This long-touted The Outer Worlds Switch port is surely an anticipated entry for the hybrid system, especially considering the Obsidian’s previously-stated enthusiasm regarding the on-the-go console. While it’s somewhat disappointing that the physical release won’t include an actual Nintendo Switch cartridge, it’s still amazing to see the game’s quality world and hero-villain choice system becoming playable on the platform. As more details about the port are teased for the month before release, fans won’t have long before seeing exactly how The Outer Worlds will feature on the Nintendo system.
We’ll work on gathering more details on the specs for you and others before the release date hits so you can be prepared.
