When you’re making a sequel, you can’t just repeat yourself. You must go bigger, stranger, and make even more questionably necessary swag. That’s why, to celebrate The Outer Worlds 2, we’re proud (and slightly bewildered) to introduce The Moon Man Couch-Panion — a 3 ft/90cm plush that’s equal parts collectible, cuddle buddy, and living room oddity.

Yes, you read that right. We made The Moon Man into a plush toy.

The Couch-Panion is no ordinary plush. This oversized lunar legend comes with stress-ball squishy hands (scientifically designed for rage-quitting), a popcorn bucket holder (for critical snack storage), and straps for your Xbox Wireless Controller and TV remote (because pockets are overrated). He doesn’t talk — thank goodness — but his oversized eyes practically scream: You are valid, even if I wouldn’t have made such a long lasting choice like you just did in the game.

Some might ask, “Why would anyone need a plush the size of a small asteroid in their home?” To them, we say: why wouldn’t you? Sequel launches demand gravity-defying levels of hype. And nothing says “Big Sequel Energy” quite like The Moon Man staring silently at you while you explore new worlds, reminding you that the universe is vast, cruel, and somehow also cuddly.

This isn’t just merch. This isn’t just a plush. This is a lifestyle choice. A statement piece. A co-pilot for every late-night quest and awkward snack run. It’s satire you can hug — and proof that The Outer Worlds 2 lives beyond the game, it parks a 3 ft/90cm plush on your couch while it does so.

So go ahead, strap in. The Moon Man Couch-Panion is here to hold your snacks, your controller, and maybe even your self-worth. Because if you’re going to experience sequel greatness, you might as well do it with Big Sequel Energy — and one very questionable plush by your side.

The Outer Worlds 2 is the eagerly-awaited sequel to the award-winning first-person sci-fi RPG from Obsidian Entertainment (just look at the exciting number of dashes in this sentence!). Time to clear your calendar – get ready for an action-packed adventure with a new crew, new weapons, and new enemies in a new colony! So much newness!

As a daring and most likely good-looking Earth Directorate agent, you must uncover the source of devastating rifts threatening to destroy all of humanity. Your investigation leads to Arcadia, home of skip drive technology, where the fate of the colony, and ultimately the entire galaxy, rests on your decisions – your strengths, your flaws, your crew, and the factions you choose to trust.

Explore a New Frontier
The Arcadia colony is engulfed in a factional war, as the Protectorate’s so-called benevolent rule is challenged by the rebellion of their religious order and a corporate invasion. As destructive rifts spread across the colony, each faction fights to control or close them for their own ends. Navigate diverse zones, uncover hidden lore, and shape the fate of a system on the brink!

Your Commander, Your Way
Build your character with the abilities and choices that reflect your playstyle. The colony reacts to your every move, crafting a narrative that’s yours to own -whether you’re a disciple of diplomacy, an astute strategist, a crusader for chaos, or something different altogether. And yes, you can dumb!

Enlist Your Companions
Recruit companions with unique traits, backgrounds and goals. Whether you choose to help them achieve their ambitions or steer them toward your own objectives, your influence shapes their growth (or death), making them an integral part of the immersive story you create together.
