New Merch Roundup

Hello Travelers,

There’s been so much new Outer Wilds merch the past year that we’ve made a little guide to it all! There have also been restocks of some of the more popular items, like the Outer Wilds Soundtrack Vinyl. A lot of our partners are doing sales and promotions for the holidays, so be sure to take a look.

You can read this same update on our website by clicking here.

In particular, we want to highlight a project over 2 years in the making: The Hearthian Lander Model Kit!

The Mobius Digital team worked incredibly closely with the manufacturer to produce this high quality, 100% accurate, 1/58 scale model kit. When fully constructed, it’s about 7.9 inches tall and 10.6 inches wide – about the size of an average adult human skull! The box art was specially designed by our very own Ian Jacobson. And we all pitched in on the infomercial above. We had a lot of fun putting this together and we hope you enjoy it. You can purchase it – while supplies last – at Fangamer for $99 plus shipping.

Here is everything else new and currently available from each of our official partners.

Lost in Cult




Preorders for Lost in Cult’s upcoming Outer Wilds: Design Works book and deluxe edition, which features a papercraft ship model and other goodies, are available until December 2nd. This Design Works will include exclusive interviews with us and the community, some new behind-the-scenes art and commentary. Pre-order before it’s too late!

Outer Wilds Patch 14 is Now Available

[h2]PATCH 14 IS NOW AVAILABLE[/h2]
[h3]9/22/2023[/h3]

Outer Wilds and Echoes of the Eye Patch 14 is now available! This is a small patch to address some issues on the Steam Deck, and we fixed some bugs while we were at it. It includes accessibility improvements on all platforms: a new Large UI Mode, improvements to the legibility of some button icons, and an FOV slider on consoles!

[h3]Introducing: Large UI mode![/h3]
We hope this mode will help folks playing on smaller screens or who just wish the text and UI was a bit bigger. By default, the game will automatically detect what size the UI should be based on your platform and display. If you’d like to manually set the size, simply go to Options > Audio & Language > UI Size. You can then choose between Auto, Regular, or Large.

Patch 1.1.14 Changes:

[h3]Gameplay[/h3]
  • New Gamma calibration screen. Currently, there is an issue with the new Gamma Calibration screen where mouse input doesn’t work. This can be worked around by pressing "E" or "Enter" on your keyboard to confirm your selection.
  • Damage received only in your mind no longer counts toward the "Die Hard" achievement
  • The player's dead body can no longer trigger ship log entries
  • Translator tool bug fixed where it would sometimes break when "auto-equip translator" is turned off
  • Pursuers no longer pass through certain barriers
  • Minor adjustments to the Starlit Village
  • You can no longer parkour yourself out of [REDACTED]

[h3]Art & Visuals[/h3]
  • Plants no longer appear to "glow" when gamma is set to High
  • Lights no longer glow through the Ship dashboard
  • Players probe no longer gets mis-scaled when fired at certain spots
  • A certain cosmic event is now correctly visible through a specific screen
  • Fix for certain weather phenomena not correctly forming on Giant's Deep under specific circumstances
  • Materials on certain masks now match
  • Various fixes for assets floating or intersecting in odd ways
  • Various fixes for incorrect, misaligned or missing textures and materials
  • Various fixes for issues where the player could get stuck
  • Various fixes for missing or odd collisions
  • Various minor visual fixes

[h3]Tech[/h3]
  • Fixed invisible gravity crystals
  • Fix for certain areas thinking the player is outside of its LOD zone when the player enters the area under specific circumstances
  • Fixed leaving a specific type of item on a certain craft causing the item to disappear under certain circumstances
  • Fix for the screen going black during some vertical transitions in the DLC
  • Fixed a few issues with the ship's align-with-target behavior in landing mode

[h3]UI[/h3]
  • New Large UI mode! To manually set UI size, go to Options > Audio & Language > UI Size
  • Improved legibility of button icons for control sticks, shoulder buttons, and triggers
  • Reorganized the Graphics Menu Options
  • HUD markers now display the correct distance to objects inside Dark Bramble
  • Various UI bug fixes

[h3]Text & Localization[/h3]
  • Fixed missing characters in various languages most notably Chinese, Japanese, and Korean
  • Improved line breaks and spacing in various languages
  • Fixed various typos

[h3]PC Only Changes[/h3]
  • Workaround for NVidia driver bug is now disabled by default. If you have an NVidia card, please make sure that you have updated to driver version 528.02 or later. (Workaround can still be enabled by editing the secret settings file.)
  • Updated default graphics settings when playing on Steam Deck
  • Minor code fixes and improvements for the modding community. Happy hunting!

[h3]Other[/h3]
  • A can of marshmallows somewhere seems to have expired...

[h3]That’s the End of This Update[/h3]
We want to say thank you all again! As we said last time, there are no more major updates planned for Outer Wilds or Echoes of the Eye because we are moving on to new projects. There might be smaller updates, like this one, as we have time, but we cannot guarantee more updates. Regardless, you can reach us via email to report any issues.

Thanks for your support and keep exploring!

Steam's best space game is on sale ahead of Starfield

One of the greatest space games ever made is having a very brief Steam sale right now, and it is absolutely an essential pick-up if you're waiting eagerly for the Starfield release date. Outer Wilds is a very difficult game to talk about without spoiling even just the core concept, so if you want to go in completely blind and have somehow missed the core conceit, we recommend it while the Outer Wilds sale is still on.
