Greetings from San Francisco on full lockdown quarantine. Would be amazing to get lost in the sci-fi planets of Outer Worlds right now. I know the game got delayed from its original March 6th release, but does anyone have any news of when it might come out on Switch now?

I was excited to hear that it was going to have a physical release, but ready to buy that digitally if it ever surprises us.

Nothing concrete. Retailers list it as TDB 2020. Development on the Switch port has ceased due to the CV outbreak. It'll probably slip into early 2021, and that's only if warm weather hinders CV contraction and the number of reported cases drop off a cliff this summer. But I have my doubts.

I doubt it'll push that far into 2021. I know the 03/06 date was pushed because of the CV outbreak in their area, and prevented employees of reaching the office.

But since then the team has gotten back to work. Outer Worlds just released a major update on other platforms last week - one being able to size up the font 10x. It's said this option was made for the Nintendo Switch.

P.S. Good news out of China, things are slowly returning to normal. Quarantine has been relaxed, and people can visit each other. 69,000 of 81,000 confirmed cases have been discharged. China did go hardcore with 2 months of strict quarantine, build special hospitals, and disinfect the streets everyday.

As long as it's Physical full cart I can wait.

So, word round the campfire is that the physical release will have a 6GB day-one patch. The saying, "one step forward, two steps back", comes to mind. How disheartening. Skip.

@Magician Is that a big part of the game?

Looking forward to this either way, but these big patches sucks.

5th of June is now the release date.

I don't normally play 18/M-rated games but this one looks interesting so I think I'll give it a go, if the Switch port is decent. I'd rather download a 6GB update than the entire game, so I don't mind that too much.
