This is Epic exclusive for a year, right?
Game Pass
Neverheard.
Game Pass is a subscription service (pay per month) from Microsoft that's available separately for both Xbox and PC that gives you access to download and play any games from a library that updates with new games (and old games eventually leave the library). They've been offering some good deals recently to entice people to sign up. It does require Win 10 if you get the PC version, though. Outer Worlds will be on both Xbox and PC versions of the Pass.
Which also raises the point that while it's not available on Steam/GoG for a year, it is available to buy on the Microsoft Store (as any PC Game Pass game is) if PC-only people want to avoid Epic but don't want to wait a year.
So even if you don't have a game pass you can still buy from the MS store. Is there a client for that with MS then? Any downside? Seems like a good alternative for those who don't want to wait a year but don't want to use Epic.
