The developers of The Outer Worlds 2 have released a big new update – version 1.0.5.0, which includes more than 360 fixes and small improvements to the game. This update aims to make the overall experience smoother and fix several issues that players have reported since launch.
According to the patch notes, the update focuses on improving game performance, graphics, and stability. Players should now see fewer crashes, faster loading times, and better frame rates, especially on consoles.
Several mission bugs that caused progress to stop or objectives not to appear have been fixed. Many dialogue and quest choices have also been corrected to make sure they now respond properly to player actions.
The update also improves AI behaviour, making enemies and companions act more realistically during combat. Weapon balance has been slightly adjusted too, so some guns and melee weapons now deal fairer damage.
Players will also notice changes to lighting and shadows, which should look better in darker areas and indoor environments. Minor sound and voice glitches were also cleaned up to make conversations and ambient noises more natural.
In addition, the developers have made accessibility improvements, such as better subtitle readability and smoother controller settings.
Here’s a short summary of the biggest changes in update 1.0.5.0:
- Fixed over 360 bugs and minor gameplay issues.
- Improved game performance and stability on all platforms.
- Adjusted enemy AI and combat balance.
- Fixed quest and dialogue errors that blocked story progress.
- Enhanced lighting, shadows, and sound design.
- Added small accessibility upgrades for better usability.
The developers thanked fans for their patience and feedback, saying that more updates and performance improvements are planned for future patches.
