- From May 27, the base game edition will be delisted, replaced by the Spacer's Choice Edition, with free upgrades available for current-gen players who own the base game, and adjusted pricing for legacy systems.
- The update comes amid mixed performance for Obsidian's recent RPGs, with The Outer Worlds 2 and Avowed underperforming, while Grounded 2 achieved notable success after a shorter development cycle.
