The Outer Worlds Game Looks Blurry – There are numerous problems with the game at the moment; we can’t blame the developers since they can’t do testing at this volume right away. When I started playing the game, I had a feeling that this game looked way too blurry, and there was no option in settings to turn this thing down.
Do read this if you are facing crashing issues in the Outer Worlds.

Fix The Outer Worlds Game Looks Blurry
The game looks blurry and weird due to TAA and DOF. You can turn them off. There’s no option for the same in the settings, so we’ll tweak a few files.
Fix for Xbox Game Pass Owners
#1 – First, locate where the game is installed. The default location is:
Location for Xbox Game Pass owners:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\PrivateDivision.TheOuterWorldsWindows10_hv3d7yfbgr2rp\LocalCache\Local\Indiana\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
#2 – This is where you will find the Engine.ini file, edit it
Add to Engine.ini (under whatever you have in there):
[/Script/Engine.RendererSettings]
r.PostProcessAAQuality=0
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0
After editing the file (Xbox game pass), this is how it should look

Fix for Epic Games Users
Location for Epic Games users:
AppData\Local\Indiana\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
Epic Users can change their file settings to:
r.MotionBlur.Max=0
r.MotionBlurQuality=0
r.DefaultFeature.MotionBlur=0
r.SceneColorFringe.Max=0
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0
r.Tonemapper.Quality=0
r.LensFlareQuality=0
r.DefaultFeature.LensFlare=0
r.DefaultFeature.Bloom=0
r.BloomQuality=0
#3 – Save the file. You can set the file to read-only mode to ensure that the game doesn’t change automatically.
This should fix the blurriness issue in the Outer Worlds. The game is beautiful as it is, and the blur effects make it look weird.

That’s all.
I don’t understand. Can only Epic users use the settings you provided for Epic users? Why do you have options for one launcher and not the other? This needs to be more clear.
Because windows doesn’t allow modification of Xbox app files.
The path to the config folder is right there in the guide
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\PrivateDivision.TheOuterWorldsWindows10_hv3d7yfbgr2rp\LocalCache\Local\Indiana\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
DDark is wrong
That folder does not exist. When I go into “TheOuterWorldsWindows10_hv3d7yfbgr2rp” there is no LocalCache. I searched the entire directory and there is no engine.ini and it is definitely where I installed the game.
Which ini file do I need to edit as an Epic Games Store user? Is it also Engine.ini? Thanks!
Yes
Thanks!
