Another week means even more games for Xbox players to grab.

This week, the clear headline is Obsidian Entertainment's The Outer Worlds 2. Now, this game technically already launched if you were willing to buy the more expensive premium edition. For the average player (and for Xbox Game Pass subscribers) it's arriving on October 29.

If you haven't yet, be sure to check out my review of The Outer Worlds 2, where I praised the role-playing elements and improved gunplay.
