I've been playing it since yesterday and it is an AMAZING game. So much details, such an interesting galaxy and so many mysteries to uncover. So polished and the music, man. It's my surprise of the year so far, didn't expect much from it and it blew me away.
I know I wrote a whole ass review about this already, but for real: Please don't sleep on Outer Wilds. I love this game with my whole heart, and it's doing some genuinely new stuff (while also building off of a ton of disparate and cool influences). I'm so happy this is on Game Pass, if only because I want more people to get nudged towards playing it.
I remember playing the alpha/beta of this way back in the day and being so amazed at all the detail and crazy ideas that they packed. I managed to play for hours despite the game not having any form of story or ending at that point. So hyped to finally get down to playing the completed version in a few days (finals...)
Yeah, I been here. Not sure why I'm not verified (I don't post much is actually why). Mods?
If folks have questions as they explore, ping me here or on Twitter. That said, one of the coolest things about the game is solving its mysteries for yourself, so def exhaust your options before looking outside the game for guidance!
I had no clue about this game at all until today. Read your review and am properly excited.
Your review is an incredible piece of writing--I couldn't help but hear the opening notes of the COUNTER/Weight theme in my head as I read the opening paragraph.
Super excited to play the game once it's finished downloading!
I was surprised when it queued up on my download list today. Can't wait for it to finish downloading.
Hadn't heard of this until the RPS video popped up in my YT feed but it's had an instant purchase from me after watching that.
Doesn't official launch on Game Pass till tomorrow I believe.
Those with Mixer giveaway pre-orders or whatever are in now though.
Void Bastards was up something like 6-8 hours early for me yesterday on Game Pass. I was expecting that to happen here as well.
Shouldn't expect anything at all from Annapurna and Mobius at this point, but any backers received their keys yet?
Did a few seconds reading up on what this game is and it immediately got my attention. Read a few reviews and pre-purchased on Epic :) Should be a good time.
Oh crap is it on game pass? hmph.
Double crap; I actually got a free copy from watching the Mixer thing, apparently. Totally forgot. If I enjoy the game I'll just keep the Epic Store copy as well to support the devs, 60 fps etc

I doubt it. The store doesn't indicate it's X enhanced in any way.
Installing from the web store link didn't seem to actually do anything on my X, and I couldn't see the game in the game pass list on my X either. If you go to the store tab though and search for Outer wild (there is also a movie called Outer Wild!) you can install it from there. I am on the game pass ultimate alpha so dunno if thats the reason why.
4.4 gig install on X

Nice, the free Mixer copy still has the "pre-ordered" line on it but is already running.
Can't wait to try it out, reviews sound great but also extremely overwhelming, hope it clicks for me and isn't too complicated.

I really encourage people to give this great game a go, be it now or eventually down the road, at the very least through the free alpha that you can still find online.
It's not about exploring space, it's about the marsmellows you roasted along the way.
I was blessed to work a bit on translation for this, and it's such a special game, you can immediately tell. All the best to the amazing devs, I hope we see more of them in the future too.

Not worldwide yet I suppose. Still tells me to purchase the game although I have it on my account from the giveaway.
It is remarkable how bad the trailer is at conveying this game. How did people get a free mixer copy?
watching one of MS conferences on mixer
i played for a few minutes before leaving home and it looks exactly like my jam. tons of charm
I had an icon for outer wilds "preorder" since watching it (a 100mb app i couldnt open) and then today i tried to and it let me update to the full game
Sorry, dunno about people who didnt have it. It wasnt a recent conference though i think it was E32017?
