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 confirmed to MinnMax that players can expect to reach up to 60fps on Microsoft's more powerful console, while the Xbox Series S version will be capped at 30fps as previously announced.
While details remain scarce, it's uncertain whether *Avowed* will feature both a performance mode and a graphics mode, a common feature in modern games. Typically, performance mode prioritizes 60fps with reduced visual quality, whereas graphics mode offers enhanced visuals at 30fps. It's yet to be determined if the default setting on Xbox Series X will naturally hit 60fps.
Scheduled for release on February 13, *Avowed* comes with a premium price tag of $89.99. However, fans opting for the standard $69.99 version will have to wait until February 18, reflecting a pricing strategy recently adopted by some publishers but already abandoned by others 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 world and build relationships or rivalries with the characters they encounter.
In IGN's Final Preview, *Avowed* received acclaim for its nuanced conversations, extensive player freedom, and overall enjoyment, with the review stating, "*Avowed* is just a lot of fun."
