The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition is a singleplayer first-person action, adventure, exploration, FPS, RPG and shooter game in the The Outer Worlds series.
The original game was first released on Epic Games Store and Microsoft Store on October 25, 2019, followed by its release on GOG.com and Steam on October 23, 2020. On February 27, 2023, it was announced that an improved Spacer’s Choice Edition would release on March 7, 2023 on all stores as a paid upgrade for all owners of the base game with all of its DLC. It features higher resolution graphics, a dynamic weather system, overhauled lighting and environments, improved performance and load times, enhanced details on characters, an increased level cap, and much more.[1]
The Spacer’s Choice Edition was released with much critique regarding visual and performance related problems. The publisher released one update so far with more to follow to solve the reported issues.[2][3]

Notes
- ↑ Unreal Engine 4 engine build: 4.27.2
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/1920490/. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (1920490) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
- ↑ Original was built from the ground-up to be playable without color information.[4] Unknown if this is still the case with the newer warmer color tone and artistic changes.
