Avowed Targets 60FPS on Xbox Series X

Obsidian Entertainment's highly anticipated role-playing game, Avowed, is set to deliver a smooth gaming experience on the Xbox Series X, with the capability to reach up to 60 frames per second (fps). Game director Carrie Patel shared this exciting news with MinnMax, although she did not elaborate further. However, fans of the Xbox Series S should note that their version will be capped at 30fps, as previously announced.

While it remains uncertain whether Avowed will feature the now-standard performance and graphics modes—typically offering a choice between 60fps with reduced visuals or 30fps with enhanced graphics—it's possible that the Xbox Series X version might naturally achieve 60fps without a specific mode toggle.

Scheduled for release on February 13, Avowed comes with a premium price tag of $89.99. However, for those looking to save, a more budget-friendly option at $69.99 will be available starting February 18. This tiered pricing strategy, recently adopted by some publishers, has already been abandoned by companies like Ubisoft.

Set within the same universe as the acclaimed Pillars of Eternity series, Avowed is a first-person fantasy RPG that places a strong emphasis on player choice. The narrative is rich with themes of war, mystery, and intrigue, allowing players to explore a vast world and develop relationships that can evolve into friendships or rivalries.

IGN's Final Preview of Avowed was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the game's nuanced conversations and the freedom it offers players. The review concluded that "Avowed is just a lot of fun," setting high expectations for its release.
