Hello Travelers,
New posters are now available!
You might be saying “Hey, these look familiar.” And you’d be right! We worked closely with the folks at Cook & Becker to bring you much bigger versions of the A4 national park-themed posters based on the solar system’s major planets. Once again, these are illustrated by Mobius Digital artist Ian Jacobson.
They’re available individually or as a set.
Each poster measures 21 x 29cm, or 8.2 x 11.4 inches

There are a few games that I wish I could play for the first time again. Kingdom Hearts 2, Subnautica, and Minecraft, to name a few, but if I had a Neuralizer from Men in Black, I'd wipe my memory of Outer Wilds. As a fan of the best space games and someone who loves a good ol' time-looping adventure, I admire the mechanical brilliance of Outer Wilds, but the narrative alone makes it a big enough reason to buy this game, and right now it's down to its cheapest price ever.

When you think of the greatest space games, it's easy to default to scale. The thousands of planets of Starfield, the infinite galaxies of No Man's Sky, the swirling systems of Eve Online, and the sheer expanse of Elite Dangerous. Outer Wilds is different. It's smaller, tighter, meticulously designed down to the smallest grain of sand. Yet despite that, or perhaps because of it, developer Mobius Digital created the most enrapturing and memorable game about interstellar exploration ever made. Now, the team confirms that it's hard at work on something new.

Patch 16 Changes (Steam only, other platforms coming soon):
This minor patch is now out on Steam only, but will be brought to all other platforms except Nintendo Switch in late May. If you’re not on Steam, don’t worry, you’re not missing out! This is a minor patch mainly for adding a couple folks to the credits and fixing two PC-only bugs: clicking out of the game disabling certain inputs (such as the key for the ship’s lock on), which affected streamers in particular, and diagonal movement being faster than normal with mouse and keyboard.
Why stagger the releases like this? It’s to increase the chance that, if any bad bugs on Steam slipped through testing, they’ll get caught and fixed before the release of the other platforms. This is no shade to our QA testers, we’re just trying to be extra risk averse and conservative with the resources we put toward Outer Wilds since our new game is our priority!
This is also why we’re not bringing the patch to the Switch for the time being: it’s a risky platform for us to touch and the most important of these bug fixes don’t even apply to the Switch. We plan to reconsider once we decide if we’re going to bring Outer Wilds to Switch 2.
Once we put out Patch 16 on Epic, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC Windows Store, we’ll make a note of it here and on our socials.

Hello Travelers,
There’s been so much new Outer Wilds merch the past year that we’ve made a little guide to it all! There have also been restocks of some of the more popular items, like the Outer Wilds Soundtrack Vinyl. A lot of our partners are doing sales and promotions for the holidays, so be sure to take a look.
The Mobius Digital team worked incredibly closely with the manufacturer to produce this high quality, 100% accurate, 1/58 scale model kit. When fully constructed, it’s about 7.9 inches tall and 10.6 inches wide – about the size of an average adult human skull! The box art was specially designed by our very own Ian Jacobson. And we all pitched in on the infomercial above. We had a lot of fun putting this together and we hope you enjoy it. You can purchase it – while supplies last – at Fangamer for $99 plus shipping.
Here is everything else new and currently available from each of our official partners.
Lost in Cult
Preorders for Lost in Cult’s upcoming Outer Wilds: Design Works book and deluxe edition, which features a papercraft ship model and other goodies, are available until December 2nd. This Design Works will include exclusive interviews with us and the community, some new behind-the-scenes art and commentary. Pre-order before it’s too late!
We’ve been working super closely with iam8bit to bring you some of our most requested physical items, including worldwide physical releases on PS5 and Switch. Everything is limited quantity, so be sure to grab a copy before it’s sold out!

There are also some retailers doing special, first-come-first-serve free goodies with purchase of either edition. Check out all the details here: outerwilds.happinet-games.com
Fangamer
We’ve collaborated with Fangamer on a lot of merch this year. First of all, there’s the ship model kit–we’re thankful for Fangamer’s help with warehousing, fulfillment, and creating the paint guide. There are also five literally-just-released items: a mug, journal, and three pins! For anything out of stock, you can sign up to be notified when it’s back in stock.
Whew, yep that's all our new merch. Maybe we went a little overboard this year, but it’s fun, and our partners always do a fantastic job. We hope you enjoy any new souvenirs you pick up!

