Obsidian Entertainment’s latest role-playing game, Avowed, has made a strong debut on Steam in the US, claiming the top spot. As of now, it is the best-selling game on the platform and ranks among the top five globally.
Avowed is currently available only for those who purchase the Premium Edition on Steam, while Xbox Game Pass users can access it through the Premium Upgrade. This trend has been observed with other Xbox first-party games in recent years, and it’s expected to continue in 2025.
The game offers a strong return to the world of Eora, and developers are eagerly awaiting more data from firms like Circana to get a better understanding of its performance. Meanwhile, reviewers have praised Avowed for its engaging combat system, which allows players to mix-and-match spells with different weapons.
For those considering trying it out, a review by colleague Zachary Boddy highlights the game’s numerous hours of joy and memorable experiences. Avowed launches on February 18, 2025, across Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC via Steam, the Xbox App, and Battle.net.
