How hard is Outer Wilds?
Where the challenge is: systems — knowing how it works. You get through it by working out what the game is actually doing and coming back with a better build or a better plan, not by faster hands.
Who actually finishes Outer Wilds
- PlayStation6.2%of everyone who owns it on PlayStation“You've met a terrible fate.”about 27% of the ones who actually played it
- Xbox2.4%of everyone who owns it on Xbox“You've met a terrible fate.”about 19% of the ones who actually played it
Same game, three different crowds. Steam, PlayStation and Xbox each work these percentages out from their own players, so the numbers move around while the game stays exactly the same. A lower number doesn't mean it's harder on that platform.

How rarity is calculated
Each platform calculates rarity from its own player population. These percentages are shown side by side but are not a controlled comparison.
- PlayStation — Sony's published earn rate across PlayStation Network players.
- Xbox — Microsoft's published rarity percentage across Xbox players.
Percentages are shown exactly as each platform publishes them. Pyroblast does not recalculate them and does not mix player populations together. Data updated .
