definitive edition

[smanj440]

Does it contain the DLC The Soroboreans? Steam says I don't have the Soroboreans, yet the description for the Definitive Edition says it contains the Three Brothers as well as Soroboreans. Thanks

TLDR - Yes, DE have Soroboreans, no need to buy.

just make sure to follow this Checklist, because a lot of players open the wrong version of the game. This checklist is mostly for people that try coop, but it still apply for people that is opening the wrong version.

As usual, checklist time.

First: Make sure you're both running the same version of the game. This is most easily done by looking at what the initial title screen says. If you're on classic Outward it'll say something such as "Outward", "Outward The Soroboreans", or "Outward The Three Brothers", while Definitive Edition will say "Outward Definitive Edition".

You can confirm if you've got Definitive Edition or not by going into Steam, right-clicking Outward -> Properties -> DLC. If you've got at least The Three Brothers and DEFED DLC, you've got Definitive Edition.

Second: If you DO have Definitive Edition, make sure you're either launching from Steam directly (At which point it'll prompt you to pick classic or DE). The shortcut, BY DEFAULT, launches classic Outward.

You can change this by going into the properties of the shortcut and changing the URL to steam://rungameid/1758860 to force it to launch DE.

Third: Make sure the region the host opens the game on, as well as the spelling (Including capital letters) are EXACTLY the same.

Finally: Make sure you've allowed Outward's .exe through your system's firewall, antivirus, as well as tried forwarding ports as outlined at https://portforward.com/outward/.

Don't want to bother with its own thread ... but as someone who bought this game a while back, I find it very annoying that the graphics for the game say "Definitive Edition" while it's only the regular version.

The Steam Store page says I own the Definitive Edition. I can review DE. But I don't own it. I can't purchase it if I wanted to. And there's no great indicator saying I need to buy Three Brothers to get it.

Even if I do buy Three Brothers to get an upgrade to DE, I'd have to start the game over ... which I'm just not doing.

It say on the Store Page this
"If you own the original base game and The Three Brothers DLC on PC, you can redeem a free digital copy of Outward Definitive Edition."

And you can convert Classic Outward save to DE with this tool

They did this so confusing. The steam store page and the steam graphics for outward all show "definitive edition". I reinstalled and played for 26 hours before I realized that I wasn't actually playing D.E. :P

Yup, it's a confusing mess. From the reviews, looks like I won't be missing much by skipping it altogether.
