Obsidian RPG Avowed Can Hit 60FPS on Xbox Series X

by Carter Mar 17,2025

Obsidian Entertainment's upcoming RPG, Avowed, will run at 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 Xbox Series S version will remain capped at 30fps, as previously announced.

Whether Avowed will offer selectable performance and graphics modes—a common feature allowing players to prioritize either frame rate or visual fidelity—remains unclear. It's possible the 60fps target is the default setting on Xbox Series X.

Avowed launches on February 13th for those who purchase the premium edition ($89.99). The standard edition ($69.99) will be available starting February 18th, reflecting a recent industry trend of staggered releases that has already been abandoned by some publishers like Ubisoft.

Set in the same universe as Pillars of Eternity, Avowed is a first-person fantasy RPG emphasizing player choice and agency. Players will navigate a world steeped in war, mystery, and intrigue, forging relationships and rivalries that shape their journey. IGN's final preview praised the game's nuanced conversations, player freedom, and overall enjoyable experience, stating, "Avowed is just a lot of fun."
