Earlier this month, The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition finally launched after a period of much speculation. However, this new current-gen edition of the beloved RPG didn’t exactly have the best launch: the game had quite a few problems, including crashes and inconsistent performance. A new patch offers relief.
Update 1.1 is now live for the PS5 and PC and brings some necessary changes. Hopefully this update will make the technical issues a thing of the past now. Xbox players will have to wait a little while longer, though, as the update for that platform won’t appear until sometime in the middle of this week.
