The Peril On Gorgon DLC can be accessed after completing "Radio Free Monarch".
To play the new The Outer Worlds DLC, you'll need to purchase it first, obviously. I'm talking about this because the game is available on Xbox Game Pass, and some have speculated that the DLC will be brought into the game as part of the deal. You won't - you'll get a 10% discount, but anyone who wants to play Peril On Gorgon DLC will need to purchase it first.
Once you have it, you will see a Peril On Gorgon banner in the lower right corner of the main menu after you start the game. If there is a green check mark, you are good to go. . . most. Unlike other story DLCs, like Blood and Wine for The Witcher 3, The Outer Worlds does not allow you to start a new save at the start of the DLC. If you want to tackle the mystery on Gorgon, you must first complete the main quest "Radio Free Monarch".
And I mean Like, wrap it with a cute little bow and move on to the next quest. Once you have cleared "Radio Free Monarch" go to your ship and travel No matter what you choose, you will receive a radio call at your destination regarding a package. This exchange will launch Peril On Gorgon proper and you can follow the new quest chain. It will be highlighted in green in your journal, lest you find it.
