Developers from Obsidian Entertainment have hinted in a recent interview that Avowed may launch on Xbox Series X/S consoles without a 60fps performance mode. As the next big game from the renowned RPG developer behind Pillars of Eternity and The Outer Worlds, Avowed is targeting a high bar for visual and gameplay complexity, but it may come at the cost of a smooth 60fps framerate.
First revealed in 2020, Avowed is an upcoming fantasy action RPG set in the same universe as Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity series. Xbox's January 2024 Developer_Direct confirmed a late 2024 release for the game, but due to the holiday season being stacked with big releases like Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Assassin's Creed Shadows, Avowed's launch was pushed to early 2025. This will not only give Avowed some breathing room when it releases, but will also grant Obsidian a few extra months to polish the game as much as possible.
Obsidian Entertainment reveals more information about its upcoming fantasy RPG, Avowed, including some details regarding the game's endings.
Although additional time for refinement is never a bad thing, it seems Avowed could still launch without a major feature on Xbox...
