Avowed PS5 Release Date Confirmed for February 17
/
Xbox Game Studios and developer Obsidian Entertainment have confirmed that their action RPG Avowed is launching on PlayStation 5 on February 17. The announcement was made during a New Game+ showcase interview focused on the game’s upcoming anniversary patch.
The anniversary update introduces several new features, including New Game Plus, a Photo Mode, a new staff weapon type for mage builds, and additional playable races such as Dwarf, Orlan, and Aumaua. It also expands character creation with new presets, Godlike option presets, and more customization features.
This update aligns with the final phase of the game’s content update roadmap and will go live on the same day as the PS5 release.
For those unfamiliar, Avowed is a first-person and third-person action RPG set in the Pillars of Eternity universe. Players take on the role of an Envoy sent by the emperor to investigate a mysterious plague spreading across the Living Lands, exploring a segmented open-world filled with political intrigue and various mysteries.
Avowed is the latest Microsoft title to go cross-platform, continuing the company’s slow shift away from full exclusivity. Formerly Xbox-only franchises like Gears of War: Reloaded and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 have already made their way to PS5, with Halo: Campaign Evolved also set to launch on Sony’s console in 2026.
