  Earlier this month Obsidian launched The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition, a new next-gen version of their sci-fi RPG featuring updated graphics, all the game’s previously-released DLC, and other handy-dandy features. Sounds great, except, this new version of the game launched in a questionable state, with many players complaining of poor performance, glitches, and other issues. Thankfully, Obsidian responded to the backlash, saying they understand players’ frustration and promising to get a patch out soon.

  Well, that update has arrived, with Obsidian promising it will address performance issues, and fix various visual bugs and glitches. You can get the full rundown of everything included in The Outer Worlds: Spacer Choice Edition ver. 1.1, below.
