I can get the upgrade for $9.99 and it says that it works with the Game Pass version that I have installed.
I can find upgrades on the MS Store for games I don't own that are listed as buyable despite not owning the game. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1&2 Next Gen upgrade, for example. The store listing doesn't mean much.
That is... inexcusably poor. Especially for a paid upgrade to a 3 year old game. Basically paying for some higher end textures and oversaturated lighting. Big OOF.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I'm good with the game pass version at 60 FPS, dawg.
seems like an excessively pointless 'remaster'.

What a shame, was looking forward to buying this, but this looks worse than the original PS4 version in every way.

Jesus, this is getting beyond ridiculous, I would have thought that this game at 4k native wouldn't go down below 60 on an 3090, let alone on the 40 series.

For fuck sake, this is beyond a joke. Why are developers releasing games in this absolute state. I was really looking forward to this one too! I've got the standard edition but haven't booted it up yet as I was waiting for the upgrade.

You do not have to own the base game.
1. It is a Xbox 1st Party game so it will always be on Game Pass.
2. Just purchase The Outer Worlds Expansion Pass for $20. This will automatically give you The Spacers Choice Edition.
3. Buy The Outer Worlds Spacers Choice Edition Upgrade for $9.99
4. Download The Outer Worlds Spacers Choice Edition
That is a total of $30 spent and now you have the full game with all the dlcs and the new upgrade for $30.

Spending $30 on DLC for a game that you don't own. Genius.

Totally forgot about the asexual part. Playing devil’s advocate: maybe what they were going for was a situation so ridiculous it was supposed to be funny in a cute way or something? Whatever the case I think I did every quest and side quest in the game and couldn’t remember any of them if I had a gun to my head. The priest guy was pretty funny though and I think they did a decent job characterizing Nyoka’s personality; I think they were the two characters I brought with me most of the time.

Have the game and its DLC on PS4. Was planning on getting the upgrade, but it doesn't sound good.

What crackhead at Microsoft/Obsidian decided to charge $60 for what is essentially a mildly made-over GOTY Edition?
I'll buy this when it's on sale for $30, aka what the original price should've been.

I will glady buy DLC for Xbox Studios Games on Game Pass.
This isn't the flex you think it is.
Permanent ownership for the whole thing can be had for less:
But good luck and I hope enjoy perpetual monthly payments in order to access your DLC.

I don’t know man. It seemed like the game was trying so, so hard to make you like her. Maybe some purple-hair thought it would be clever to subvert our expectations. Make some super-likeable cutesy lesbian female character for the gamers to simp for, then give her a romance subplot that involves her talking about how much she doesn’t want sex and culminates in a totally boring platonic evening out with her love interest.

No always. We Happy Few is an xbox first party game, yet it was taken off Gamepass.You do not have to own the base game.

I do not buy games on STEAM or use sites that sell keys. Also dont care about ownership.
WTF pays a montly sub for Game Pass? Is that what you do?
So your subscription is free huh?
You can twist yourself in knots all you want but the fact is the game plus all the DLC + the upgrade can be had for cheaper than what you're paying for the DLC alone while not owning the game. Your choice of platform/storefront is really not my problem.
And for what it's worth, the screenshots I provided for prices are from official stores and the keys are generated by the publisher, so that means they get a direct cut of the money:

Like I said, good luck.

I never said that what I did what the cheapest way to get that game and I dont care what those sites say I am not using them.
You still have not answered my question though. You pay montly for Game Pass?
So now you suddenly don't care about saving money? That's a shame, it looked like you thought you had it all figured out here:
I can get the upgrade for $9.99 and it says that it works with the Game Pass version that I have installed.
That is a total of $30 spent and now you have the full game with all the dlcs and the new upgrade for $30.
That went from $10 to $30 real fast. Unfortunate.
And no I'm not paying for gamepass at all. I'd rather just pay for and own the games I actually want to play rather than pay exorbitant amounts of money on DLC for games I only have access to via a subscription.
But that's just me.

It definitely needs the DLC, and Private Division said it wasn't supposed to work with the Game Pass version but apparently it is at the moment. People with the expansion pass for the Game Pass version of the game are, for some reason, currently able to upgrade to the Spacer's Choice edition despite not owning the base game. The best I can figure is that it's because the backend can't differentiate between a disk copy and the game pass copy.
That said, the absolutely atrocious performance of the game on all platforms is enough for me to stick to the base version running in backward compatibility mode on XSX. It won't be a shiny and glowy with a bunch of new neon signs but it'll run much better.

Correct. I was replying to someone who said that TOW would always be on Gamepass because it was made by an Xbox first party studios. However, TOW wasn't published by MS but by Private Division, just like We Happy Few was published by GB. So, just because the game was made by an Xbox first party, if it's published by someone else there is no guarantees that it will always be on Gap, just like we saw with We happy Few.

60 bucks? I'll pass.
It was ok. Not 60 bucks ok. Even for the DLC.
Wasting away again deep discount ville.

Grounded was and still is a hit. It had over 15 million players earlier this year.
Outer Worlds got a meta of 85, which is a high grade.
Pentament got a meta of 88, which is a very good reviewed game.
Just because you might not like their type of games, or don't like that they are owned by the console you don't like, doesn't mean they haven't produced good games.

Any word on how the PS5 version fairs yet? Would be kinda hilarious if Microsofts own studio botched the Xbox version but not the PS5 version

It definitely didnt work on my Gamepass version without DLC, so yeah.
I’ve also read that buying the DLC might resolve the issue. But that would be 30 bucks total for something that may or may not actually to work, as the upgrade states it doesnt work with the Gamepass version.
Bullshit really, especially considering the in-game performance.

No VGtech or anything, but based on what's available, looks like it's a poor performing port all round. Lots of drops to low 40's just in the first few minutes after gaining control.
