Avowed Launches February 18, Offers Three Graphics Modes on Xbox

Obsidian Entertainment's upcoming RPG, Avowed, is set to launch on February 18 for PC and Xbox Series X/S, with reviews available starting February 13. Game director Carrie Patel confirmed that the game will feature multiple graphics modes: Performance, Quality, and Balanced, allowing players to prioritize frame rates or visual fidelity based on their display capabilities. The Performance mode targets up to 60 FPS on Xbox Series X, while the Balanced mode aims to provide a compromise between quality and performance, particularly for those using 120Hz displays. Reports suggest that Xbox Series S will support 30 and 40 FPS modes, with the Quality mode running at 30 FPS. Patel emphasized that optimization efforts are being finalized as development progresses, aiming for a smooth gaming experience. Players are eager to see how Avowed's performance stacks up against other recent RPGs upon its release.
