We're almost at the point where we're going to get our hands on The Outer Worlds, Obsidian Entertainment's final leap into the RPG genre leaning heavily on their Fallout: New Vegas creation experience. The results are overwhelmingly positive, with many critics praising science fiction. This is a single player game, and some players have become accustomed to being able to modify some of their RPG games through Steam. However, The Outer Worlds is only available on the Epic Games Store and Microsoft Store for PC. Can players use mods?
Do the Outer Worlds have Mod support?
When the game is first launched, the developers will not have any mod support that allows players to switch games. Usually when a player wants to add a mod to their experience, they will change the environment, a game mechanism or something in the files of his favorite title. Some communities have completely changed the data in a game to improve their experience.
Most of the developers for a role-playing game support these changes because they allow players to continue enjoying their game, but it doesn't affect anyone. It's a single player game, so it doesn't matter how much the game is tweaked. The developers behind Obsidian Entertainment want to support these creative communities. They want their players to have a good time in their game.
While mods won't happen when the game first releases, the dev team assures their community that they want to make it happen. Leonard Boyarsky, Co-Game Director, said: “We would love for the players to be able to play. We're going to look at that after delivery, in terms of the kind of support we can get. "
Boyarsky answered that question in a quick-fire interview with GameInformer in February, which you can check out here in a video. For those players who are eagerly awaiting mod support, we'll have to bite the bullet and wait for the movie to be released to the public.
The Outer Worlds will be released for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC via the Epic Games Store and Microsoft Store on October 25.
