The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition just got a new update, numbered at Patch 1.1 for PS5 and other platforms.
Among other things, this new update addresses a PS5 crashing issue, fixes performance issues and just brings more general bug fixes to the latest version of The Outer Worlds.
This update comes after an apology was issued by developer Obsidian Entertainment after the Spacer’s Choice edition released with its own set of bugs and problems.
Not exactly what players want to find on a new version of an old game, which originally came out on previous-gen hardware.
You can go turn on your PS5 and download the update now, if it hasn’t already happened automatically.
Obsidian has also released a comprehensive patch notes for the update, which you can check out for yourself, here.
