Black Friday usually see some of the biggest gaming deals of the year, and even recently-released games are seeing some nice price drops. The Outer Worlds, a new spacefaring RPG from the developers of Fallout: New Vegas, is getting in on the action. You can buy the game for cheap at a variety of retailers, but if you have an Xbox or PC, you can play through the entire game for just $1, making it one of the best Black Friday deals we've seen so far.
Yes, if you have an Xbox One or PC, the best Black Friday deal on the game is arguably through Game Pass, where it's free to play. New subscribers can get a three-month Game Pass Ultimate membership--which includes Xbox Live Gold along with Game Pass for both console and PC--for just $1 as part of Microsoft's Black Friday sale, and The Outer Worlds is part of the subscription's collection. That should be more than enough time to play through the entire game. If you're looking to add it to your library permanently, though, some stores have some nice discounts.
The Outer Worlds' Best Black Friday 2019 Deals
Surprisingly, the best deals on The Outer Worlds are actually for the digital versions for consoles and PC (usually physical copies will get markdowns first). For PS4, your best bet is to grab it in PSN's Black Friday sale for $45 and download directly from the PlayStation Store. If you want a physical copy, Target currently has it listed for $35 on their site, though it's "temporarily out of stock." If you can hold out for a little while stock might refresh, though your mileage may vary. Check with your local retailer.
You can get a digital copy for cheap on Xbox One--Amazon has a digital code available for just $40, which beats out the Xbox Store price.
Finally, for PC, you have several good options. The Outer Worlds is $44.39 as part of Fanatical's Black Friday sale, but by using our exclusive promo code GAMESPOT11 at checkout, you can get it for just $39.51, which is technically the lowest price currently available. However, the best overall deal may actually be at Green Man Gaming. If you purchase certain games during the Black Friday sale, like Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Outer Worlds, you'll receive a code for the Intel Starter Pack, which lets you choose five free games from a selection of titles. You can find more info on that bonus at GMG.
