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 the action-RPG, showcasing select reviews and quotes from gaming journalists.

This update introduces DLSS 4 support, encompassing Multi-Frame Generation, Super Resolution, and DLAA. These technologies significantly boost performance; NVIDIA showcased a potential three-fold increase in frame rates at maximum 4K settings, reaching 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 improves the player experience. Players now earn an additional talent point every five levels; existing players receive these retroactively upon loading the game. Keyboard and mouse users gain the ability to toggle between walking and running, and a new accessibility feature allows for increased font sizes in in-game text, documents, and guides.

While Avowed didn't achieve universal, speechless praise, it still earned strong reviews. Digital Foundry, for example, lauded the game as a technical "triumph," further cementing its reputation as a remarkable achievement from Obsidian.
