The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition Patch Notes 1.1

[Shyla]

Greetings employees of Halcyon,

We have a new update to the Spacer’s Choice Edition that will help resolve many of the visual and performance issues that have been reported, allowing you to continue your colonial duties. While this does not resolve all that we’ve seen, The Board would like to inform you that the team is still working to address additional reported issues and will continue to do so in future patches.

The 1.1 patch is rolling out now to our players on PlayStation®5 and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, and GoG). However, the Board asks for some patience from our Xbox Series X|S and Microsoft Store players, as we hope to have the 1.1 patch available to those employees by the middle of next week.

Thank you for your patience while our team worked diligently to get this out, and continue reading below to see what resolutions this update brings you.
