The Outer Worlds 2 is available on Game Pass, but only for those with the highest subscription level, which is Game Pass Ultimate. PC Game Pass subscribers also get a slightly better deal. Since Xbox owns Obsidian Entertainment, the developer, it’s no surprise that the game is included on the service. However, with the recent ups and downs of Game Pass value, it’s worth asking if it’s really a good deal for you. If you’re not a subscriber yet and thinking about trying it out, here’s what you should know about how to play The Outer Worlds 2 on Game Pass.
How to Play The Outer Worlds 2 on Game Pass
To get into The Outer Worlds 2 via Game Pass, you need the right subscription. The game is only accessible with a Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass membership. Keep in mind that the Ultimate plan is the priciest option, now costing $29.99 a month in the U.S. (or £22.99 in the U.K.). PC Game Pass is a bit more affordable at $16.49 per month (or £13.49), but it has some limitations compared to Ultimate.
Getting the game through Game Pass can be cheaper than buying it outright if you finish it quickly—say within a month. Since The Outer Worlds 2’s playtime isn’t very long, you could subscribe, beat the game, and then cancel the service, saving the full purchase price of $69.99 or £59.99.
Of course, buying the game permanently is the best option if you want to keep it forever without worrying about membership. But only if it fits your budget. A big advantage of using Game Pass is that as an Xbox Game Studios game, The Outer Worlds 2 probably won’t leave the service anytime soon, ensuring long-term access.
