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 Patel didn't elaborate on specifics, the confirmation settles prior speculation. The Xbox Series S version, as previously announced, will remain capped at 30fps.
Whether Avowed will offer selectable performance and graphics modes—a common feature allowing players to prioritize either frame rate or visual fidelity—remains unclear. The possibility exists that the 60fps target on the Series X is the default setting, or that a dedicated performance mode will be included.
The game's release date presents a curious pricing structure. Players willing to pay $89.99 will gain early access on February 13th, while those opting for the standard $69.99 edition must wait until February 18th. This staggered release strategy, employed by several publishers, has already been abandoned by some, including Ubisoft.
Avowed, set within the Pillars of Eternity universe, is a first-person fantasy RPG emphasizing player agency and choice. Players will unravel a narrative rich in war, mystery, and intrigue, forging alliances and rivalries as they explore the game's expansive world.
IGN's final preview lauded Avowed's engaging dialogue, freedom of player choice, and overall enjoyable experience, stating, "Avowed is just a lot of fun."
