The Outer Worlds, delayed on Nintendo Switch by the coronavirus; physical version in cartridge

Obsidian Entertainment confirms the technical aspects of adapting its latest great video game, edited by Private Division. June 5 arrives.

The Outer Worlds for Nintendo Switch will feature motion control. The last work of Obsidian Entertainment and Private Division, after its acclaimed passage on PS4, Xbox One and PC, will land on the hybrid console this Friday, June 5 with some technical details that invite us to think that another very promising port awaits us.

According to Eric DeMilt, executive product of Obsidian, in a meeting with Nintendo Everything, the work of Virtuos Games (also responsible for the Bioshock and XCOM 2 collections, as well as LA Noire, Starlink: Battle for Atlas or Dark Souls: Remastered in this same console, among others) it has been translated into an adaptation of the game with 1080p resolution in television mode and 720p in portable mode; always with 30 FPS.

Those who are concerned that the resolution in the portable option (mandatory in Nintendo Switch Lite), this time will remain High Definition. And yes, we will have control by movement thanks to an option that will take advantage of the gyroscope of the Joy-Con and the body of the Nintendo Switch Lite. "We are very happy with how it looks and how it is played," they assert.

June 5 in physical and digital format; Day 1 patch confirmed

It should be said that the physical format version of The Outer Worlds for Nintendo Switch, which arrives in stores in the main markets this Friday, June 5, will be accompanied by a Day 1 patch weighing around 6 GB. The price of both versions, both physical and digital, will be 59.99 euros.
