If I buy from MS Store, can you mod game using Nexus mods?

[Hexton]

I suppose this isn't just a Outer Worlds question, but if I can't wait a year and I purchase from MS Store, can I use nexus mods and vortex?

Really unlikely for this game, like a 0.1% chance https://windowsreport.com/mod-support-microsoft-store/

[Hexton]

Huh ok. Well maybe I'll hold off for a year then.

You would think with all the talk from Microsoft, about being pro gaming, they would allow modding. Very disappointing.

I can wait, I'm not using Epic/Tencent/Chines Gov platform...

There is no official mod support planned for the game anyway, so if there are mods, they'll be sparse and they likely won't be installed with a mod installer program, but manually

Nobody in the business world want modding lol. "Pro gamer" from the mouhth of a publisher is just code word for: our product and policy is less ♥♥♥♥ than the competitors, enjoy.

No, the files from Microsoft store are locked and encrypted, so no mods.

Also you can't make backup of the files if you are going to reinstall windows.

That's why i buy will buy from Epic Store, i can't wait 1 year.

I didn't think Epic allowed local backups of game files? Install files anyway, unless you're only talking about saved games. (But then don't they have cloud saves? Or is that still on their "roadmap")

Windows 10 games are a little weird. They don't quite exist as applications on windows. Its really weird.

I been a user of Microsoft products since I started PC gaming. They never change, they do everything they can to lock you into their eco-system. MS store does this and I would 100% advice people to buy from other sources first.

OP, I find some people's reasoning a little odd. OK they may not like epic store but they rather do a deal with the devil instead ?

[Hexton]

Thats your opinion like I have mine. I find a company tied to the Chines Gov far worse than MS. But I'll not buy from either, I can wait a year no problem.

RDR 2 is coming out on PC this year Nov if you use their new shiny launcher, or steam in December....

As a win 10 user their ms store launcher is already installed on my pc, they already have my contact info and credit card details.

Epic otoh doesn't, and never will.

To be fair the MS store actually has a shopping cart though.

I wonder when egs is going to catch up to this revolutionary piece of technology.

That game alone is reason enough to steer clear of egs.
