Avowed Celebrates First Month with Major Update and Enhanced Features

Just one month after its release and Game Pass debut, Obsidian and Xbox Game Studios released a celebratory new trailer for Avowed. The video highlights the overwhelmingly positive critical reception of this action-RPG, showcasing select quotes and reviews from gaming journalists.

This latest update introduces support for DLSS 4, encompassing Multi-Frame Generation, Super Resolution, and DLAA. These advancements significantly boost performance; NVIDIA showcased a potential threefold increase in frame rates at maximum 4K settings, achieving up to 340 FPS. Further announcements regarding the game's future support and roadmap are promised in the coming weeks.

Beyond the technical enhancements, this update also refines the player experience. Players now gain an extra talent point every five levels, with retroactive awards for existing players upon game load. Keyboard and mouse users gain a toggle for walking/running, and a new accessibility feature allows for increased font sizes within in-game documents, guides, and text.

While not universally lauded, Avowed received strong reviews, with Digital Foundry even hailing it as a technical "triumph," cementing its position as a notable achievement from Obsidian.
