The Outer Worlds 2 will be released worldwide on October 29th, coming to Xbox Series, PC, and PlayStation 5 platforms. It’s the next iteration of the series started by Obsidian in 2019, which dropped and was dubbed ‘New Vegas in space’ by many.
In this ever-digital world, it’s always key to know when you can preload games, and the situation with The Outer Worlds 2 is no different. In this snapshot guide, I’ve got the information you need, including the data regarding The Outer Worlds 2’s file size on all platforms.
Read on to learn everything you need to know.

Preloads for The Outer Worlds 2 are available now on Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and Xbox on PC. I’m working to verify if preloads are available on PlayStation and PC via other platforms.
In a post published by XboxEra, the preload window was confirmed, as were the file sizes for The Outer Worlds 2. Be warned, this is a very hefty game, which might come as a surprise to some.

The preload file size for The Outer Worlds 2 is 79.49 GB on Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X and 77.30 GB on Xbox on PC. It hasn’t been confirmed how much space the game will occupy on PlayStation 5, but it’s safe to assume it’s around the same mark.
We’ll update this guide once we’ve got that information.
The Outer Worlds 2 is a single-player title with open-world elements and plenty of RPG mechanics, but it still comes as a surprise that it’s almost 80 GB on some platforms. That’s a huge installation in any world, especially for a game expected to have a 30 – 40 hour range.
