While The Outer Worlds is designed to give players a great deal of agency, cheats are a way for fans to have even more control over their experiences. Indeed, players that are open to using The Outer Worlds cheats can do things like give their characters infinite HP and unlimited money, and these modifications can certainly be a lot of fun to play around with. For those players that would like to experience these cheats for themselves, a bit of instruction may be called for.

Before diving into The Outer Worlds cheats, it is important to clarify that they are only usable by those fans that are playing on PC. That is because these cheats rely on entering console commands, and unfortunately PS4, Switch, and Xbox One players cannot access the window where such commands can be input. As such, console players must beat The Outer Worlds  without the assistance of any cheats.

The Outer Worlds Cheats

The first step to using cheats in The Outer Worlds is to unlock the developer console, and that can be done in a variety of ways. Perhaps the simplest of these ways is to download this The Outer Worlds console enabler and extract its contents to an easy-to-find location. When that has been done, players should start The Outer Worlds, navigate to its main menu, and then run the .exe file that they have just extracted. Now fans can go back to the RPG and press ~ to open the developer console.

With the console open, players are ready to enter commands into it in order to activate various cheats. Here is a list of relevant console commands for The Outer Worlds fans to choose from:

To note, there are several other console commands that can be used in The Outer Worlds, but they are functionally different than the cheats listed above. As examples, players can change the field of view in the game with "fov [ENTER AMOUNT]," they can unlock a flycam with "toggledebugcamera," and they can toggle the HUD with "ShowHUD." While these console commands may not be quite as exciting as the cheats, some players will still be happy to put them to use in this acclaimed title from Obsidian Entertainment.

The Outer Worlds is out now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
