Obsidian's Avowed: 60fps on Xbox Series X Confirmed, Series S Locked at 30fps
Avowed, Obsidian Entertainment's highly anticipated RPG, will achieve a frame rate of up to 60 frames per second (fps) on the Xbox Series X, according to game director Carrie Patel in a MinnMax interview. While she didn't elaborate on specifics, the confirmation contrasts with the previously announced 30fps cap for the Xbox Series S version.
Whether Avowed will offer selectable performance and graphics modes—a common feature providing a trade-off between frame rate and visual fidelity—remains unclear. The possibility exists that 60fps will be the default setting on the Series X, or that a dedicated performance mode will be included.
The game's release date presents a curious pricing structure. Those willing to pay $89.99 will gain early access on February 13th, while the standard $69.99 edition launches on February 18th. This staggered release, a growing trend among publishers, has already been abandoned by some, such as Ubisoft.
Avowed, set within the Pillars of Eternity universe, is a first-person fantasy RPG emphasizing player choice and agency. Players will unravel mysteries, forge alliances or rivalries, and navigate a world steeped in war and intrigue. IGN's final preview lauded the game's engaging conversations, freedom of player action, and overall enjoyable experience, stating simply, "Avowed is just a lot of fun."
