Obsidian Entertainment's highly anticipated role-playing game, Avowed, is set to achieve a smooth 60 frames per second on the Xbox Series X. Game director Carrie Patel shared this exciting update with MinnMax, confirming that players can expect up to 60fps on Microsoft's top-tier console. However, those playing on the Xbox Series S will be capped at 30fps, as previously announced.
While it remains uncertain whether Avowed will feature a performance mode and graphics mode—common options that allow players to choose between 60fps with reduced visuals or 30fps with enhanced graphics—it's possible that the default setting on the Xbox Series X might naturally reach 60fps.
Avowed is scheduled for release on February 13 for those willing to invest at least $89.99. However, fans looking to purchase the game for $69.99 will have to wait until February 18, due to a staggered release strategy employed by Microsoft. This approach, while increasingly common among publishers, has been abandoned by companies like Ubisoft.
Set within the same universe as Pillars of Eternity, Avowed is a first-person fantasy RPG that places a significant emphasis on player choice. The narrative delves into themes of war, mystery, and intrigue, allowing players to navigate the game world and develop relationships that can evolve into friendships or rivalries.
In IGN's Final Preview of Avowed, the game received acclaim for its nuanced conversations and the freedom it offers players. IGN's review highlighted that "Avowed is just a lot of fun," underscoring its engaging gameplay and immersive experience.
