The Outer Worlds Gets FPS Boost on PS5 and Xbox Series X

Obsidian Entertainment released today a performance patch for The Outer Worlds. The game now runs at 60 frames per second on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.

Obsidian has not released the patch notes for the 26 GB update for The Outer Worlds, the PS5 version of the game is reportedly running at 60 FPS with Xbox Series X users also reporting a similar increase in performance.

The frame rate boost is also arriving with Murder on Eridanos, the second DLC expansion set to release tomorrow on March 17 for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC introducing a new story where Halcyon Helen is murdered.

Venture to the skies of Eridanos and unravel the grandest murder mystery in the Halcyon colony! Everyone is a suspect in this peculiar whodunit after Rizzo’s hired spokesperson, the famous Halcyon Helen, winds up dead ahead of the release of the brand-new Spectrum Brown Vodka. Alongside your companions, travel across the floating islands of Eridanos and piece together clues using the Discrepancy Amplifier, a new gadget that highlights otherwise unseen hints. There’s more to this mystery than meets the eye, and it’s up to you (and your crew, if you choose) to solve the case.

Key Features:

• Murder mystery: Suspicions abound, and it’s up to you to get to the bottom of the murder of Halcyon Helen, the most well-known celebrity in the colony. Use the new Discrepancy Amplifier, your key to solving the case, as it highlights temporal inconsistencies not otherwise seen with the naked eye.
• A unique world: Travel among the floating islands of Eridanos, from the luxurious confines of the Grand Colonial Hotel to Rizzo’s colorful groves. But be careful about the smiling employees you encounter, as there’s something dark lingering under the bright and cheerful surface.
• New weapons and character customization: Three new science weapons can be added to the player’s arsenal alongside weapon and armor variants to use while solving the case. And increase your level cap by three and employ new perks and flaws to create your most unique character yet.

The Outer Worlds: Murder on Eridanos can be purchased individually or bundled at a discount in The Outer Worlds Expansion Pass. A copy of The Outer Worlds on the same platform is required to play the expansion.
