"Obsidian's Avowed Targets 60FPS on Xbox Series X"

Obsidian Entertainment's highly anticipated role-playing game, Avowed, is set to deliver a smooth gaming experience on the Xbox Series X, capable of reaching up to 60 frames per second (fps). Game director Carrie Patel shared this exciting update with MinnMax, confirming that players can enjoy this higher frame rate on Microsoft's flagship console. However, those on the Xbox Series S will be limited to a 30fps performance, aligning with earlier statements.

It remains uncertain whether Avowed will feature the now-common performance and graphics modes. Typically, performance mode offers 60fps with reduced visual quality, while graphics mode prioritizes enhanced visuals at 30fps. It's yet to be clarified if the Xbox Series X's 60fps capability is a default setting or part of a specific performance mode.

Avowed is slated for release on February 13 for those opting for the premium $89.99 version. Fans who prefer the standard $69.99 edition will have to wait until February 18, a strategy increasingly adopted by publishers, though recently abandoned by Ubisoft.

Set within the universe of Pillars of Eternity, Avowed is a first-person fantasy RPG that heavily emphasizes player choice. The narrative delves into themes of war, mystery, and intrigue, allowing players to explore a richly detailed world and build relationships or rivalries with its inhabitants.

IGN's Final Preview of Avowed highlighted the game's strengths, commending its nuanced conversations and the freedom it grants to players. The preview concluded that "Avowed is just a lot of fun," underscoring the game's engaging gameplay and immersive experience.
