The Outer Worlds 2

2 weeks - Two big topics dominate our Xbox show this week: first, Resident Evil Requiem. Our own Michael Higham got to play a few hours of a near-final build, and he came back super excited about what will probably be the biggest game in the first quarter of 2026. And then we discussed AMD's CEO publicly stating that they'd be ready to support a next-gen Xbox launch in 2027, including whether or not we think the next Xbox will beat the PlayStation 6 to market, whether that even matters, and what Microsoft could do to try and get core gamers excited about what promises to be a very different type of console. 00:00:00 - Intro & Resident Evil Requiem 00:18:29 - Next-gen Xbox launch in 2027? 00:48:32 - No Plans For The Outher Worlds 3 01:03:04 - New to Game Pass & Outro #xbox #gaming #residentevil

Between No Man's Sky, Starfield, and countless others, the space-sim genre has arguably never been in ruder health. But games that focus on space exploration have a fundamental problem: space is boring. It's mostly empty, impossibly, unimaginable stretches of nothing, full of empty, rocky planets of no interest to anyone except NASA geologists and associated nerds. One of Starfield's designers, Bruce Nesmith, recently said as much in a rare podcast appearance, admitting that Starfield's biggest problem is that space is inherently boring. So, how do you fix the space sim genre? How can Starfield 2 be better? Well, hear us out: by looking to games that are adjacent to the genre: space-based action RPGs, like Mass Effect or its Xbox Studios stablemate, The Outer Worlds 2. This is what What Starfield 2 Needs to learn from The Outer Worlds 2. This video was created by Jim Trinca and was originally featured on Eurogamer.

3 months, 3 weeks - The Outer Worlds 2 reviewed by Travis Northup on PC and Xbox Series X|S, also available on PlayStation 5.The Outer Worlds 2 doesn’t try to rewrite Obsidian’s RPG playbook, but it’s yet another strong refinement, with smoother combat, diabolically compelling buildcrafting and loot, and a story that immediately made me want to start again to see an alternate outcome. The sluggish first act and lack of enemy variety make it a bit of a slog at certain times, but once its story of political intrigue kicks in and the new flaws and perks system gets its claws in you, it can be quite hard to put down. All these improvements put The Outer Worlds 2 that much closer to being the Fallout: New Vegas successor we hoped this series would be, and that’s worth getting excited about.

3 months, 3 weeks - In today's Daily Fix:Hot off the heels of their ASUS collab, the ROG Xbox Ally X, Xbox president Sarah Bond has said that the next Xbox will be a 'premium' console/PC hybrid with a 'very high-end, curated experience.' This has lead many to speculate that the next Xbox following the Series X and S will be considerably more expensive, akin to high-end gaming PCs (a mid-range gaming PC already costs upwards of a thousand dollars). In related news, the price of Xbox development kits has gone up, but considerably more compared to retail consoles. Series X and S dev kits are now selling for $2,000, up 25% from $1,500. And finally, Xbox Game Pass Wave 2 for October has been revealed, and The Outer Worlds 2 leads the pack.
