As recent leaks suggested, at the recent Indie World showcase, it was announced that Outer WIlds: Archaeologist Edition will be launching for the Nintendo Switch next month, on December 7. In addition to the acclaimed base game, the release will also include the (also acclaimed) Echoes of the Eye expansion, which launched in 2021. Pre-orders for the title are open on the Switch eShop, while a physical release has also been confirmed.

Outer Wilds is currently available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Stay tuned for more details on its Switch port in the coming days.

Though delayed to an unknown date, there could be an announcement coming soon. @Pyoro_X, known for their accurate leaks of Nintendo Switch games, teased on Twitter, “Finally, we will be able to roast some marshmallows on the Switch.” If that sounds too vague, he also noted the February 2021 Nintendo Direct, where Outer Wilds was announced for the platform.

As such, it’s also referring to one of the core inspirations for the game – roasting marshmallows. Throughout the Outer Wilds, players will meet characters at campfires and can even roast and eat marshmallows. While this tease could indicate a release date, it’s unknown exactly when the title will launch. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.

Finally we will be able to roast some marshmallows on the switch.

Outer Wilds is currently available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The story sees the player as an explorer, lifting off from his home planet to explore the solar system. When the sun goes supernova, the player ends up back on their planet, essentially trapped in a time loop. What’s causing the loop and how to break free from it forms the core mystery, though there are plenty of other amazing discoveries to be made.

It’s worth noting that those who the PS4 and Xbox One versions can upgrade to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S for free. As for the Nintendo Switch version, Mobius Digital confirmed on Twitter that it was still in development. “It’s a heavy undertaking, and well, you know how time dilation gets around dense gravitational fields. Rest assured it’s still being worked on, and we’ll let you know when we have something exciting to share.”

We’ve been overdue for an update about Switch! It’s a heavy undertaking, and well, you know how time dilation gets around dense gravitational fields. Rest assured it’s still being worked on, and we’ll let you know when we have something exciting to share.

The expansion, Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye, has launched now for PS4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. This new chunk of content will once again involve cosmic mysteries and questions, with a central story involving a strange and inexplicable satellite photo, as well as a mysterious new museum exhibit, of all things- and if it’s anywhere close to being as good as the base game, then we’re all in for a treat. Check out its launch trailer below.

Outer Wilds is, of course, also available on the Nintendo Switch now, but there’s no word yet on when (or if) this expansion will come to Nintendo’s hybrid.

The story seems to concern a new exhibit that’s popped up in the museum and prompts one last journey. The player will seemingly uncover the solar system’s “deepest secret” but it seems there will be consequences for the same. The sun being blocked and a mysterious location with hidden depths and technology are teased in the new trailer.

Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye will be releasing on September 28^th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The base game is also coming to Nintendo Switch this Summer, though a release date hasn’t been provided. Stay tuned for updates in the coming days.

Earlier today, we reported that a listing for Echoes of the Eye, which appears to be DLC for 2019’s Outer Wilds appeared on SteamDB. While it may not make sense considering that Outer Wilds wraps up nicely and has an exceptionally satisfying ending, it would be exciting to spend more time in that universe.

The SteamDB listing was originally spotted by industry professional Simon Carless. Publisher Annapurna Interactive drew attention to the message by retweeting it with an eye emoji. Developer Mobius Digital followed by retweeting Mobius’s tweet with two eye emojis. Kelsey Beachum, a writer and narrative designer who worked on the game also got in on the action, tweeting four eye emojis, a reference the the nameless alien protagonist, who has four eyes.

While this isn’t official confirmation, it’s probably close enough, and it will be good to get more Outer Wilds. Outer Wilds received overwhelming acclaim when it released, winning Game of the Year at a number of media outlets.

Outer Wilds is out now on Xbox One, PS4, and PC, and is coming to Switch later this year.

Mobius Digital’s Outer Wilds released in 2019 and received near universal praise for its exploration and story-telling. While it ended in a fairly satisfying way, it seems additional content could be on the way. On SteamDB, something called “Echoes of the Eye” recently cropped up, which may be DLC.

The “Eye” refers to the Eye of the Universe, one of the biggest drivers of the plot in Outer Wilds so it’s interesting to see how this possible DLC could expand on it. The record was last updated on April 29th without any other information made available. Mobius Digital hasn’t said anything about this so we’ll need to wait for some official confirmation.

Outer Wilds is currently available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC, with a Nintendo Switch release coming in Q3 2021. If Echoes of the Eye ends up being DLC, perhaps it will release in time for the Switch version. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.

Mobius Digital’s spectacular Outer Wilds was one of 2019’s biggest surprise hits, and the indie hit is finally coming to the Switch soon- a platform where indie games thrive almost without fail. It’s a match that’s been waiting to happen.

Announced recently during Nintendo’s Direct presentation, it was confirmed that Outer Wilds will release for the Switch some time this Summer, with more details to follow at a later date. Outer Wilds sees players exploring a solar system that’s stuck in a 22 minute time loop, with time resetting every time the sun goes supernova. Players must uncover the mysteries of the solar system and an extinct alien race known as the Nomai.

Outer Wilds was an excellent game, as you may have heard, so it’s great to see it finally making its way over to the Switch as well. Currently, it’s available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Stay tuned for more details on the Switch port.

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE ::)

Mobius Digital’s critically acclaimed Outer Wilds finally arrives on Steam after initially launching for the Epic Games Store on PC in May 2019. The game had a long development cycle before releasing last year and is also available for Xbox One and PS4. You can also try it on Xbox Game Pass for console.

Outer Wilds is about an astronaut/explorer who ventures into the great beyond. After the system’s sun goes supernova, the astronaut is back at the beginning, as if nothing had happened. The entire premise of the game is centered around this 22 minute loop where the sun keeps going supernova while the player tries to uncover the cause.

Of course, there’s a lot more going on in Outer Wilds but it’s worth avoiding spoilers for. Along with the Steam release, Mobius Digital has made patch 1.0.7 available for all players. It provides revisions to the writing and internal logic concerning a later mystery later along with controller rebinding. Check out the full notes here.

Patch 1.0.7 Changes:

• Revisions to writing, visual clues, and internal logic regarding a certain late-game mystery
• Improved navigation for two paths on Brittle Hollow’s southern hemisphere
• Little Scout now automatically switches to launch mode when auto-equipped
• Increased distance at which Quantum Moon feels seen
• It is now possible to navigate in zero-g without a spacesuit
• Increased the plausibility of a certain number on Giant’s Deep
• Input rebinding is now available on all platforms
• Input lag reduced on all platforms
• Fixed several bugs related to Patch 4 Easter egg content changes

After releasing first on the Epic Games Store for PC, Mobius Digital’s critically acclaimed Outer Wilds is finally coming to Steam. It will arrive on June 18th for the platform. Check out the trailer below which highlights some of the awards that the title has won.

Outer Wilds sees the player as an astronaut of sorts, exploring the solar system for all kinds of mysteries. The key twist is that the system’s star goes supernova and then everything restarts from the beginning. Players must solve the mystery of this loop and attempt to escape. In the midst of all this, they’ll meet quirky characters, explore different planets that change as time progresses and much more.

Given the amount of praise the game has received, it’s good to see more players being able to get their hands on it. Outer Wilds is also currently available for Xbox One and PS4. It’s also available for Xbox Game Pass on consoles.
