Obsidian Entertainment has declined to comment on the possibility of a PS5 version of its upcoming action role-playing game, Avowed.
During an interview with MinnMax on YouTube, Avowed game director Carrie Patel was asked a series of questions regarding Obsidian’s new action role-playing game. Host Ben Hanson jokingly asked Patel to breathe during the interview as a secret nod if Avowed is coming to PS5, to which she smiled and agreed, declining to say any further.
Furthermore, Patel was asked about Avowed’s frame rate on Xbox Series X. In response, she confirmed that the title will run at up to 60 fps. The game director also reaffirmed that the action role-playing game will not feature an world, and will instead contain open zones for players to explore. In terms of size and scale, she said that Avowed has essentially the same scope as The Outer Worlds.
Patel confirmed that Avowed will not offer an kind of microtransactions, but it may receive DLCs in the future. According to her, the largest cities in the game will have around 100 NPCs.She also said that pushing the launch of Avowed to 2025 has allowed the development team at Obsidian Entertainment to spend more time on improving the game. When asked about the possibility of a potential Avowed sequel that retains player choices from the game, the game director said that it could “hypothetically” happen.
A Reddit user who has early access to Avowed recently revealed that the game will offer 30, 40, and 60 fps performance modes on Xbox Series X, and 30 and 40 FPS on Xbox Series S at launch. This is in line with what Patel said about the console offering a frame rate of up to 60 fps on the Series X. As is usually the case, the 30 fps Quality mode will deliver the best possible graphics at the highest possible resolution on both consoles. On the other hand, the 40 fps Balanced mode will offer a balance between visuals and performance on both Xbox Series X|S. Meanwhile, the 60 fps Performance mode is only available on the more powerful Xbox Series X, targeting a higher frame rate while making compromises on graphics settings and resolution.
