Obsidian Entertainment's eagerly awaited role-playing game, Avowed, promises a smooth gaming experience on Xbox Series X, reaching up to 60 frames per second. Game director Carrie Patel shared this exciting detail with MinnMax, though she kept further specifics under wraps. Meanwhile, Xbox Series S players will be capped at 30fps, as previously announced.
It remains to be seen whether Avowed will feature the now-standard performance and graphics modes, where performance mode typically offers 60fps with reduced visual quality, and graphics mode delivers 30fps with enhanced visuals. It's uncertain if the Xbox Series X version will naturally achieve 60fps at its default setting.
Scheduled for release on February 13, Avowed comes with a premium price tag of $89.99. However, for those opting for the standard $69.99 price, Microsoft has set a later release date of February 18. This pricing strategy reflects a growing trend among publishers, though it has been abandoned by companies like Ubisoft.
Set in the rich universe of Pillars of Eternity, Avowed is a first-person fantasy RPG that places a significant emphasis on player choice. The narrative unfolds through stories of war, mystery, and intrigue, allowing players to explore the world and build relationships—or rivalries—with its inhabitants.
IGN's Final Preview of Avowed showered the game with praise, highlighting its nuanced conversations, extensive player freedom, and overall fun factor, stating, "Avowed is just a lot of fun."
