Those are pretty small numbers for a 2020 release,the market had grown a lot since NV.2.8 Mio crazy! Just proves how desperate people are for new Open World Action RPGs.

Bioware has already been surpassed because Obsidian's new protagonist is just an incel that helps other people to form relationships instead getting one of their own. Truly showing all cishet scum how to be good allies.But... will the DLC have quality romance like the base game? I long to know how that emotional rollercoster between Perverti and whatsherface continues! After all that running around to get her a dress. That turned out to be a suit because Obsidian apparently failed at coding a skirt.
Heh, we've come full circle actually. Obsidian bragged a lot about having robes in KOTOR2, something Bioware failed to archieve in KOTOR1.
Or maybe a completely new progressive romance? We could hold the hand of... the guy on my ship I never talked to, while he awkwardly asks a scary spaceman of african descent for a date.
I am not calling Obsidian the new Bioware until they surpass the old one in the emoshunally engaging romance department.
Private Division's critical and commercial success, The Outer Worlds, outperformed expectations in the first quarter and has now sold in 2.8 million units. On June 5, the title was released for Nintendo Switch.
On September 9, Private Division will release Peril on Gorgon, the first narrative expansion for their award-winning RPG, The Outer Worlds from Obsidian Entertainment.
In this expansion, players will discover a lawless den of monsters and marauders on the Gorgon Asteroid, and uncover a mystery that will change the Halcyon colony forever. Peril on Gorgon is the first of two narrative expansions that can be purchased individually or bundled at a discount in The Outer World's Expansion Pass.

Thanks, guys. At Xbox 2020 a couple of weeks ago, two weeks ago, we saw The Outer Worlds, Grounded Evolved. They look great, these are all Private Division titles. So, our question was around this.
Strauss, when you mentioned I think you said The Outer Worlds in the Switch was 2.8 million units already. How do you see Private Division aggregating up volumes over time? Lainie, I think you said, near term, it's going to hit 10%, that's Private Division and Social Point. So, how should we think about that metering out? Can it be, longer down the road, can it be a bigger percentage? And then the second part to that question was these titles seem to appeal maybe especially to the expanding demographic of gamers that are being pulled in the ecosystem. Can you give us any color or dynamics in terms of how types of players that are engaging with private label versus some of your other studios?

Well, thanks for your question. Just to clarify, Outer World is sold in 2.8 million units and it's across all platforms, and so far as recently made available for Switch. And we're very excited about it. Outer Worlds also has more content coming, and that's a very exciting opportunity.
We think the opportunity for Private Division to be a greater percentage of our overall net bookings is strong. And to state the obvious, it will all depend on the quality of the releases but they continue to sign up and announce great publishing arrangements with first-class independent developers. And so far, their track record is pretty extraordinary, which is amazing. In terms of the demographic to which they appeal, I think that's title by title.
I don't think there's anything in particular in their strategy that would either limit or expand the scope of their potential audience, except that their titles are created by developers who live outside of the big company system. And does that give them an opportunity to be perhaps more innovative and take more risk? Possibly. Although we pride ourselves on being the most innovative company across everything we do. So, it's a really good start.
We're incredibly proud of what the team has achieved so far, Private Division, and very optimistic about the future.
Don't insult Skyrim like that.
TOW is no GOAT, not by a large shot. But it still kicks Skyrims sorry ass anytime.
Some of the Daedric quests are pretty good. They alone put Skyrim head and shoulders above TOW. Not to mention bow combat can actually be enjoyable, unlike anything in TOW.Don't insult Skyrim like that.

The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon DLC Gets New Gameplay
The horrors of Adrena-Time.
The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon has gotten new gameplay, showing new characters, locations and weapons.
In a new gameplay clip, we get a look at an early part of the Peril on Gorogn storyline, taking us to the Sprat Shack (a good spot to talk through the DLC's mysteries with locals), and the Gorgon Overlands.
We also see a new Science weapon, the Pest Extermination Tool, able to use grav-plating to pull enemies towards the pointy end of your weapon. Check out all that and more in the video below:
Set on an asteroid and featuring a noir-inflected storyline, Peril on Gorgon will have you investigating the origins of the Adrena-Time drug. It's the first of two narrative DLC expansions for The Outer Worlds.

Skyrim is some gourmet shit when compared to TOW. It's moddable and isn't WOKE and ZANY on every turn. Also doesn't look like regurgitated No Man's Sky.Don't insult Skyrim like that.
TOW is no GOAT, not by a large shot. But it still kicks Skyrims sorry ass anytime.
"Buy our DLC! Check out this fetch quest! Check out all this tall grass you can hide in, just like Horizon Zero Dawn! Plus audio logs, also featured in Horizon Zero Dawn and Bioshock! Get this, we even have fetch quests where you can get a different line of dialogue at the end by revealing or concealing information!"
Other than "more content" they're not really justifying why anyone would want to buy this. A nearly-11 month wait for this?
