60 FPS Mode for Avowed Is Official
Obsidian Entertainment’s highly anticipated RPG game Avowed is on the agenda with a new performance detail shortly before its release. Game director Carrie Patel confirmed in a statement that Xbox Series X players will be able to play the game in 60 FPS mode. The game, which was previously stated to be limited to 30 FPS, takes a technical step forward with this development.
Multiple Performance Options for Avowed
Carrie Patel explained in an interview that Xbox Series X users will be able to choose between three different performance modes: 30 FPS, 40 FPS, and 60 FPS. However, it is stated that some sacrifices will be made in graphical details in 60 FPS mode. Xbox Series S users will only be able to access 30 and 40 FPS modes from these options.
This announcement contradicts Obsidian’s previous statement from August 2024. At the time, the team said that lighting and details were more important than fast gameplay. However, it appears that the additional development time gained by delaying the game allowed for performance improvements.
Avowed’s PC system requirements have also been revealed. A graphics card such as a Radeon RX 5700 or GeForce GTX 1070 is recommended to play the game at minimum levels. Higher graphics settings require powerful hardware such as an RX 6800 XT or RTX 3080. Some testers reported that the game’s detailed world was quite demanding on hardware.
Avowed will be released on February 18, 2025 and will be available in the Xbox Game Pass library. Set in the Pillars of Eternity universe, Obsidian’s new game draws attention with both its open-world RPG elements and action-packed gameplay.
Obsidian Entertainment is preparing to make an ambitious return to the RPG world with Avowed. The 60 FPS mode promises to increase the competitiveness of the game in a technical sense, while providing a smoother experience for Xbox Series X users. As the release date approaches, more details about Avowed’s performance and gameplay are expected to be revealed.
