Obsidian Entertainment's upcoming RPG, Avowed, will run at up to 60 frames per second on the Xbox Series X, according to game director Carrie Patel in a MinnMax interview. While she didn't elaborate on specifics, the Xbox Series S version will remain capped at 30fps, as previously announced.

Whether Avowed will offer selectable performance and graphics modes—a common feature allowing players to prioritize either framerate or visual fidelity—remains unclear. It's possible the 60fps target is the default setting on the Series X.

Avowed launches on February 13th for those purchasing the premium edition ($89.99), while the standard edition ($69.99) will be available starting February 18th. This staggered release strategy, while employed by some publishers, has already been abandoned by others, such as Ubisoft.

Set within the Pillars of Eternity universe, Avowed is a first-person fantasy RPG emphasizing player choice and agency. Players will unravel a story rich with war, mystery, and intrigue, forging alliances and rivalries as they explore the game world.

IGN's final preview lauded the game's nuanced dialogue, player freedom, and overall enjoyable experience, stating simply, "Avowed is just a lot of fun."