PATCH 14 IS NOW AVAILABLE
9/22/2023
Outer Wilds and Echoes of the Eye Patch 14 is now available! This is a small patch to address some issues on the Steam Deck, and we fixed some bugs while we were at it. It includes accessibility improvements on all platforms: a new Large UI Mode, improvements to the legibility of some button icons, and an FOV slider on consoles!
Introducing: Large UI mode!
We hope this mode will help folks playing on smaller screens or who just wish the text and UI was a bit bigger. By default, the game will automatically detect what size the UI should be based on your platform and display. If you’d like to manually set the size, simply go to Options > Audio & Language > UI Size. You can then choose between Auto, Regular, or Large.
Patch 1.1.14 Changes:
Gameplay
New Gamma calibration screen. Currently, there is an issue with the new Gamma Calibration screen where mouse input doesn’t work. This can be worked around by pressing "E" or "Enter" on your keyboard to confirm your selection.
Damage received only in your mind no longer counts toward the "Die Hard" achievement
The player's dead body can no longer trigger ship log entries
Translator tool bug fixed where it would sometimes break when "auto-equip translator" is turned off
Pursuers no longer pass through certain barriers
Minor adjustments to the Starlit Village
You can no longer parkour yourself out of [REDACTED]
Art & Visuals
Plants no longer appear to "glow" when gamma is set to High
Lights no longer glow through the Ship dashboard
Players probe no longer gets mis-scaled when fired at certain spots

Fixed leaving a specific type of item on a certain craft causing the item to disappear under certain circumstances
Fix for the screen going black during some vertical transitions in the DLC
Fixed a few issues with the ship's align-with-target behavior in landing mode
UI
New Large UI mode! To manually set UI size, go to Options > Audio & Language > UI Size
Improved legibility of button icons for control sticks, shoulder buttons, and triggers
Reorganized the Graphics Menu Options
HUD markers now display the correct distance to objects inside Dark Bramble
Various UI bug fixes
Text & Localization
Fixed missing characters in various languages most notably Chinese, Japanese, and Korean
Improved line breaks and spacing in various languages
Fixed various typos
PC Only Changes
Workaround for NVidia driver bug is now disabled by default. If you have an NVidia card, please make sure that you have updated to driver version 528.02 or later. (Workaround can still be enabled by editing the secret settings file.)
Updated default graphics settings when playing on Steam Deck
Minor code fixes and improvements for the modding community. Happy hunting!
Other
A can of marshmallows somewhere seems to have expired...
That’s the End of This Update
We want to say thank you all again! As we said last time, there are no more major updates planned for Outer Wilds or Echoes of the Eye because we are moving on to new projects. There might be smaller updates, like this one, as we have time, but we cannot guarantee more updates. Regardless, you can reach us via email to report any issues.

One of the greatest space games ever made is having a very brief Steam sale right now, and it is absolutely an essential pick-up if you're waiting eagerly for the Starfield release date. Outer Wilds is a very difficult game to talk about without spoiling even just the core concept, so if you want to go in completely blind and have somehow missed the core conceit, we recommend it while the Outer Wilds sale is still on.

The enigmatic system of Outer Wilds is packed with scary things you wouldn’t want running around in real life: spine-tingling cosmic anglerfish, endless time loops, and a bunch of existential dread. (Oh, wait a minute.) Although, the spacefaring adventure has at least one tool that would be handy in everyday situations: the translator. One Redditor has thankfully recreated a functional version of the translator and this clip shows the delightfully faithful tool.

I'm as excited as the next person for the Starfield release date, but there's a more urgent deadline on the horizon for those of you subscribed to Microsoft's PC Game Pass service. Outer Wilds, one of the best space games of all time (and certainly one of the most important, in my humble opinion), is leaving the subscription service on January 1. If you haven't played it yet, don't worry - that's still more than enough time to experience the wonder for yourself.

