The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition launched around this time last month, and ever since that version of the game released, it’s had a rocky start to overcome. The game which was marketed as the best way to play The Outer Worlds was not, in fact, the best way to play the game according to many a negative review left on the Steam version and elsewhere on other platforms. Developer Obsidian Entertainment has since been working to rectify some of those issues with one patch released previously, and now, another has been put out for the game alongside a commitment of more work to be done.
