Obsidian Entertainment's highly anticipated role-playing game, Avowed, is set to deliver a smooth gaming experience by reaching up to 60 frames per second on the Xbox Series X. Game director Carrie Patel shared this exciting news with MinnMax, although she did not provide additional details. However, fans of the Xbox Series S should note that their version will be capped at 30fps, as previously announced.
It remains uncertain whether Avowed will feature the now-common performance and graphics modes, where performance mode typically offers 60fps with reduced visual quality, and graphics mode provides 30fps with enhanced visuals. Alternatively, the game might achieve 60fps on the Xbox Series X by default.
Scheduled for release on February 13, Avowed comes with a premium price tag of $89.99. Those looking to save and spend $69.99 will have to wait a bit longer, until February 18, due to Microsoft's tiered pricing strategy. This approach, also adopted by other publishers, has seen mixed reactions and has already been abandoned by companies like Ubisoft.
Set within the universe of Pillars of Eternity, Avowed is a first-person fantasy RPG that places a strong emphasis on player choice. Players will immerse themselves in a narrative rich with war, mystery, and intrigue, as they explore the land and build relationships that can lead to alliances or enmities.
Avowed has already garnered positive feedback, with IGN's Final Preview commending the game for its nuanced conversations, extensive player freedom, and overall enjoyment, stating that "Avowed is just a lot of fun."