Are you ready to dive head-first into a suicide mission that could save the human race? Are you prepared to sacrifice everything so you can kiss an alien whose face you'll probably never see? Do you want to get irrationally frustrated at the controls of a wimpy little moon buggy? Well, you're in luck: Mass Effect Legendary Edition is coming to Xbox Game Pass this week.
The Legendary Edition includes single-player base content and over 40 DLC from the highly acclaimed Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3 games, including promo weapons, armors, and packs – remastered and optimized for 4K.

And that's not all. We're also getting a wealth of new games for Xbox Game Pass in the coming weeks. The Xbox Wire post also announces Spelunky 2 – a challenging roguelike platformer that's known for its sadism and freedom – is coming to console and PC on January 13.

It's frustrating that nobody will let you spoil Outer Wilds. I'm desperately waiting for the moment where we all agree that it's been long enough since the game's 2019 release to gush about it. It's the kind of game where you want to share stories about how you stumbled on each morsel of information and what puzzles flattened your brain. And most of all, I want to talk about that ending. Someone called Outer Wilds the only truly melancholy game, and not only is this correct, its ending heightens this, not because of its pessimism about the end of the world, but because of its optimism...

Discovery and realisation are the two great thrills of Outer Wilds, so let me dust off an old reviewer's cliche and say that if you loved that game you should stop reading and play Echoes of the Eye without further ado. Nothing I can write will be as compelling as unravelling this first and only expansion for yourself.
Indeed, writing takes a backseat in Echoes of the Eye - as, rather unexpectedly, does spaceflight. Where Eurogamer's best of 2019 saw you chasing clues from gravity well to gravity well, hurrying to make sense of a pocket solar system before the sun explodes and resets the game's 22 minute timeloop, Echoes takes place almost entirely on one, mesmerising new world with its own, self-sealed mode of traversal. It's the erstwhile home of an alien race whose language you don't know, and whose torrid past you must accordingly glean from images that are equal parts Kodak Moment and found footage eeriness. Fortunately, your ship computer still does a solid job of paraphrasing key findings and mind-mapping them for consideration, bolstered by a menu tweak that lets you organise leads by planet.
The newfound prominence of images is about more than minimising exposition. It supports environment puzzles that deal, like the original game's quantum experiments, with how observation affects the observed, but Echoes sneakily transports those notions into the realm of the occult. Think solar eclipses and eldritch green flames, portraits you fear to turn your back on and that particular breed of gloom that lurks inside pinewood hunting lodges from the American Midwest. There are folding metal contraptions that recall the spikes and siphons of the Amnesia series, but this isn't an outright horror story, and you can always turn the spookier moments off in the settings (though I haven't had a chance to replay and see what this does in practice). Much of Echoes takes place in bracing sunlight, where you'll wrestle anew with physics and explore without worrying about oxygen reserves, and - well, I've already spoiled far too much, and somehow, you are still reading. OK then. Let's button up our spacesuits and push on.

Accessing the Legacy Branch
Hello travelers!
Firstly, thank you all for making fun and engaging content for fans of the game! We wanted to share with you that we are releasing a legacy branch of Outer Wilds because Patch 8 introduces a massive overhaul to our input system which could make mods from previous versions of the game unplayable. To ensure everyone can continue using their favorite mods, speedrun, or just enjoy this version of the game, we are making this branch publicly available.
Please see below for how to access this legacy version of Outer Wilds:
This will require a Steam version of the game bought on Steam to install.
Log into Steam on its native launcher.
Navigate to your “Library” and look for Outer Wilds which should now be added to your list of games on the left side of your screen.
Right click Outer Wilds in this list and go to “Properties.”
A new window should come up, navigate to the “Betas” tab.
In the text field “Enter beta access code to unlock private betas” enter in “moddersGetYourStuff” and click Check Code.
You should now have access to the “Outer Wilds: Patch 7” branch, have it start downloading and start exploring! It should look like this!

Outer Wilds developer Mobius has officially confirmed Echoes of the Eye, the game's "first and only expansion" which will arrive on 28th September for PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
The story of this new chapter, revealed as part of tonight's Annapurna Interactive showcase, remains largely a mystery.
"It's going to weave directly into the existing world and narrative," creative director Alex Beachum teased. "Now, if you've played the game, you might be wondering how. And also why. And those are very good questions."
