Obsidian‘s The Outer Worlds has debuted at no.4 on the UK All Format Chart, shifting a massive 78% of copies on the PlayStation 4. The game came out on Xbox One too, but it’s also part of Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass, which is likely why the PS4 version took the lion’s share of the launch sales.
It’s worth remembering that Microsoft snapped up Obsidian, therefore securing The Outer Worlds a day-and-date release on Xbox Game Pass with its physical counterpart.

Here’s the full lowdown on the game:
Lost in transit while on a colonist ship bound for the furthest edge of the galaxy, you awake decades later than you expected only to find yourself in the midst of a deep conspiracy threatening to destroy the Halcyon colony.
As you explore the furthest reaches of space and encounter a host of factions all vying for power, who you decide to become will determine the fate of everyone in Halcyon. In the corporate equation for the colony, you are the unplanned variable.
Obsidian recently revealed that it was hiring for its next major RPG, although considering Microsoft now owns the company, there’s probably no chance of seeing it for a Sony console. A shame too, as Obsidian is responsible for some the best that genre has to offer.
