[QUOTE="Admin, post: 69733, member: 1"] [IMG]https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/01/08/avowed-developer-interview-new-game-showcase-2026-1-7-screenshot-1767912460064.png[/IMG] Avowed is the latest Xbox Game Studios creation to head to PlayStation, developer Obsidian announced today. This news came as part of an interview on the [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yhr_UqvElk']New Game+ Showcase[/URL], where Obsidian developers shared that the February 17 launch on PS5 would coincide with the game's promised anniversary update on all platforms. The anniversary update contains a number of [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/avowed-update-14-patch-notes-include-arachnaphobia-mode-and-2025-post-launch-roadmap']long-requested features[/URL], including a New Game Plus mode, a Photo Mode, the ability to play three new races (Aumaua, Orlan, and Dwarves), a new weapon type, the ability to change appearance in the overworld, and a number of other asked-for upgrades. Pre-orders for the PS5 version will go live today, and the update will be available for free for those who already own it on other platforms. Avowed came out almost a year ago (hence the anniversary update), and [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/avowed-review']we gave it a 7/10 at the time[/URL]. While we said it has "awesome worldbuilding and stellar character writing", it also "plays it quite safe with a by-the-numbers fantasy adventure." Avowed's move to PlayStation is part of a larger trend of Xbox releasing its first-party games on its competitor platform, including recently Forza Horizon 5, Doom: The Dark Ages, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and even Halo..
