Outer Wilds lands on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S!

9/15/2022

 
​Outer Wilds is now available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S! These ports use next-gen powers to allow spacefaring at 4k 60fps. Note that the release may roll out unevenly, so there might be slight delays getting the download onto your console. 
​These ports are technically upgrades. We’ll dive into some common questions about what that means below. 
FAQ’s: 
Wasn’t Outer Wilds already out on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S? 
  • Previously, next-gen consoles emulated the PS4 and Xbox One X versions of Outer Wilds. Playing these was not recommended because players could run into sections that weren’t optimized for the next-gen consoles, and encounter other backwards compatibility issues such as controller input lag. The new ports are custom built for next-gen consoles to solve these issues and take performance further than before.
Is upgrading from the old version to the new version free? 
  • Yes! 
Is the upgrade available through PlayStation Plus and Game Pass? 
  • Yes! The free upgrade should be available through Game Pass, PS+, PS+ Extra, and PS+ Premium.
Does the disc version get the free upgrade? 
  • Yes! 
How do I upgrade if I have the Archaeologist Edition? 
  • Players with the Archaeologist Edition will need to upgrade the base game and Echoes of the Eye separately on their respective store pages. 
Can I keep my previous save? 
  • Yes, if you have a save file linked to your account you’ll get a one-time prompt to switch it over. Make sure you’re online and logged into the account containing your old save. 
Can I keep my trophies?
  • Unfortunately, trophies will need to be earned again. 
How to update the game on PS5: 
If you have the PS4 version of Outer Wilds already downloaded on PS5:

That’s the End of This Update
Whether you’ve been around the solar system or have yet to lift off, we hope you enjoy exploring on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S! Though these consoles are new and shiny, we promise the ship is still held together with good old duct tape and tree sap. 

As always, you can reach us via email to report any issues. 

Thanks for your support and keep exploring!
