How to Say "outdated" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “outdated” is “superado” — B2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
Ella está superada. Ya no le afecta el divorcio.
She is over it (emotionally recovered). The divorce doesn't affect her anymore.

That phone is an outdated model.
El reto fue superado con éxito por el equipo.

Agreement is Key
When 'superado' is used as an adjective (often with 'estar' or 'ser'), it MUST change its ending to match the person or thing it describes: 'superada' (feminine), 'superados' (plural masculine), 'superadas' (plural feminine).
Confusing the Two Forms
Mistake: “Using 'Ella ha superada' (incorrectly changing the ending with 'haber').”
Correction: When using 'haber' (has/have), the participle never changes: 'Ella ha superado'. When using 'estar' (is/are) to describe a state, it changes: 'Ella está superada'.
