switch which inside the card there is only the executable and to properly run the game, "an update" (which is the game itself) is required.
