Two months after Xbox said upcoming RPG The Outer Worlds 2 would cost $80, it is reversing course. The shift to $80 video games is not going as smoothly as publishers hoped
Dear Galactic Citizens!
We have received your SOS via skip drone about the pricing. As an organization devoted to making sure that corporations do not go unfettered, we at the Earth Directorate have worked with [REDACTED] to revise the price of The Outer Worlds 2.

While looking for the United Healthcare shooter, NYPD officers have been on their phones day and night, diligently searching the Candy Crush map for him. Rest assured, if he's hiding anywhere from the Diamond District to the Wacky Waterhole, from Soda Surf to the Popsicle Plateau, they'll find him!
