Epic Games Store is offering a holiday gift in the form of The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition. It is completely free for the next 24 hours. But hurry, this interstellar adventure won’t be available for long; you have until December 26th to claim your copy.
This was all revealed in a tweet showing that The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition is free on Epic Games Store. Epic Games put out the call, so get it from the store if you haven’t because it’s well worth the time.
This isn’t just the base game; the Spacer’s Choice Edition includes both of The Outer Worlds’ acclaimed story expansions: Murder on Eridanos and Peril on Gorgon. In Murder on Eridanos, you’ll become a detective for Spacer’s Choice, tasked with solving a high-profile murder aboard a luxurious space station. You get to interrogate eccentric suspects, uncover corporate secrets, and navigate the station’s opulent (and often deadly) social circles.
On the other hand, Peril on Gorgon sends you on a treasure hunt to the abandoned Gorgon Asteroid. This volcanic rock holds the secrets to a powerful weapon, but it’s also crawling with hostile creatures and ruthless mercenaries. You’ll need to fight through the Gorgon’s treacherous depths, solve environmental puzzles, and uncover the truth about the mysterious Spacer’s Choice project that went sour.
Of course, the main reason to get it is The Outer Worlds itself. The Outer Worlds was developed by the renowned RPG veterans at Obsidian Entertainment. This first-person adventure puts you in the cryo-preserved shoes of a recently thawed spacefarer aboard a lost colony ship. You’ll forge your own path through a vibrant and often hilarious world in a corporate-controlled Halcyon system on the brink of chaos.
You get to assemble a crew of quirky companions to help you explore diverse settlements, from the bustling Spacer’s Choice headquarters to the lawless bandit town of Groundbreaker. Along the way, you’ll make tough decisions that impact the world around you. There’s the witty dialogue the studio is known for and an overarching path to unravel the dark secrets of the Spacer’s Choice megacorporation.
