Obsidian has confirmed today that its 2019 action-RPG The Outer Worlds will be optimised for Xbox Series X, and has also provided more details on its two upcoming narrative expansions.
We don't yet know how The Outer Worlds will benefit from being optimised for the next-gen system (likely 4K, 60fps), but we do know that the improvements will also apply to the two DLC packs.
In regards to those expansions, The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon will arrive this September 9 for $14.99, while Murder on Eridanos is coming next year and will be available at the same price. Alternatively, you can grab The Outer Worlds Expansion Pass (including both) for $24.99, and Xbox Game Pass members can save 10% when doing so.
Here's what you can expect Peril on Gorgon, arriving in September:
• Intrigue and danger: Search an abandoned Spacer’s Choice facility and encounter a cast of new characters as you uncover the mystery behind the sudden cancellation of the Gorgon Project.
• New locations: Explore the treacherous canyons of the Gorgon Asteroid and encounter enemies that have been warped by science.
• More science weapons: Discover three outlandish new science weapons, including the P.E.T. (Pest Extermination Tool), an exciting new melee weapon that draws in enemies for close-range attacks.
• Expanded character customization and lore: An increased level cap, additional perks and flaws, wholly new armor sets, and several variants for existing gear. Plus, dig into the story of the Gorgon Asteroid with new Portable Phonograph audio logs that reveal the salacious secrets of a scientific experiment gone wrong.

I'm looking forward to this but at the same time I'm increasingly not fond of these mid game expansions that "bleed seamlessly" into the game coming long after I delt with the game.
9/10 that means I'll burn through content (like chats with characters) at what feels like a break neck pace because it was mean't to be spread out over half the game.
Nice i'll probably play this when i get the Series X, I'll probably subscribe to gamepass to play it..
Hmmmm maybe I will wait to play this on the Series X. I was thinking about beating it thru gamepass but idk
Outer Worlds is such a colorful game, so I think it will benefit greatly from a 4K60 patch. I can't even imagine what it would look like on an OLED with HDR enabled. 😍
Pretty cool! I will have beaten it long before the Xbox Series X comes out though, so this will probably mainly be something great for the newcomers!
I haven't finished this game - nowhere near finished so I will probably wait until the Series X comes out now and play it when its enhanced...
This is awesome. I still may end up playing it on Xbox One bc I don’t want to wait. But it’s a win either way. 👍🏻
Im a bit screwed with this one being colour-blind.
I am sure the enhancements will look awesome but I may not see much difference unfortunately!
