Avowed Celebrates First Month with Major Update and Enhanced Features

Mar 19,25

Just one month after its release and Game Pass debut, Obsidian and Xbox Game Studios have released a celebratory new trailer for Avowed. The video highlights the overwhelmingly positive critical reception of this action-RPG, showcasing select reviews and quotes from gaming journalists.

This latest update introduces DLSS 4 support, encompassing Multi-Frame Generation, Super Resolution, and DLAA. These advancements significantly boost performance, with NVIDIA showcasing up to a three-fold increase in frame rates at maximum 4K settings, reaching an impressive 340 FPS. Further announcements regarding future support and a roadmap for Avowed are teased for the coming weeks.

Beyond the technical enhancements, this update also refines the player experience. Players now earn an extra talent point every five levels; existing players receive these retroactively upon loading the game. Keyboard and mouse users gain the ability to toggle between walking and running, and a new accessibility feature allows for increased font sizes in in-game text, documents, and guides.

While Avowed didn't achieve universal, speechless praise, it still earned strong reviews overall. Digital Foundry's commendation of the game as a technical "triumph" further cements its reputation as a remarkable achievement from Obsidian.
