The Outer Worlds 2 on PS5 Requires Massive Digital Download Alongside Physical Disc
Xbox has maintained a steady release schedule, launching Keeper last week and Ninja Gaiden 4 today, with The Outer Worlds 2 next in line. However, a significant issue has emerged concerning the physical PlayStation 5 version of The Outer Worlds 2. While the game is officially slated for an October 29 release, copies have already reached some players. These early discs contain a mere 1.32GB of data. The gaming analysis site Does it Play reports that this physical edition requires an internet connection to download a substantial 71.6GB update, which is essential to reach version 1.002 and make the game playable. Once this initial update is completed, players can disconnect and play offline. This means that players who purchase the physical disc will find that the game itself is largely not present on the disc, relying instead on a significant digital download.
